Waterfall Debuts First Self-Service MMS


(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 06/30/14 -- Waterfall, a mobile and social marketing platform provider, today announced the release of an advanced Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) offering. The solution gives marketers and agencies a self-service user interface to instantly deliver compelling multimedia content to customers and meet today's demand for rich content and personalization.



Waterfall's SaaS platform enhances existing mobile and social marketing campaigns by seamlessly integrating SMS, MMS, Passbook, Facebook, Twitter, 2D Codes, IVR, mobile wallets, mobile coupons and push notifications. Clients can target mobile messaging according to subscriber preferences, location and demographics -- better engaging consumers with personalized content and increasing customer acquisition and retention.

"Mobile marketing can slice through the noise of other media channels, revitalize existing marketing efforts and engage consumers in new ways to increase response rates," said Sheryl Kingstone, Director, Yankee Group. "However, marketers need to focus on moving beyond simple, reactive customer response and leverage mobile insights to build stronger customer relationships through personalization -- strengthening brand loyalty and retention and lowering the cost of customer service.
