NEW iMessenger Updates - 3/10/2010

We are pleased to announce new system updates which have been added and are now available for our clients:

SMS Text Message Notification - Clients can now receive a text message notification when a message is received for their mobile campaigns. After multiple requests from clients, you can now setup SMS text message notification on incoming messages. Access the MOBILE SETTINGS section to set this up for all mobile campaigns, or go into the ADVANCED OPTIONS for your mobile campaign to set this up on the campaign level.
Data Capture - Your mobile campaigns now have the ability to dynamically capture data from incoming text messages and save this data into the contacts manager. This means that you can now capture relevant data such as NAME, EMAIL ADDRESS, DOB, or any other data and store it in your contacts manager. This feature needs to be configured manually for your campaign so please contact your account representative to enable this feature.
Import Contacts Upgrade - When importing contacts, clients are now able to import Excel 2007 (.xlsx), Excel 2003 (.xls) and .CSV files. We've also added a status bar that displays the processed contacts as they are imported into the system.

More changes and updates are coming soon. The team here at iVision Mobile is constantly working on ways to improve our messaging technologies and features.

Will you be attending CTIA Wireless from March 23 - 25th in Las Vegas, Nevada? Call us today to schedule a face to face meeting and discuss how iVision Mobile can assist you with your mobile initiatives.

Patron Text to Vote

noreply@blogger.com (Yoav Astman) — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 22:04:00 +0000

Being a huge Lakers fan, during the last couple of home games I noticed Fox Sports West running a live Text to Vote campaign on the 59925 iVision Mobile short code! The campaign is sponsored by Patron asking viewers to text in to vote on certain questions. This is not a real-time Text to Screen, but still cool to see our short code being used during a live Lakers telecast.

DMA Recap, Site Updates & Platform Enhancements

noreply@blogger.com (Omer Samiri) — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 06:11:00 +0000

Wow, what a month! October was a busy month for the iVision Mobile crew. We attended the CTIA Wireless show in San Diego during the first week of October and then exhibited at the Annual DMA Conference in San Diego 10 days later. The DMA conference is where the nation’s top direct marketers showcase their products. These direct marketers include direct mail providers, list management and fulfillment companies, printing companies, and email marketing providers. This was a great opportunity for us to showcase our iMessenger text messaging software and highlight our private label reseller license. iVision Mobile exhibited in the Mobile Marketing HotSpot, a designated area for the nation’s leading mobile marketing providers. iVision Mobile was one of only 8 featured companies and the conference underscored and reinforced our position as one of the leading mobile marketing platforms in the marketplace. It was very rewarding to see that none of our competitors offered as robust of a software platform as us.

Check out some of the pics from the DMA show:

By now, we hope you’ve had the chance to check out our new site! If not, check it out @ www.ivisionmobile.com and let us know what you think. We would love to get your feedback.

We’ve also been hard at work making some platform enhancements for our clients. While we have already added some new features to the client portal, we still have more in the works and will update everyone as they become available.

The following enhancements have been made:

INBOX: The message inbox now features an auto-refresh capability which will display new messages as they are received in real-time. This is a great feature for users who wish to monitor incoming messages for a LIVE campaign.

TARGET LIST: We’ve added a couple of new features to the Target List section of the client portal which will provide much needed functionality when creating target lists.

First, a new advanced search tool has been added to provide ultimate flexibility when creating target lists. The advanced search option features multiple filter capabilities and is a highly sophisticated tool for segmenting and filtering contacts.
Second, we’ve added the ability to create DYNAMIC or STATIC target lists. A static list, is one which has a set start and end date and compiles results based on a set date range. A dynamic list, is one where a rule is established in the database. As more contacts fall into that list’s criteria, they will be dynamically added to the target list. An example of a dynamic list is one containing receives messages of “A”. If three months from now an “A” message is received by the system, that mobile number will automatically be added to the dynamic target list.

GATEWAY API: Some new APIs have been added to the gateway that provide account status information, additional reporting capabilities, and more. An enhanced version of the CREATE A KEYWORD API has also been added. This new version provides all the built-in functionality of the mobile campaign composer.

TEXT REMINDER SYSTEM (iTRS): We are about 99.9% finished with the new iTRS Text Reminder System. The new iTRS system features:

NEW MENU: A graphical menu has been added that is more appealing than the previous text-based menu
REMINDER TEMPLATES: Ability to create reminder templates that are made up of multiple appointment reminders scheduled for pre-determined time intervals (e.g. 1 month, 1 week, and 1 day before a scheduled appointment).
ENHANCED INBOX: Select whether to display and/or hide New, Read, and Replied incoming messages. The new inbox also features a foldering system whereby users can create inbox folders and file messages in those folders.
MESSAGE ERROR NOTIFICATION: No more guessing whether or not a message has reached the recipient. The new iTRS will now display a red error icon when an outbound message has been rejected or failed.
MANUAL OPT-IN: Users of iTRS can now search existing contacts and manually opt them into a mobile campaign. This is great when adding contacts to retention-based alerts.

