But there are ways to use mobile technology in PR. For example, I appreciate how the hospital I am going to in Romania is sending me a text reminding me about the appointment I have the next day. Extending from this, I can think about linking with social media. For example, if an event is organized and broadcasted through Facebook, you can send a reminding SMS to people that confirmed the attendance.andra anastasiuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09558752773828340448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4998825774317657109.post-3210316574875649832010-04-22T05:39:00.815-07:002010-04-22T05:39:00.815-07:00Using mobiles technology in PR will have a great e...Using mobiles technology in PR will have a great effect since it can cover huge population in reaching the target. However, based on my experience some peope are bored with getting too many messages (spam)every day through diffrent channels, so once the recieve a message even without reading it - they delete it. In addition, in some countries as in Afghanistan where people do not have access to the internet, will not be covered, so how can those pople be reached is a question for me.Najibinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4998825774317657109.post-72762690610428551252010-04-21T06:46:41.799-07:002010-04-21T06:46:41.799-07:00I previously had not been aware of the importance ...I previously had not been aware of the importance of Mobile technology in PR however after reading your blog and hearing your presentation I am certainly convinced that it allows a greater level of contact with consumers. I do however question whether those without the use of internet on their mobile phone will be neglected? How will they be targeted?Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06234597081874533749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4998825774317657109.post-9938095330084273772010-04-20T03:08:38.507-07:002010-04-20T03:08:38.507-07:00The problem with mobile phones campaigns is target...The problem with mobile phones campaigns is targeting. Currently we receive spam SMS. I receive such spam from cigarette companies as they are not allowed to advertise on TV in Romania. I am not even a smoker so I am very bothered by the thing. Companies get lists from each other, pay a lot of money and do not reach targets. Making sure you send info via mobile phones to the right people is crucial in my opinion in such campaigns.Raluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06503238705060713763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4998825774317657109.post-61142398007939817152010-04-19T07:45:16.216-07:002010-04-19T07:45:16.216-07:00The use of mobile technologies in PR campaigns was...The use of mobile technologies in PR campaigns was quite a mystery to me but your presentation last week made a good case for how useful they could be to the industry. I agree with your point that to communicate this way does cross a boundary though that I don't think the UK public are very used to yet. The campaign you spoke about setting up in Namibia was really interesting though. Why do you think this way of communicating is much more accepted there?<br />Since people are now used to having mobile phones and using them predominantly for private matters I think it might be much more of a struggle here to start campaigns centered on mobile phone communication. However, I think there is potential to start using this technology for actions such as mobile phone donating to charities. Perhaps more general campaign actions could then be built upon from there...emsmihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17536536224796016375noreply@blogger.com
