MeNetwork Partners with Frontier and Wild Blue Yonder to Offer SMS Deals

me

The MeNetwork, the mobile search service built around SMS that delivers relevant deals and information for services and goods only when a user asks for them, has partnered with Wild Blue Yonder Network to give Frontier passengers an easy way to find deals in their destination cities.

The deals, which range from drinks to food and even cars, are input directly by merchants who have complete real-time control over their offers. The deals are then pooled together to create a data base for consumers. Unlike other text-based platforms, users only get relevant results when they ask for them, which means users aren’t getting spammed with irrelevant messages.

Michael “Spike” Stevens, founder of MeNetwork, is a seasoned marketing and advertising professional with 20 years of deep experience in design, technology, and user experience innovation. His frustration with the inefficiency and ineffectiveness of both traditional and digital marketing tactics were his inspiration to create MeNetwork.

A business owner or manager can create and launch a new offer in less than two minutes. Once the offers are created, they can be accessed anytime and anywhere via an SMS-enabled mobile phone.

Thanks to Chris Thonis from Fabric Media for sending us the news about The MeNetwork.