REPORTS: A new mobile summary report has been added to the REPORTS section and it provides a wealth of new data for effective campaign analysis:

Sent/Received timeline graph displays a graph of messages for a set date range and keyword
Contacts Overview gives a count of incoming mobile numbers, opt-outs, average messages per user, and carrier lookups
Message Overview provides a breakdown of the different types of messages received by the system (e.g. keywords, help, stop, replies)
Sent Message Overview combines the delivery reports into one summary that shows delivered, rejected, and failed messages. Not all carriers provide delivery reports so there is also an N/A category for reports that are not available
Rejected/Failed Summary displays a summary of the reasons why messages were rejected by the carrier.

To schedule a face to face appointment with iVisionMobile, please email us at info@ivisionmobile.com with "CTIA WIRELESS MEETING" in the subject line. Someone will follow up with you to schedule the meeting.

PLATFORM UPDATES 7/7/09

support@ivisionmobile.com (iVisionMobile Support Department) — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 01:01:00 +0000

We are happy to announce a few new updates and enhancements to the iVisionMobile platform and messaging gateway. Our clients feedback is paramount to us and we are happy to add functionalities that we feel can benefit everyone across the board.

INBOX: The inbox now has a checkbox selection tool which allows clients to select and opt-out multiple phone numbers at one time. This tool is primarily used for opt-out requests from end-users that do NOT satisfy a legitimate request such as STOP, CANCEL, QUIT, UNSUBSCRIBE, or REMOVE and therefore don't initiate the automated opt-out procedure from the system. We've received a few requests to add this feature from clients who regularly send out large broadcasts and have received very positive feedback on this new feature.
DATA SCRUBBING: We now have a data scrubbing engine that permanently deletes all contacts where a sent message was REJECTED or FAILED and had a reason stating "DESTINATION PERMANENT". We have been advised by our aggregator that this is the best course of action for these types of mobile numbers as they will no longer be valid on the carrier networks.
UPGRADED RAM: A substantial increase has been made to increase the RAM on our messaging server to 24 gigabytes. This increase in RAM will directly affect messaging and processing speeds.
TEXT FOOTER: By now, you've of course noticed the footer on the end of each message stating, "Txt STOP 2 Quit, Std Msg Chrgs Apply". In an effort to reduce unintentional opt-outs, we've adjusted this footer to read: "Txt STOP 2OptOut, StdMsgChrgApply". We feel that this change will be more descriptive to the end-user and it still uses the same number of characters as the previous footer. We hope that this will deter customers from unintentionally opting out of a campaign.

That's it for now. We'll keep you in the loop as new changes and enhancements are made. If there is anything you feel would make your use of the system easier, please do not hesitate to send us a request. You may do this by submitting a support request through the Help/Support section of the user interface, or by emailing us at support@ivisionmobile.com.

CrimeStoppers launches texting option for tips

Friday, June 12, 2009 | 12:01 a.m. CDT

BY Keertana Sastry

COLUMBIA — Columbia CrimeStoppers introduced "text tipping" this week as the newest way to help police solve crimes in the community.

Bill Costello, CrimeStoppers board secretary, said he hoped the new text messaging option would engage more members of the community in helping police solve crimes.

How to text tip

Step 1: Send the tip to 59925.

Step 2: In the body of the message, type the keyword 875Tips, followed by a space, then the tip.

Step 3: Press send.

“We live in a mobile society, and people use cell phones to text more than they make phone calls," Costello said. "This is a great way to make it easy for people to send information.”

He also said that text tipping is aimed at involving youth in community safety.

“We know this type of technology appeals to a younger audience, and so we hope this will encourage them to be more active in helping solve crimes,” Costello said.

Costello said the texting option will not reveal the identity of the tipster to the police.

“Anonymity is guaranteed for all individuals submitting tips through text, just like when they call the tip hot line or leave a tip on the Web site,” Costello said.

Columbia Police Capt. Brad Nelson also emphasized "that anonymity is guaranteed."

"The tips come in on an encrypted number which I receive,” Nelson said.

CrimeStoppers was established 26 years ago and has had great success, Costello said.

“We have been effective in solving some of the most high-profiles crimes in the community,” Costello said.

“Since 1981, the tips from CrimeStoppers have led to over 1,200 arrests,” Nelson said. “Just last year alone, 99 people were arrested as a result of Crime Stoppers, which is a record for us.”

CrimeStoppers in Columbia can also be reached through its hot line at 875-8477 or the “Submit Tip” section on its Web site at 875tips.com.

UPDATES MADE ON IVISIONMOBILE PLATFORM - 4/10/09

We are happy to announce the addition of several very important updates to the iVisionMobile platform that have added increased functionality to the user interface:

1. NAV2.0

When creating new templates using Nav2.0 you will be shown a preview of the new menu that's been created. Check it out! This will make the Nav2.0 extremely easy to use as it provides a real-time display of the template you are creating.

