London, U.K (PRWEB) September 22, 2004 ---BuyMeaBeer.com the SMS drink voucher service to launch in London-based Corney & Barrow Wine Bars
-----Begins----
BuyMeaBeer.com http://www.buymeabeer.com the SMS drinks voucher service launches in London-based Corney & Barrow Wine Bars this week.
The mobile driven service that allows people to buy family, friends and/or colleagues a beer via their mobile phone with SMS messaging, will be launching exclusively in Corney & Barrow Wine Bars http://www.corney-barrow.co.uk on Thursday, 23 September 2004.
The service developed by mobile specialists Eagle Eye Technology http://www.eagleeyetechnology.com works in three simple steps; users choose a drink from the selection of items by logging onto the BuyMeaBeer.com website at http://www.buymeabeer.com, they send the voucher by entering the recipients mobile number (with a personal message) and then they pay with their credit card.
The users voucher is then sent via SMS to the recipient and, when received, they simply show their mobile phone and the message they received with their unique code at the bar; in order to collect their drink from a member of the Corney & Barrow bar staff. Corney & Barrow processes the code immediately as a live transaction. This is as quick, if not quicker, than using a credit card.
BuyMeaBeer.com is a joint venture between Eagle Eye Technology http://www.eagleeyetechnology.com, Positive Thinking http://www.positive-thinking.co.uk and Text Gateway http://www.textgateway.com.
Ed Gardner Marketing and Purchasing Director at Corney & Barrow comments, What separates the BuyMeaBeer.com service from other SMS drinks promotions is the unique, personal touch. The message received on a friends or colleagues phone is clearly a thank you direct from someone they know, and not an anonymous automated bulk send message from a mobile mailing list."
Stephen Rothwell, Director at Eagle Eye Technology explains, You know the way it is. Youre grateful to a friend or colleague for helping you out -- moving house, mending the car, meeting a deadline -- you offer your thanks and they throw out that eternal line: 'Just buy me a beer! But then, somehow, you never quite get round to it.
Maybe you missed that special day, like a birthday, an anniversary, or never found the time to settle that friendly bet on the big match! Well now theres no excuse with Buymeabeer.com."
BuyMeaBeer.coms service means that you dont have to be in the same bar, town, city or even country to buy that thank you drink. This new service is the latest development in mobile commerce and uses existing technology in a simple, but personal way. It allows you to order and pay for a drink from your computer and delivers it by way of a simple text message with details of the gift, to your grateful friend or colleague, who can redeem the drink at any Corney & Barrow Wine Bar.", adds Rothwell.
BuyMeaBeer.com http://www.buymeabeer.com will launch exclusively at Corney & Barrow, Broadgate Circle, EC2 (Map: http://tinyurl.com/3pyey) on 23 September 2004 and will then run in all 11 Corney & Barrow Wine Bars across London, United Kingdom.
If journalists would like to attend the launch and experience the service (collect your free drinks) - send your name, job title and mobile number to buymeabeer@elementalpr.co.uk.
