Simply Wireless (http://www.simplywireless.com), one of the nation's leading wireless retailers, today announced an agreement with 2ergo (http://www.2ergo.com), a leading mobile marketing products company, to create integrated SMS campaigns and mobile Internet sites that will help the company communicate with new and existing customers and ultimately contribute to the retailer's acquisition and retention efforts. This is the first time that Simply Wireless will be using text messaging and mobile Internet sites as a marketing tool.

Simply Wireless is licensing two of 2ergo's professional-grade, self-service products to assist in the creation of its mobile marketing initiatives. Via allows the company to quickly set up targeted SMS campaigns, while Swift gives Simply Wireless the ability to easily create mobile Web pages in support of its marketing initiatives. Both products provide extensive tracking and reporting capabilities. By using 2ergo's mobile products, Simply Wireless will be able to engage its existing customer base to upsell products and services, as well as connect with new consumers in a cost-effective and impactful way.

"As a leading provider of mobile products and a company that is dedicated to customer service, it only made sense that we deploy an innovative mobile platform as a marketing tool," said Steven Qureshi, co-CEO of Simply Wireless. "Text messaging and mobile Internet sites are becoming increasingly popular, and we see this means of communication as a way to quickly and easily reach out to our base of loyal customers. With the help of 2ergo technology, we will improve acquisition and retention, reduce churn and increase the lifetime value of our customers."

Specific campaigns will include opt-in SMS reminder alerts within a month of a customer's contract renewal date and targeted promotions for a new device or plan. The SMS messages will provide a link to a mobile Internet site for more information, details on the nearest Simply Wireless retail outlet for purchase or a phone number to reach customer service.

In addition to reaching out to its existing opt-in customer base, Simply Wireless also plans to grow a new base of potential customers by advertising the short code, SIMPLY, through traditional media such as newspapers, magazines and in-store banners. Consumers will be prompted to text in the keyword to sign up for promotions and coupons from Simply Wireless.

"We're thrilled to have Simply Wireless on board and are excited about the innovative campaigns being created with our products to drive the lifetime value of its customer base," said Guy Vidra, managing director of 2ergo Americas. "Taking that innovation one step further, Simply Wireless is using marketing co-op money from a Tier 1 U.S. carrier to help offset the costs of these campaigns. This is the first indirect wireless retailer client for 2ergo, and we are looking forward to collective and continued success."
