It allows advertisers to reach out to the right customers on a social-networking site. When customers type in the brand's URL on their mobile web browser, it subscribes them to the brand, and the custodian of the brand can then push rich media notifications to them based on their location.
Fully integrated campaigns can also be targeted to customers at specific locations. All data on the campaign's delivery and usage is also available to brands and advertisers.
Services the platform provides include mobile coupons, paperless loyalty programmes, contests and surveys. Cache-Cache, a women's fashion brand under the Beaumanoir Group, is one of its clients in Indonesia.
The platform is compatible with all smartphone platforms (Android, Blackberry, iOS and Windows). It also empowers the audience to directly and immediately start interacting with the brand, Kallol Borah, director for Lukup Media, said.
