1.  How does the AdMobi system work?

AdMobi is a premier mobile advertising system dedicated to providing advertisers with a mobile platform to reach a wide range of cell phone users. Through AdMobi, our advertisers create their own advertisements and control when and how they reach our users. Any advertiser can start an ad campaign with one or multiple advertisements, determine how many should be dispatched to the users, and even specify the time frame the texts are released. We encourage our advertisers to provide coupon-based text messages so that users have more incentive to act on the texts. Through individual accounts, our advertisers can monitor their respective ads and see the release rates to the users of AdMobi. We respect the privacy of our users. No advertiser will see a user's specific contact information in our system. Furthermore, we understand that advertisers may not have the time to maintain their accounts as often as they would like. Therefore, as an additional service, AdMobi is able to maintain your accounts for our advertisers. We follow your instructions as to how you would like the campaign to run and obtain your final approval on all text messages before release. Another feature to our advertisers is our Alerts System. You can create your own database of numbers (kept completely separate from our AdMobi users database) to send out special and specific alerts to your own customers. Our clients can either create this database manually through their AdMobi account... or we can provide a widget for you to place within your own website. This widget allows users to sign-up for mobile text message alerts directly from your site. If you have any questions, or would like to discuss advertising pricing, please contact Martin at (585) 415-7506 or via email: martin@admobi.com.

2.  Why Should I be an AdMobi User?

Admobi users set up profiles to set parameters acceptable to them. Not only can users define what type of ads they want sent to their phone... but they can specify how many advertisements they are comfortable receiving each month. Note: Admobi is dedicated to the security and privacy of its users. Admobi protects its users and never releases its users information to its advertisers.

3.  What's the Difference Between a User and a Registered User?

By providing us with your cell phone number, you automatically become a User. Our Registered Users are those who fill out complete customized profiles, and therefore receive more customized saving discounts. They still PAY NOTHING, but gain more opportunities to take full advantage of the full AdMobi service.

4.  Can I See Other Coupons that Aren't what I Picked in My Customized Preferences?

Yes. You can view all the available coupons by catagory in the "View Coupons" section.

6.  How Do I Receive a Specific Coupon if I Haven't Gotten it on My Phone?

Text the keyword for that coupon to AdMobi's number, and we'll send it to you on the go. Or, you can find the coupon on our website under our "View Coupons" category, and send it directly to your phone.

7.  Why Should I Advertise with AdMobi?

AdMobi is a premier advertising system created with the understanding that people are constantly on the go. Therefore, you need to quickly grab their attention and hit them with something memorable. As technology has evolved, so has the need to continually explore new efficient ways of advertising. One of the best mediums to reach people today is through SMS (Short Message Service) advertising... otherwise known as text advertising. People are more and more willing to accept mobile advertising. In fact, today there are over 25 million cell phone users in the United States, of which 50% use SMS messaging, as proven by a recent 2008 study conducted by the MMA (Mobile Marketing Association). Through text advertising, your business's advertisement will be instant... targeted... and texted into the hands of interested users. Targeted advertising is where AdMobi excels! Don't miss your chance to reach thousands more consumers, instantly, with the AdMobi service.

8.  What do I have to do to be an Advertiser?

Once registered, the advertiser is brought to the advertiser's home page by clicking on the "Advertiser" link in the main menu. There the advertiser can: 1) Purchase a service under "Available Services", which enables the advertiser to send up to the purchased number of advertisements. 2) Use "Create New Item" to create and store advertisements in the "Message Library". 3) Allocate the advertisements to a specific service and schedule a time-frame for the ads to be delivered. Additionally, the advertiser can see a summary of the services that have been purchased under "My Service Purchase History", or see what advertisements have been sent out under "Message Delivery History". Additional Steps: The advertiser can also enter the alert section under "On Demand Alert Lists" (upper left) to create distribution lists, enter a message and send an alert. Prior to sending out alerts, the advertiser must have purchased an "Alert Service" which entitles the advertiser to send alerts to the number of users listed within that category. To start a new distribution list, the advertiser selects "Add New List" then clicks on the name of the distribution list to manage the ads. There the advertiser can "Add Contacts", "Send Alerts", create an "Alert List Widget" or "Delete List". In this area, the entire distribution list is shown with a check-box for each category that allows the advertiser to delete specific list entries. To send an alert click "Send Alert" in the menu, enter the text message copy, and hit "Send Message to Alert List".
