Fujitsu Partners with InMotion Digital Media to Bring Mobile Marketing Capabilities to Retailers
Richardson, TX, January 13, 2009 — Fujitsu Transaction Solutions Inc. and InMotion Digital Media have partnered to make mobile marketing a reality in the retail industry. The companies will combine InMotion’s Flip Pocket Connect™ software with Fujitsu technology to enable marketing campaigns to mobile devices.
The solution will give retailers the ability to send promotions and coupons to mobile “subscribers” across various geographies and carriers.
“The mobile device is the next promotional frontier for retailers, bringing unmatched personal and pervasive reach,” said Peter Wolf, vice president of Self-Service and Univations operations at Fujitsu Transaction Solutions. “Our partnership with InMotion Digital Media, and the combined mobile marketing solution, will empower both retailers and consumers with the ability to send and receive coupons and other offerings in a targeted and timely manner.”
The announcement was made at the National Retail Federation (NRF) 98th Annual Convention and Expo, Jan. 12-13 in New York City. Visitors to Fujitsu’s NRF Booth #411, can experience this solution “live,” using their cell phones to text numbers to a short code and then receive a promotional message and a coupon.
“Mobile marketing requires a unique combination of marketing and technical expertise to develop a campaign that is tailored to a retailer’s specific needs,” said Larry Lehoux, CEO of InMotion Digital Media. “Our Flip Pocket Connect application, with Fujitsu’s technology, combines these critical elements to form a robust, user-friendly solution that will help retailers navigate these emerging and uncharted waters.”
