Business Marketing
Business marketing, also known as business to business marketing, is how businesses partner with each other to offer one’s product or service to another business. Different from consumer marketing which markets a product or service to the masses, business marketing attempts to sell one’s product or service to another business to be used as a component of the business.
With the growth of technology, businesses are streamlining their marketing efforts and are looking outside the box in order to get their message to the masses. Qittle is employing business marketing to partner with companies who are using text messages to get the message across as well as track their marketing efforts. Businesses are looking beyond the traditional methods of marketing and, in order to stay competitive, are attempting to focus their marketing on target audiences. With Qittle, businesses can do just that by tracking specific keywords and what outlets of the media they came from.
Many businesses are partnering with Qittle in order to use its services to create an ideal business marketing plan.

Mobile Websites return a better ROI than Apps
So you are going to develop an app that reaches 4% of the Cell phone market? Great idea but why not just build a great mobile website that works on all Mobile devices and if I like it a lot I’ll put it on my Iphone desktop 
Here is a blurb from Mobile Crunch
I think it goes beyond just the direct-to-consumer billing convenience, though. You can spend your time and energy and precious development resources to build a terrific platform-specific application, only to sit in frustration as it languishes in some opaque approval process. And then you get to do it all over again on the other major platforms, increasing your development costs and complexity. Or you can spend your time and energy and precious development resources making a terrific mobile-optimized view into your existing web presence. The latter choice allows you to target and receive visits from multiple mobile devices, both current and those in the works. It also allows you to push out updates that are immediately enjoyed by all your users, without requiring them to download the updated app to their device.

If we were two trees, I would totally tree-date you
This week is probably the least practical Groupon I’ve ever seen, but it’s sweet, in time for Valentine’s Day and it involves planting trees in the name of love. They’ll plant two, side-by-side, in honor of you and your special friend.

Mobile Marketing Advertising
Advertising is a way that businesses bring their product or service to the consumer. A company spends money on various types of advertising including television, radio, newspaper, magazines and direct mail. Qittle offers a fresh way for companies to spend their advertising dollars. With text message marketing, companies have the ability to track advertising by placing a call to action in the text. Each advertising outlet uses a different keyword and that way businesses know where their advertising is working and where it is not.
Text message marketing has also allowed companies to build an opt in database of interested consumers so that they can direct their advertising toward a more focused group of people. Businesses can create campaigns around different databases of consumers, depending on what product or service they are interested in. Instead of having a generic advertisement in a newspaper, text message marketing allows the business to create a specific cost-effective advertisement directed at a certain group of people. Not to mention, the open rate for text messages is closer to 95% while email has dropped down to 2%.
With the rising costs of other forms of advertising that can never really be tracked for effectiveness, the text message is the newest and most efficient way for businesses to advertise and the company that can bring that to you is Qittle.

Mobile Marketing at Winter X Games 14 in Aspen Colorado
It was amazing to see all of the mobile marketing campaigns at the Winter X Games 14 and to see the digital crowd that was in attendance. Riding the shuttles and buses I got to experience first hand all of the people using their digital devices to connect.
KSPN the official radio station of Winter X in Aspen did an amazing job with mobile. They did several contests where listeners could text message in for chances to win prizes during the X Games. They did follow up emails to subscribers about events in town from the Kick off party to an Apres ski party in Snowmass.
Jake at KSPN selecting a SMS winner
Colorado Mountain College (CMC) did a mobile scavenger hunt at Winter X. They had 3 clues that participants had to find and text in for the next clue. They gave away a $500 gift certificate to a local ski and board shop.
Louie Vito had to throw down a major run on his last attempt to make the finals at Winter X. Of course he did and he ended up placing in the finals. Louie is now preparing to head to the Winter Olympics, good luck Louie!
South American Snow Sessions (SASS) promoted a free trip to South America in the Winter X Games Schedule.
Aspen Skiing Company put on a concert at the base of Aspen Mountain with Ghostland Observatory. It was an amazing show and everyone had a blast. SkiCO did a text message contest to give away a pair of skiis before the performance and they had great opt in from the audience. Check out this short video of the give away promotion.

Qittle X-static for O-matic
One week to rule them all. ESPN’s Winter X Games 14 comes to Aspen/Snowmass this week (January 28-31). And with a group of newly appointed Olympians, insane features on Buttermilk Mountain, a super stacked lineup of musicians and loads of swag to be given away, there is no doubt this year will be the biggest yet.
Big tricks, big parties, big prizes. Among them, Qittle(TM) is giving away two (2) O-matic snowboards. One board will be given away as part of Qittle’s Swag Friday prizes, where one winner is chosen from those who have entered into Qittle’s ”Live the Dream” contest. The ultimate winner of the “Live the Dream” contest will win a year living in Aspen/Snowmass, however there are weekly winners on each of the Swag Fridays. (For details, go to www.livethedreamaspensnowmass.com)
Qittle will also give out another O-matic board on the weekend through a text to win contest whereby people can enter by texting DREAM to 26469, standard carrier rates may apply. Stay tuned for details of where and when the winner will be announced!
Co-founded by pro snowboarders Todd Richards and Tara Dakides and engineer Jason Kanes, O-matic snowboards (www.omaticsnowboards.com) focuses on “more bang for your buck” and trying to make snowboarding fun for everyone. And it certainly seems to have worked for one of their team riders, Louie Vito (www.louievito.com).
Louie, 21, has just been named one of three U.S. riders going to the Winter Olympics in Vancouver in February, along with Shaun White and Scotty Lago. Louie is also a veteran of this past season’s Dancing with the Stars program on ABC and a pretty cool guy to boot. But before he heads to Canada…Louie will be throwing down double corks on his O-matic board this week in the X Games super pipe.
Shout out to O-matic for providing Qittle awesome boards to give away, to Louie Vito for good times in X Games and Olympics and to Aspen/Snowmass for being an Xcellent place to live, play, work and visit!
