Philadelphia Eagles Offering Fans Assistance Via Text-Messaging
NFL team relies on qtags to power in-stadium text-alert assistance program.
Houston, TX (PRWEB) November 29, 2007 -- The NFL's Philadelphia Eagles are using a unique text-alert system powered by qtags to provide in-stadium assistance to fans at Lincoln Financial Field.
Eagles fans who need emergency help or who have a situation that requires the attention of stadium personnel can text a keyword to 78247 (q-t-a-g-s). This initial text creates a channel for private communication between the fan and stadium support staff, allowing both to communicate back and forth using a web interface and the fan's mobile phone. The keyword is communicated to fans via in-stadium signage and the Lincoln Financial Field scoreboard.
"The text alert system allows us to quickly and effectively identify problems and respond as needed -- even when the crowd is loud," says Eagles Leonard Bonacci, Director Event Services. "Our qtags-powered system enables us to communicate privately in real-time using a mode of communication most accessible for fans, the mobile phone."
The Eagles are joining a wide range of other organizations relying on text message for security/support assistance. Around the country, various police departments are using text messaging to receive tips and communicate with citizens, and a number of universities and schools have instituted text-messaging platforms for student alerts.
"The benefits are clear -- you can quickly and easily communicate with audiences as needed, in real-time, with a cost-effective platform that offers a wide range of options," says Allison Gower, president of qtags. "We can customize responses in multiple ways in order to enable information flow and timely reactions."
