Mobivity and the Bowling Proprietors' Association of America (BPAA) Strike a Partnership to Deliver Mobile Marketing to More Than 3,500 US Bowling Centers
PHOENIX, AZ, Dec 05, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) --
Mobivity Holdings Corporation (OTCQB: MFON) and the Bowling
Proprietors' Association of America (www.bpaa.com) formally announced
today a strategic relationship where the BPAA will provide Mobivity's
patented mobile marketing solutions to their 4,000 members to enable
bowling centers across the country to reach their customers on their
mobile phones with promotional marketing, incentive, and loyalty
programs. It marks the beginning of a new promotional distribution
opportunity for BPAA and its member centers.
BPAA will be integrating Mobivity's patented technology into its
existing Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system and provide
its member bowling centers with the ability to engage consumers
direct to their cell phones. The combination of BPAA's CRM solution
with Mobivity's mobile marketing technology will be promoted by both
BPAA and Mobivity as a value-added subscription service to each of
the more than 3,500 BPAA members.
"Being able to reach members of the bowling community on their mobile
phones is a major development for bowling centers across America. Our
members can now deliver more relevant and meaningful marketing
incentives directly to the mobile consumer's handset," said Bart
Burger, VP of Business Development for BPAA. "The advantages of
engaging consumers' mobile phones in addition to traditional channels
such as direct mail and email are obvious to us and Mobivity's
patented technology empowers us with this advantage like no other
solution in the industry."
With over 5,000 local advertiser locations across America already
leveraging Mobivity's patented technology, BPAA was uniquely focused
on deploying technology that could scale nationally while enabling
local business operators the autonomy of a self-contained solution.
With more than 70 million bowlers in America, BPAA also sought a
solution capable of scaling to millions of consumer engagements.
Mobivity delivered both the operational and consumer requirements
while also connecting to BPAA's CRM platform for enhanced automation
and integration with existing bowling center operations.
"We're delighted to partner with BPAA and support their progressive
initiatives to empower their member bowling centers with the latest
advancements in marketing technology," said Dennis Becker, CEO of
Mobivity. "BPAA is America's voice in the bowling industry and we
look forward to bringing bowling centers across America into the new
mobile economy."
