GraphicMail’s Linked Text Service Paves the Way for True Mobile Engagement
Geneva, Switzerland (PRWEB) October 31, 2013 -- While the boom in mobile technology throughout 2013 has been largely driven by applications and handset refinement, towards the end of the year there have been mentions and even substantial investments in relooking the possible benefits MMS (multimedia messaging services) could offer mobile marketers. According to Mashable.com, Chicago's Iris Mobile announced earlier this week that it received $3 million in Series a financing led by Chicago's Origin Ventures, Illinois Ventures, Hyde Park Angels and OCA Ventures, in a move to expand on its MMS capabilities.
While multimedia messages remain relevant, in communicating high quality visuals through certain handsets, their financial viability and loading time impact on mass appeal, which is of the utmost importance when engaging in mobile marketing. As a leader in the field of mobile and email marketing and with more than a decade’s worth of experience in dealing with everything from social media integration to eMarketing course writing; GraphicMail has developed and streamlined a powerful alternative to MMS.
GraphicMail’s link within text message service offers businesses a double-fold solution to mobile engagement.

These mobile sites allow marketers to host their content, deals, flash sales and mobile-ready images in a portable space, designed for mobile devices. GraphicMail clients can send out a text messages at greatly reduced costs, with short links to their hosted mobile sites.
