PHOENIX, AZ--(Marketwired - Aug 21, 2013) - Mobivity Holdings Corp. (
Mobivity delivers a suite of mobile marketing products targeted to local businesses as well as sports and entertainment entities that engage the audience and enhance fan interaction. The Company's mobile marketing solutions, based on its proprietary platform, enable local businesses to quickly and easily send targeted text messages to a database of its most loyal customers that have "opted-in" to receive the messages. This permits local merchants to offer unique promotions designed to increase in-store foot traffic, reduce downtime, and boost sales. Additionally, the company offers a mobile-based customer loyalty program through its innovative Stampt™ application that replaces the need for customers to carry "punch cards" in their wallets. This system electronically keeps track of purchases and rewards those customers that attain milestones. Its services help local business obtain more customers, more often.
Dennis Becker, chief executive officer of Mobivity, commented, "Mobivity's platform for local business marketing provides needed solutions in today's changing environment. Mobile usage in the U.S. continues to rapidly expand. This creates a unique opportunity for local merchants to adopt our proprietary, and affordable, technology platform to reward loyalty through Stampt™ and to quickly reach its opt-in customers via text message. Research shows that approximately 96 percent of messages are read within four minutes. We believe that our solutions provide the most effective and efficient way for local merchants to reach their most loyal customers and drive increased sales."
Mr. Becker continued, "The company recently completed a financing that provides Mobivity with a relatively debt free balance sheet, and allows for us to execute on our business plan going forward. We are moving quickly to expand our sales force on a national basis, which has recently included the hiring of key sales executives. With significant progress being made, we believe the timing is appropriate to engage Lytham Partners, who has a demonstrated track record of creating broad awareness within the national investment community for leading-edge and emerging companies. We look forward to engaging with a new and expanded universe of institutional investors going forward that will drive shareholder value in the coming years."
Robert Blum, managing partner of Lytham Partners, LLC, commented, "We believe Mobivity has a leading solution to address a growing void in today's marketplace. Local businesses are finding it harder to successfully retain customers given the glut of marketing messages bombarding those customers on a daily basis. Mobivity's mobile-based platform has proven successful in driving increased sales. We look forward to working with management to firmly establish its identity within the investment community as a leading technology solutions provider and to drive enhanced shareholder value."
