1 SMSS is an online SMS solution aimed at consumers, SME's and corporates. In fact it has been designed to meet the needs of anyone who has a potential use for sms. The only limit is your imagination. By simply purchasing sms credits at SMSS, you get a unique keyword, which enables you to set up SMS campaigns in minutes. This keyword could be your product, company, personal name or any available keyword of your choice. Once a person has SMS'ed your keyword to an easy to remember 8-digit short code, a response will be processed according to the service you have set up for the keyword. This could take the form of an SMS competition, SMS or email response or the request could be automatically forwarded to your custom application. Each sms you receive is captured and placed in a database for you, complete with cell number and or email address The more SMS's you receive on your unique keyword, the more sms credits you will earn

2 SMSS is a mobile platform that allows you as a business or even an individual user to harness the power of instant mobile messaging. A text- based mobile messaging platform, SMSS harnesses the power of sms and translates it into a tool for users which is an easy and effective means to communicate, generate marketing and business opportunities, or even just a way in which to better deliver personal information. The SMSS solution has been designed to accommodate the simplest or most complex text-message campaign, and is delivered in a cost-effective, user friendly and manageable Web-based format. SMSS harnesses the two most basic principles of marketing and business by means of ‘push’ and ‘pull’. A simple and effective campaign can pay for itself in hours if the right audience is targeted, and ‘pull’ the information from the SMSS server, which in turn ‘pushes’ the right information down. By pushing the mobile message into the hands of the consumer you are able to capitalize on one of the most effective tools available to the marketing world today. The SMSS web-based back-end has been designed to be easy-to-use to ensure that anyone situated anywhere can have access to the world of Instant Mobile Messaging, in a matter of minutes

3 KEYWORDS Keywords are your unique SMS identity. They are the words that your customers will use to identify the service that you are offering. The scope of these keywords are limitless. When choosing a keyword, remember that when customers require a service, be it subscribing to your information offering or trying their hand at competitions you are running, they would prefer sending as short an SMS as possible, so plan your keywords accordingly. Once you have your own keyword – you are able to set-up sub-keywords at no extra charge! For example you take the main keyword John, you could then register your sub keyword as Smith, or contact. People who sms your sub-keyword are then able to get back a response based on what you have setup in the SMSS control panel Possibly the best example of this is the management of a ‘competition’ where participants are required to SMS the answer to the easy to remember number and then either be prompted to follow additional steps, or just be entered automatically into the competition. All information sent to SMSS is stored on the server from which databases can be created, information mined, reports generated, or numbers stored for the ‘legal’ reuse thereof

4 Examples of SMSS services in action Instant response system If you own an estate agency or car dealership, then why not advertise your unique keyword on your for-sale boards. When people see the boards they are just a text message away from receiving details about the house or vehicle directly to their phone and email (including pictures, documents and attachments) - even if your office is closed. You are then able to login to your SMSS control panel and have access to a list of phone numbers and email addresses belonging to people that requested info on the property or vehicle in order to follow up Streamlining customer queries Have you ever placed a classified advert in the local paper and then been besieged with phone calls for days from enquirers? Well, why not make use of your keyword as the method for people to contact you to make their initial enquiry. The system can automatically send them further info (including photos of the item for sale) to their email address, or text information back to their cell phone. The SMSS keyword owner can login to the SMSS control panel at a later stage, and will have a list of numbers belonging to the people who enquired about the advert. Instant information delivery Do you have a price list or subscription form which your users would need to obtain? Set this up on SMSS using the Automated Email Response Service. Let clients SMS their email address to your keyword and the price list will be sent to them via email Taking advertising to new levels You’re organizing the latest marketing campaign, including adverts in several publications. Add your keyword so that people can immediately request your company/product information. You can then see which campaign is getting the best response and allocate your marketing budget accordingly Hosting competitions Want to set up a competition? Why not use your keyword, and login to the control panel where you can set up your competition with multiple answers. The competition can be set up to run for a specific period. Full reports on all the participants who entered can be drawn and analyzed

5 Growing your business One of the most popular uses of an SMS keyword is to allow people to request your contact details directly to their phone. More and more paper business cards now contain an extra line such as text "John contact" to 194050 (short code example). By following this simple instruction a person's contacts are saved the effort of typing the phone numbers, email address, etc., into their phone - it is all done instantly. Many people also add their keyword to their email signatures too! The contact information comes back in the form of an SMS response Connect to external applications If you have any specialized requirements SMSS is ready to assist - no need to go elsewhere to get external applications developed, all the required expertise is sitting under one roof Surveys The SMSS system can also be used to gauge market response to your product or service, or even to check that your customers are satisfied with services rendered. This is similar to a competition but since there is no correct/incorrect answer each response is stored for later retrieval by the end user. A company could make use of this service when starting new product launch and they would want to involve the public in deciding on a new name. Sales Reps Visiting your client and don’t have the brochure or information you want to give them with you? Don’t want to carry as many documents with you? Take your keyword and upload all your documents you require on a day-to-day basis. When you get to your customer, simply send an SMS with their Email Address and the document name. Then check your client’s email: the requested document will arrive immediately!
