Mobile ticketing & couponing

High quality SMS offers a unique opportunity to replace or enhance mobile ticketing and couponing activities.  SMS interaction can be used as a convenient, cost effective and eco-friendly alternative to traditional paper ticketing and couponing solutions.  Ticketing for events and travel are an ever-present service whilst coupon usage is increasingly being driven by online discount services.

Reliable and fast delivery: the key for SMS ticketing

High quality SMS greatly eases the distribution of tickets or coupons compared to paper-based systems, whilst specialist SMS barcode technologies can ensure that the redemption loop can be easily and cost effectively closed. Moreover, the mobile phone’s position as an always-on device carried with persons at all time, means that it can offer greater convenience and ease of use to consumers than traditional, paper-based ticketing/couponing solutions.

 

Mobile tickets and vouchers can potentially represent a significant financial value so reliability is therefore a critical factor. Similarly, travel or event ticketing relies on timely and reliable delivery. For example, if an airline is using mobile services to facilitate check-in procedures it is essential the message is delivered quickly.

A wide range of mobile ticketing & couponing use cases

SMS can be deployed as an alternative to paper coupons or tickets in a range of scenarios:

 

  • Discount couponing – The distribution of money off coupons to consumers
  • Mobile event ticketing – The replacement of traditional paper event tickets with SMS-based redeemable bar codes for concerts, movies, etc.
  • Mobile travel ticketing – The replacement of traditional paper travel tickets with SMS-based redeemable bar codes in bus and railway services
  • Check-in & boarding passes – By transmitting boarding card information to phones via SMS, airlines can reduce costs and increase customer convenience

 

Any organization involved in the creation, distribution or redemption of vouchers or tickets can benefit from integrating an SMS interaction gateway into their portfolio. From airlines looking to streamline check-in procedures to retailers looking to offer targeted, personalized coupons, high quality SMS represents an important alternative for ticketing and couponing.
