Picture a marketing tool that could potentially reach anyone at any moment, casting a large, highly-targeted net while directly conveying a specific message. This advertising tactic is the cornerstone of Qittle, an Aspen-based mobilemarketing provider that’s revolutionizing the way businesses reach their consumers – by using text messaging. Casey McConnell’s entrepreneurial spirit rings (or vibrates) with each message.
“The mobile phone is the new personal computer,” says the soon-to-be 31-year-old CEO. Qittle provides an instantaneous line of contact between company and consumer: Whether it’s announcing eight inches of new snow at Snowmass or a new “Body Pump” class at Aspen Club & Spa, Qittle’s platform gives clients the freedom and mobility to communicate at the press of a button.
The future looks bright for Qittle. Clients are jumping on board in droves, and McConnell has big plans for his business. “I want Qittle to be to mobile what Google is to search.”
Marketers Looking Beyond Slump
Marketers plan to hit the ground running once the economy takes off.
For now, however, they are in a holding pattern of short-term strategies, according to a study by the Association of National Advertisers (ANA) and ‘mktg,’ a marketing services company.
Media budgets will be increased as conditions improve, according to more than two-thirds of the respondents (68%) to an April online survey of members of the ANA Brand Marketer Leadership Community panel. Forty-one percent said they will step up social networking/word-of-mouth, and 40% intend to raise spending for innovation and testing/learning.
Almost three-quarters of the respondents (73%) said they hope to employ these increased marketing activities three to six months before the recession ends, and by an additional 16% as soon as it ends. Read the full article here
