Press release: "Moblee - revolutionary text messaging service which matches business offers with local consumer demand"

It's the age-old problem for small businesses - struggle to cope with demand during peak periods and then face hours with no, or little trade. This is of particular frustration to restaurants, pubs and retail outlets, where the majority of turnover is achieved at weekends.

Attempts to raise custom at quiet periods and ensure a more steady income can prove problematic. How do you touch your potential customers to make them aware of the great offers you have? Window advertising will only attract the observant passer by, and leaflet handouts usually make their way promptly to the nearest dustbin. Now, thanks to Moblee, there is hope.

Moblee has been created by Kerry Williams, who has identified the enormous potential behind a service which allowed businesses to directly target consumers with an interest in their product, by use of text message. Where Moblee differs from traditional advertising, is that both businesses and consumers subscribe to form a mutually beneficial information service.

So, for example, a couple who have expressed their desire to be informed of restaurant offers in their local area, would be delighted to receive a text message on a Tuesday afternoon informing them of a special offer at their local Italian that night.

It is Moblee's ability to enable businesses and customers to interact with up to the minute and local offers which is the key to it's success. Kerry enlisted the help of his brother, Craig, who runs a web design company to help him turn the promising concept into viable reality.

"We hope that one day, Moblee becomes the method of communication between businesses and customers." Craig says "Instead of holding their own mailing lists, with the cost that it entails, businesses can tap into ours when needed and send out targeted messages in a cost effective manner."

Moblee can ensure that the impact of texts will not diminish over time by carefully controlling the messages sent to each individual subscriber. This will enable customers to stay subscribed for longer, and ensure that only genuine texts of interest are sent, once again benefiting customer and business alike.

Subscribers can choose to receive offers from numerous areas of interest, from eating out to travel, or shopping. By registering online, at www.moblee.co.uk, consumers are able to request both areas of interest, and their locality, in order to receive offers which are both local, and of real benefit to them.

By using Moblee's "offer maker", businesses are restricted to making actual offers rather than sending out mass produced advertisements.

The service is now live, with the number of subscribers rapidly increasing. "We'd like to see the day when customers say to businesses "Are you on Moblee?" adds Craig. With the interest displayed thus far by consumer and business alike, there is no reason why this objective will not become a reality.
