BIZ Global Media introduces LUCKY Shortcode 82222 (Double Eights) Mobile Marketing Platform

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) February 25, 2010 -- Like Text Messaging, Short Codes are easy, fast and discrete. Instead of sending messages to a 10-digit phone number, you send to a Short Code. These are five
or six digits long. Having a unique number that is easy to remember is essential to a Mobile Marketing campaign.

Biz Global Media has unveiled one of the most user friendly and memorable numbers for Media Advertising 82222. Since in many cultures, the number 8 is a lucky number, BIZ ‘s 82222 includes Double Eights. (Eight-Twenty-Two-Twenty-Two).

Al Krauza, President of Biz Global Media states “Short Codes take your everyday experiences and make them interactive, and take interactive experiences and make them faster and easier. For example, if your favorite radio station has a Short Code,
you may be able to use it to request songs, enter contests, vote on talk show issues, receive traffic and weather reports, and access many other services.
Unlike a 1-800 number, Short Codes make busy signals and waiting on hold a thing of the past: your request or vote gets delivered instantly.
Unlike e-mail, you can use a Short Code from almost anywhere: you don’t need a
computer as your message is delivered right from your phone”. (Example Text BIZ to 82222)

Like an email address, a Keyword/Shortcode will soon become a necessary item in every business info statement. Restaurants, Auto-Dealers, Entertainers and Advertising Agencies are already finding Mobile Marketing as the most effective ROI medium available.

“Shortcodes can also provide a the next generation of business cards”, states Jim Ferras, CEO of BIZ Global Media, “Imagine transferring all your business information, Name, Phone, Company, Email and URL to any cell phone instantly. Now your information is accessible to your prospect when you leave, as opposed to a business card which is thrown away immediately, or stored in a rubber band and never read”.

Short Code instructions appearing in print or on billboards, or heard on radio and

television, typically adhere to the following formula: Send “(message)” to (number).
For example, if you want a traffic update from your favorite radio station, you might
be instructed: Text TRAFFIC to 82222.

Sending a shortcode message is this as simple as Composing and sending a message to a Short Code is the same as choosing the option on your phone to create a new text message then address the text message by keying in 82222 with the key word (Example Text ALKRAUZA to 82222).
