Press Release:
South African swimming sensation, Ryk Neethling launched his very own mobile website. Visitors to this mobi site can expect an array of exclusive tidbits like a gym program, a competition to win a signed copy of his book “Chasing the dream” and health advice from the man himself. Mobile Marketing professionals, Yonder Media made this site for Neethling to create a portal where he could stay in touch with his fans on a day to day basis.
“I wanted a different method to keep in contact with my fans and expose them to the same opportunities that I have,” said Neethling about his thought process behind the site. This mobi site is also an imperative platform from where Neethling’s sponsors can receive excellent exposure.
Ryk Neethling.mobi will present a whole lot of new opportunities in the weeks to come. Registered users to the mobi site will be updated on exciting competitions, added content and any important news to take note of. Fans could for example stand a chance to win a weekend away with Ryk and his friends and exclusive prizes from sponsors could also be up for grabs.
Mobile as a medium is still a new concept for companies in South Africa to grasp and include as part of their marketing budget. However, companies like Shoprite, Blockbusters and Edcon have seen the possibilities and reap the benefits from their mobile approach. “Yonder Media is definitely, from what I can see, at the forefront of this new exciting era of advertising. Their ability to integrate various technologies with my mobi site, their excellent service and top-notch creative department gives them an edge in the market,” Neethling commented.
In South Africa alone there are over 40 million mobile phone users, making internet access through this medium a necessity. Mobi sites however, work on GPRS costs, meaning mobi site “surfers” pay as little as two cents (per day) for surfing WAP sites. Yonder Mobile Media wisely spent their time and resources on developing and integrating various mobile advertising solutions, and have mobilized various clients since 2002. They have been offering their services to agencies and different brands as a one-stop mobile advertising partner that understands and meets all their mobile marketing needs, and have made a difference in many an advertising campaign.
