UpSNAP Brings Bible Quotes to Mobile Devices
Mobile search provider partners with Contemporary Christian Music Magazine to reach growing market for religious content
Davidson, NC (PRWEB) April 27, 2006 -- UpSNAP, Inc. (OTC UPSN:OB), the premier provider of free mobile search and live mobile audio entertainment, today announced the launch of a new service that delivers Bible quotes to consumers’ mobile devices. UpSNAP is partnering with Contemporary Christian Music Magazine (CCM) to offer the service, which allows people to receive Bible quotes on their mobile phones by text messaging a Bible verse (example: John 3:15) to UpSNAP’s shortcode 27627 (2SNAP).
The Bible quotes service is part of UpSNAP’s text and streaming audio content catalog that includes Free 411 and streaming podcasts, and is free to all mobile users (carrier charges may apply)
“Text messaging has exploded in recent years and represents a huge opportunity for brands to expand their message.” said UpSNAP CEO Tony Philipp. “CCM obviously recognizes that text messaging is heavily used by its audience, and views it as a way to deliver content that is of great interest to them in their day to day lives.”
“Our audience represents a younger demographic who is active in text messaging,” noted Jay Swartzendruber, Editor of CCM Magazine (a division of Salem Publishing). “Adding a text messaging solution to our service opens up a new channel for us to communicate with them.”
Driven by their mobile search technology, the Bible quotes service is just one of many text messaging and audio services that UpSNAP offers. Additionally, UpSNAP creates customized mobile search and messaging solutions using a brand’s own content. UpSNAP’s content can be both in text or audio formats and can reach a potential audience of over 200M mobile device users in the U.S.
