Text Message Coupons | The Coupon World is Reinvented!
January 27, 2009
What if you could get coupons for your favorite businesses only, and the coupons would go right to your phone? For example, maybe you like to go to Starbucks every morning. Well, what if you could call a number that would automatically sign you up to receive offers from Starbucks at the location you visited, or any location for that matter. Starbucks could send out notices for when they give away free coffee.
Or, imagine getting a text message on your phone that says, “SAVE HALF your bill, Tonight Only!” at your favorite local restaurant? Would you perhaps show up to take advantage of the promotion? I probably would if I could. And it’s a technology that is already here.
Biz Calling Cards is a company that has a unique idea when it comes to mobile marketing. They’ve intertwined free calling cards with opt in text message marketing. Basically you get sent coupons and special promotions via text message to your phone, and you choose which companies, businesses, restaurants, etc, from which to receive the offers.
You can visit thier CityScoop website by clicking the link below. They publish info about their program with examples and testimonials at the site and is run by one of their account representatives, Donna Church.
Biz Calling Cards - Text Message Marketing
It seems natural to assume that text message marketing will become a big factor in the future. As long as we all have the option to opt out of receiving the text marketing messages at any time from any company, then this will be a great new marketing option. As long as spam is kept under control, text message coupons will be a HUGE reinvention of the coupon world.
Think of how useful it will be. It’s great for client retention for business owners who want to be able to offer their existing clients incentives for being return visitors and loyal patrons of the local establishment. And you won’t need to remember to bring your coupons with you wherever you go. You can simply show your server at the restaurant, for example. Think of all the trees that we’ll save. No more penny saving pamphlets written on recycled recycling paper anymore to litter your mailbox full…
It seems that Biz Calling Cards has a jump on the fast-growing market. I expect to see more players in this field at some point, and perhaps a general acceptance of the newest coupon method, electronic coupons, nationwide. There are a ton of companies already adopting text message coupons. So - How long it will take before every where you go you get an offer to receive text message coupons? - is my question. I have a lingering suspision we will soon find out.

PDHB - Pacific Dream Home Builders | General Contractors with Integrity - San Jose, CA
January 25, 2009
By John Kitts, CityScoop Staff Writer
It seems like everywhere you look businesses claim to be experienced and fit for the job. But what “experiences” have those companies gained I must ask? What lessons of value, honesty, integrity, and trust have they gained over the years that makes their company the best suiter to earn my business?
It’s hard to tell which company is the best for the job when everyone claims they are the right company. And when it comes to construction companies and general contractors, a business relation where you might have someone in your home every day for a long period of time, you want to make sure you can trust your general contractor.
I like the message that PDHB, Pacific Dream Home Builders, stands by. The owner, Tom Sramek, is a calm, cool and collected guy who shoots straight from the hip. You get a quote for a job from Tom and he delivers exactly as he said he would the first time.
He also points out that this is not always the case. Some general contractors often go over budget and try to cut corners to save costs. Sometimes general contractos will even try to sell you on the idea that the original goal is too hard to accomplish, too costly, or impossible even, simply becuase the work cannot be completed as easily as he or she might have first quoted. This is why you need a contractor that stands by their quote and delivers as promised. This is why you need someone who’s been in the business for a long time. You need a construction company that knows what they’re doing.
PDHB has been in business since the mid 80s. You can’t find too many other companies with that kind of experience and track record. You can visit their CityScoop website for more info by clicking the link below.

Have You Heard Of A Towing Company That Can Tow A Plane - Concord, CA
January 6, 2009
By John Kitts, CityScoop Staff Writer
Have you ever heard of a towing company that can tow a plane? No joke! Serious question!
There’s a company in Concord, California that’s a professional towing company. They tow everything from broken down Beamers to commercial trucks and even planes!
I wouldn’t have believed it myself if it I didn’t see it first with my own eyes. Granted it’s just one still photo, but I can image that it must be some sort of feat to accomplish that difficult of a tow.
Exhibit A: The photo…
See what I mean. Pretty amazing.
In addition to planes of course B & D can pretty much tow anything; cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, big rigs, and even planes.
B & D Towing writes the CityScoop column Towing News & Tips in Concord, CA. You can visit their column for more info by clicking the link below:
