Wynsors Offers Free Poncho with Welly Purchases

(PRWEB) June 17, 2009

Wynsors, the footwear specialist, is offering a free poncho with any purchase of wellies for this year's music festival season. This poncho can be used - not only to keep dry in the rain - but also to enter a competition on the Wynsors website to win ?50 worth of vouchers to spend on iTunes.

The free, disposal poncho is available with any purchase of a pair of festival wellingtons (http://www.wynsors.com/festival-footwear-festival-wellingtons-c-1032_1033.html ) while stocks last and is perfect for festival revellers who may get caught in adverse weather conditions.

On top of this promotion, anyone who receives a free poncho is invited to send in a photo of themselves wearing the garment. Poncho wearers are encouraged to photograph themselves in interesting, funny or unusual places to stand out from the crowd and to put them in with a chance of winning a ?50 iTunes voucher.

Entries for the competition close on 13 September 2009 - the last day of the Isle of Wight Bestival, which this year sees the likes of Kraftwerk, Elbow, Bjorn Again and Fight Like Apes performing.

Wynsors' festival wellies (http://www.wynsors.com/page.html?id=22 ) come in a number of different styles and sizes. While men only have the traditional black and green styles to choose from, women have a much greater choice. The range for ladies includes standard colours, metallic silver and gold, as well as a collection of fashion wellies (http://www.wynsors.com/festival-footwear-c-1032.html ) with various patterns including flowers and love hearts.

In addition to wellies, Wynsors has a complete range of other festival footwear (http://www.wynsors.com/page.html?id=28 ). Walking boots - perfect for trekking through the muddy conditions most notably seen at Glastonbury as well as other festivals - are available. Wynsors also has a variety of flip flops, canvas shoes and trainers for the good weather.

The disposable festival poncho is also available for shoppers who are not in the market for a new pair of wellies, in the bags and accessories section of the site.

Customer Dish Launches Free SMS Survey and Marketing Plan

Riverside, CA (PRWEB) July 21, 2011

In the same way analytics has come alongside search engine marketing to enable ad targeting and yield increased marketing ROI and improved user experience, Customer Dish has come alongside text marketing to provide analytics for offline, mobile customers.

With the introduction of a free plan Customer Dish is creating a mutually beneficial onramp process for small and medium sized restaurants and retailers as well as universities, churches, and hotels. The Starter plan includes a monthly allotment of text message credits for all of the Customer Dish modules. Clients will be able to receive customer feedback via the comments engine, conduct custom SMS surveys, build a subscribers list, and send bulk text messages to subscribers. All for free. By allowing this hands-on investigation of the product Customer Dish gives clients confidence they are selecting the right tool for their business. Whether they continue to use the Starter plan or mature their campaigns into one of several paid subscription options, the merchant experiences full transparency and clarity of choice.

With the ever increasing popularity of messaging there is an obvious opportunity for customer facing businesses to engage their audience via text messages. As a result, services have emerged that allow merchants to send bulk SMS messages to lists of subscribers they collect. These tools provide little or no ability for the merchant to segment their subscribers based on demographics or context in order to better target their mobile marketing initiatives and budget. By offering free access to the entire suite of Customer Dish tools merchants are able to see how gaining context about a subscriber feeds into more targeted, effective mobile marketing and messaging.

More specifically, each customer comment, interactive survey, or outbound message response is populated with key demographic data and can be viewed, searched, forwarded, exported, or tagged. Any portion of this context about a customer can be used when segmenting the merchant?s subscriber list to target marketing and news campaigns. For example, on a slow Tuesday a restaurateur could send a last minute appetizer coupon to only those subscribers who have been in during happy hour, within the last month, are in nearby zip codes, and mentioned enjoying the spring rolls. Every bit of this can now be tried and tested for free, by anyone.

ABOUT Customer Dish:

Customer Dish is a SAAS tool that allows merchants to receive a real time view of how their customers are experiencing their brand. The tool is powered by a comment engine, custom surveys, and a mobile marketing module. Whether shopping for a new pair of shoes, enjoying lunch with a friend, or entering their hotel room on the first day of their dream vacation, Customer Dish provides a way to instantly know where a merchant is exceeding a customer?s expectations and where improvements can be made. Customers engage the process via text message. Text message is a widely used and comfortable way for customers to quickly comment and provide valuable survey responses. The real-time nature of text messaging also allows the merchant to address any issues promptly so customers always leave happy. Drawing from these customer interactions, the merchant is able to then use the mobile marketing module to send news and promotions directly to carefully segmented groups of loyal customers.
