MMS marketing worked for Samsung

The first MMS marketing campaign by Samsung Mobile proved to be a success with a response rate of over 15 percent and a conversion rate of 2. The campaign, developed by Enpocket, gave Samsung Fun Club members the possibility to view a preview of the mobile game “Skipping Stone” and then then the chance to instantly download a free demo using a WAP link embedded in the message. Once respondents had trialled the free demo they could then go on to buy the full game from a dedicated WAP site. Mike Baker, President and CEO, Enpocket commented: “Conversion rates are more immediate and more dramatic when brands market to customers on the same device where mobile content is downloaded and consumed“.
