Vantage Communications Ltd. Unveils Revolutionary Stock Market Marketing, Utilizing iSIGN Technology
MEDIA ADVISORY: May 5, 2011
What: iSIGN Media (TSX-V: ISD), a leading developer of interactive proximity advertising solutions and Vancouver-based VantageWire, are introducing an innovative application of iSIGN's technology to deliver stock market quotes in real time to all Bluetooth enabled mobile devises and smartphones free of charge. iSIGN's interactive marketing solution (IMS), enables VantageWire to broadcast and interact with nearby mobile devices. Stock quotes for publicly traded companies are available to the public within ranges from 3 feet to 300 feet in proximity of VantageWire's downtown office. The result is free stock market quotes and interaction to interested parties and enables VantageWire to reach potential clients, as well as adding the potential for advertising revenue.
The public launch, taking place at VantageWires' offices at 150 – 666 Burrard Street, Vancouver will also include a Blackberry workshop to help Blackberry users become more knowledgeable of how to receive and view stock market quotes using iSIGN's mobile messaging proximity technology. The event will feature a special appearance by Canada's Olympic Gold Medalist Ashleigh McIvor, who will be available for autographs and photos. iSIGN sponsored Ashleigh for the Olympics along with Canada's major sponsor Bell Canada and is proud to be an ongoing sponsor.
Why:
- Currently, there are well over 70 million smartphone owners in North America (according to latest data from comScore).
- It is projected that over 50% of all mobile phone will be smartphones by the end of 2011.
- Based on iSIGN's historic metrics for the past 2 years in downtown Vancouver, Blackberry is the most popular choice of smartphone with a 30% market share in North America and is often the smartphone of choice for business people and traders
The surge in smartphone ownership in North America over the past few years demonstrates consumers' need to be connected at all times. Stock trading is no different than any other interaction; rather than being tied to a desktop or waiting for a call from their broker, today's investor wants to access stock quotes directly on their smartphone. Now the public, in proximity to VantageWire's office, will be able to receive free stock quotes, via iSIGN's IMS technology, which can also measure and report metrics on which stock quote is the most viewed by the public. This event is geared to launch VantageWire/iSIGN's service and to provide a tutorial to Blackberries users, allowing them to become more knowledgeable of how to use their devices more effectively and how to receive and view real-time stock market quotes.