2. Content Delivery: Our premium sms content delivery system has been modified/upgraded to account for the following carrier requirements:

AT&T - All double optin requests are now conducted by OPPC (Off Portal Purchase Control)

Verizon Wireless - Shortcodes that are provisioned for MMS can turn on the functionality to delivery content to Verizon Wireless handsets via MMS.
T-Mobile "Bill After" - While this functionality can be turned on for all carriers, it is primarily built for t-mobile which requires that the premium billable MT be sent AFTER the content is successfully downloaded from the iVisionMobile server to a handset.

3. Campaign Composer

Custom Data Merge: You can now merge custom data into your text blasts. This feature allows you to customize your outbound messages by merging data from your contacts such as "firstname" and any other relevant data fields directly into the text message being sent out.
Duplicate Campaign: We've added a "duplicate" feature which allows users to duplicate campaigns by clicking on one button. Once you've duplicated your campaign, specify a new keyword and the rest of the information is copied over, including messages, contact info, etc.

Website Widgets

noreply@blogger.com (Omer Samiri) — Sat, 07 Feb 2009 00:34:00 +0000

We've added a great new feature that allows you to instantly generate html code for a website widget that links to your mobile campaigns. This code can easily be added to a website or email newsletter and allows visitors to enter their number and opt-in to a mobile campaign.

This is a great way to build an opt-in list from customer visits to your website and will also send an immediate text message to the subscriber thanking them for joining.

A great idea is to create different keywords for different sites or email newsletters. By creating different keywords, you can see which websites are more effective for your advertising.

To access the widgets, just login to your iVisionMobile account, click on the MOBILE MESSAGING tab up top and locate the "GET WIDGET CODE" next to each of your campaigns.

SAFARI LINE-WRAPPING ISSUE & DELIVERY REPORTS

support@ivisionmobile.com (iVisionMobile Support Department) — Thu, 29 Jan 2009 18:04:00 +0000

SAFARI: Safari web-browsers have been causing ongoing issues by inserting line-breaks into text fields where they dont exist. We have resolved the problem by inserting a wrap = "soft" call into the code to resolve this issue. This will prevent messages from wrapping prematurely on the phone screen.

DELIVERY REPORTS: You can now view messaging logs of all outbound and inbound messages through your account. The outbound messages are complete with Delivery Reports indicating whether a message was successfully delivered to the handset. In the event a message failed or was rejected, there may be a reason associated with the failure or rejection. All messaging logs can now be exported via CSV.

Software Updates

support@ivisionmobile.com (iVisionMobile Support Department) — Mon, 26 Jan 2009 07:37:00 +0000

There have been numerous software updates made in the past couple of weeks. Here is an overview of the upgrades, updates, and changes made:

CLIENT ACCOUNTS: Resellers can now manage their own client accounts by using the "Client Account" button on the top menu. You can now edit your client's profile, activate/de-activate their account, and approve and manage content for your clients.

CSV IMPORTER: We have updated the importer so that it now over-writes ALL data fields for existing contacts except for the mobile number and cell carrier.

MOBILE MESSAGING: We've made quite a few adjustments and additions to the mobile platform. Here is an overview of these changes:

SIDE MENU: In an effort to simplify the side menu, we have removed a couple of the buttons and relocated those links to other areas.
- CREATE CAMPAIGN - To create a mobile campaign, click on the "Mobile Messaging" button in the top menu and locate the "Create a Campaign" text link above the new Mobile Campaigns Menu.
- LIVE Mobile Monitor - You can now easily access the mobile monitor from the Mobile Campaigns menu by clicking on the "Mobile Messaging" button in the top menu.
SINGLE OPT-IN: You can now restrict participants to only opting in ONCE for a particular mobile campaign. Enable this setting by clicking on ADVANCED OPTIONS inside the mobile campaign composer. This feature will send an alternate bounce-back message to users that are attempting to opt in to a mobile campaign to which they have already opted in.
MOBILE CAMPAIGNS MENU: We have made it easier for users with a large number of mobile campaigns to manage their keywords. The Mobile Campaigns Menu will categorize your keyword campaigns by campaign type for easier searching capabilities.
GATEWAY API: Check out our new gateway api section for easy integration into our backend gateway from any 3rd party platform. The API section is ideal for users that prefer to use their own software interfaces.
TEXT REMINDERS: The new TRS (Text Reminder System) is a standalone application that allows you to schedule alerts, payment, and appointment reminders using a simple interface. Stay tuned for more additions to this new system.

REPORTS: The REPORTS section has now been updated to include messaging logs for Received, Sent, and Premium-SMS Messages. There is also a Premium SMS Summary report which shows premium revenue generated for each keyword. We have also added a data export utility for users to download a CSV file of received and sent message logs from the platform.
