Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) November 28, 2011

The Southern California Olympians and Paralympians has significantly boosted member involvement for its programs since using Trumpias All-In-One Multi-Channel Marketing platform, which offers mobile text, email, voice broadcast, IM and social media messaging in a single platform.

Some of the many initiatives of the organization include its Koroibos Foundation, which raises funds to provide grants for athletes who hope to compete in future Olympiads — such as London 2012 — as well as its World Fit and Ready, Set, Gold! programs, which help place speakers in elementary, middle and high schools. These youth education programs inspire and motivate students to look toward exercise, health, good nutrition and fitness as guidelines for their entire life.

The Southern California Olympians and Paralympians has been leveraging mobile text, email and Facebook to provide information about grant programs and enlist the help of US Olympian and Paralympian athletes who serve as speakers in the classroom and participants at events.

Since adopting the Trumpia platform, the organization has more quickly and efficiently gained the participation from its members in each of its various activities, programs and events.

The organization has built a significant mobile text marketing database after using its July and August email and Facebook campaigns to get people to opt-in to receive its new SMS marketing campaigns. Then, for its SMS request for speakers in mid-August, the Southern California Olympians and Paralympians received responses within 24 hours from nine people who committed their time to volunteer.

Similarly, after receiving a large donation and sending out a SMS text campaign to solicit grant applications, the organization gained 14 responses within 48 hours. And when seeking someone to present a medal at the Cycling Nationals event, the Southern California Olympians and Paralympians also used Trumpias mobile text marketing solution to quickly gain 12 responses within 24 hours.

Since using Trumpia to better engage its Facebook fans, inviting people to text its keyword, OLYMPIANS to its short code, 99000, the organization has enjoyed a 33 percent increase in Facebook Likes, a 21 percent increase in post views and an 11 percent increase in post feedback.

Fifty Southern California schools rely on our program to help ensure that students stay motivated in achieving fitness and academic excellence, said Cathy Marino, president of the Southern California Olympians and Paralympians. As a result, communicating immediately and effectively with our members is absolutely crucial. Using Trumpia as our main communication system makes a big difference, giving us a much more active way to engage our members and carry-out our mission of sponsoring Olympic hopefuls.

Added Marino, Olympians rarely look at their emails. So, it took a lot of phone calls and tons of follow-up and perhaps as long as three weeks — to obtain the results that we realized in just a few days by using the Trumpia platform.

The Southern California Olympians and Paralympians use of Trumpia illustrates how our All-In-One platform can help all types of organizations combine mobile text, email and social media messaging to involve their members and customers on a much more personal and effective level, said Derek Rhie, director of sales and support for Trumpia. Were very pleased to be able to help the organization use multi-channel communications to boost their response rates and grow their organization all in an affordable and highly impactful way.

Green Builder Media, North Americas leading media company focused on sustainable living, recently announced its plans to construct the VISION House, a green home exhibit in INNOVENTIONS located in the heart of Epcot

Vancouver, BC (PRWEB) November 29, 2011

Last month, FingerMarketing, a North Vancouver based social media and web development company launched its Bronze, Silver and Gold plans aimed at small businesses that do not have an effective social media presence.

A lot of small businesses have a Facebook page or a Twitter account that are never used, explained Alykhan Virani, FingerMarketings founder. He added, “These (Facebook or Twitter) tools were probably configured by some nephew or employee, and I am sure the owner doesnt have the time or a clue what to do or does not have the patience to get involved.

Alykhan got his idea after spending a number of months in his neighborhood, interviewing small business owners about how much they used social media. He was very disappointed at how small businesses were losing out on business due to their lack of social media involvement. He also discovered that 97% of the small business owners did not have or understand what a mobile website was and how advantageous it was to have one.

As a result he founded FingerMarketing, a company that combines social media and mobile websites in a unique and innovative way unlike anything currently offered in the market.

The company offers its clients a Bronze, Silver or Gold plan.

The BRONZE plan is the basic package. It includes a mobile website with 10 pages and a Facebook and Twitter icon that when pressed, takes the user to the business Facebook wall and Twitter feed. Clients get an ad free site, a .mobi domain, analytics, 24/7 support and a redirect script which automatically sends the user to the mobile website if browsing from a mobile phone, or to the PC website if browsing from a PC or laptop. The Bronze package is similar to what is currently being offered by a majority of the mobile website developers.

The SILVER plan contains all the features of the Bronze plan and adds an extra page on the mobile website in which to display a menu, price list or describe a service. The client also gets a Facebook fan page with i-frames. The Facebook page effectively becomes the business’ website and marketing tool. Today, Facebook is the best place to reach shoppers as of those online shoppers who engage in social media, 80% use Facebook. The fan page is a very powerful tool that can be used by the business to effectively engage with its customers.

The GOLD plan includes all the features of the Bronze and Silver plan – the mobile website and Facebook fan page – and includes another innovative feature currently unavailable anywhere else. Because many small businesses owners are either too busy or unfamiliar with how to post or what to post on their social media platforms, in this plan, FingerMarketing posts a specified number of Facebook posts and Twitter tweets per month for them.

Silver and Gold plan subscribers can also opt for a Gowalla, Yelp, Foursquare and Google Places account, which is configured and subscribed for them by FingerMarketing. This level of location based social media integration offered clearly defines the difference between FingerMarketing and other social media and mobile website developing companies.

FingerMarketing Inc is a Canadian based mobile website and social media optimization company. The CEO Alykhan Virani built his first professional Web site in 1998 and began working professionally in building Websites and SEO since 1998. He has developed and implemented web strategies from Fortune 500 Companies to small local businesses.

Market Authority, Inc (MA), the world leader on research in how people find a local business, expanded its research across the Atlantic and found similar myths about traditional media. The misconception that print yellow pages is dead is prevalent all over the industrial world, says Steve Sitton, CEO MA. While more and more people are using the Internet either from a terminal or a SmartPhone to find SMEs (small to medium size businesses), print yellow pages still remains the dominant way consumers found a business in 2011 in the U.S., the U.K. and Australia.

MA has recently added the United Kingdom and Australia to its list of countries studied and found that Internet users believe print usage has fallen precipitously. However, overall usage remains high, especially among key demographics that print advertisers covet: older household owners with higher income levels.

This information, combined with MAs one-of-a-kind sales training, delivered a powerful message to several hundred employees of Yell Group selling in the London area. This is the most effective training I have ever attended said Jason Parnwell, Marketing Executive, Yell Group.

MA has also conducted extensive research into mobile marketing and offers cutting edge sales training in this industry as well.

Market Authority provides the most effective sales support and training in the print yellow pages, mobile, and online industries. With over 230,000 interviews conducted, MA is the worlds authority on how individuals look for and find a local business.

To contact Market Authority to study your market or train your sales force, please contact Kari Simpson or Megan Hartwig, DMI at .

ABOUT THE STUDY:

Market Authority, Inc. has conducted interviews with over 230,000 consumers across the world in the last 20 months to study their technology and media habits when looking for a local business. This vast wealth of current consumer information gathered from over 275 cities makes Market Authority, Inc. the leading authority on the reality of usage in print and digital platforms. The research includes analysis of new media (search engines, online Yellow Pages, group buying sites, mobile browsing, SmartPhone ownership, mobile marketing, etc.) and traditional media (print Yellow Pages, newspapers, etc.). The results of the nationwide study continue to evolve and change as Market Authority, Inc. surveys consumers in urban, suburban and rural demographics across the globe.
