Celltick taken a new step in mobile commerce

Celltick, a leading mobile commerce company, has announced the launch of its Real Time Coupon Server, which is available to Celltick’s 140 million users worldwide. The new platform allows users to incorporate mobile coupons into their marketing campaigns. Mobile coupons have become extremely popular with consumers that rely on their smartphones and tablets to shop and make purchases and Celltick believes that its new platform can help improve the traffic that businesses see from mobile consumers. The platform is likely to be a major benefit to companies that already have a strong interest and presence in the mobile commerce market.

Mobile coupon platform provides merchants with new services

The Real Time Coupon Server features a new revenue share model developed by Celltick. The new model will allow operators the opportunity to generate revenue after a purchase has been made by offering additional services and products to consumers. The platform allows merchants to create, manage, and make changes to their mobile coupon campaigns and offers detailed analytics concerning engagement in these campaigns and the activity in the mobile commerce market.

Engaging mobile consumers becoming more important

Telecommunications companies like Vodafone India have already been using the platform for their mobile coupon campaigns and Celltick suggests that these companies have seen significant success in engaging mobile consumers. Merchants are likely to see similar success as they begin to cater more to the demands of mobile consumers by providing them with services they are interested in. Mobile commerce is growing in popularity among consumers, thus the Real Time Coupon Server could be a significant benefit for merchants interested in tapping into this rapidly growing consumer base.

Consumers showing more interest in mobile commerce

As its name suggests, the Real Time Mobile Coupon Server is capable of sending mobile coupon campaigns in real time. This enables companies to maintain a high level of engagement with mobile consumers. Many consumers have shown strong interest in mobile commerce, making them more open to mobile marketing campaigns and loyalty programs that could offer them some form of benefit.

Brands are beginning to worry about whether or not it is safe to use the networks.

Though most of the world felt that last week’s social media marketing hacks that broke the “news” that McDonalds had purchased Burger King, Jeep had been acquired by Cadillac, and even “The Donald” had some surprising lyrics to share, these events were not as harmless as they initially appeared.

Many brands are now wondering if they are safe from hacks that are meant to be less than amusing.

After all, Burger King, Jeep, and Donald Trump certainly weren’t left laughing. Security analysts didn’t feel that the jokes were tremendously funny, either, as it is only a very clear sign that social media marketing is placing companies at an increased risk of having their accounts hacked. They are becoming increasingly common and their severity is rising. Many wonder whether this is threatening a massive closure of business accounts from leading brands who would prefer not to have to deal with that risk.

For social media marketing as a whole to succeed, higher security efforts may become very necessary.

According to the founder and chief executive of Deep Focus, Ian Schafer, “I think Twitter needs to step up its game in providing better security.” Schafer’s organization is a digital advertising firm. He recently informed his staff that the social networks such as Twitter as well as Facebook, Pinterest “and anyone else serious about having brands on their platform” will be required to “invest time in better understanding how brands operate day to day.”

Aside from last week’s hacks, NBC News and USA Today have also been successfully broken into over the last while. This has raised a serious concern about the password protection of social media marketing account and the ease of gaining access to them.

There have been a growing number of calls being made for increased security to social media marketing accounts, which has now risen to a deafening roar as brand giants have added their voices. These brands feel that they should be provided with an added security layer over that of a typical user, as the traditional user doesn’t face the same constant risk of a hacking threat that is experienced by companies.
