ChaCha Offers Rich SMS Advertising

ChaCha today is now offering a Rich SMS Advertising solution. Through initial campaigns with Coca-Cola, McDonald's and others, ChaCha delivers response rates of more than five percent, a dramatic improvement over other mobile advertising solutions like SMS alerts and WAP banners.

ChaCha's Rich SMS Advertising solution enables brand marketers to implement targeted, interactive advertising campaigns on mobile devices. With more than 1.7 million customers -- 85 percent of whom are in the coveted under 25 demographic and nearly 50 million text and voice queries since the launch of its mobile answers service in January -- ChaCha is uniquely positioned to benefit brands by engaging consumers with interactive mobile ads that drive brand awareness, generate leads and increase sales.
Via call-through or click-through, brands can leverage Rich SMS Advertising to drive users online, to 800 numbers or to in-store destinations. Additionally, brands can easily tailor ads and target consumers by the specific category of each ChaCha question (for example, by sports, music or politics), by location, time of day or customer profile (a bargain shopper or frequent traveler for instance). ChaCha can now serve over 28 million impressions per month, growing at 70 percent month over month.

In January 2008, ChaCha launched its free mobile answers service that uses human Guides to find answers to consumers' questions 24/7 on virtually any mobile device, and is the fastest growing SMS mobile search service, surpassing both Google and Yahoo in text-based search growth rates, according to Nielsen statistics for Q2 2008. In fact, ChaCha is so viral, every five seconds a new user tries the service. ChaCha customers can send any question via SMS (242242) or voice (1-800-224-2242) and receive an answer back via a simple text message in real-time with no additional effort or cost. Guides utilize powerful tools to quickly return a succinct, relevant and useful answer in a text message in real-time.
