I have decided that on November 1 I will be allowing sites/companies to sponsor text messages sent through txtDrop.com at a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly rate. I wanted to post this here at Digital Point first of all, because I'm hooked on these forums. Background: Currently txtDrop.com sends over 10,000 messages every month. Over 7,800 text messages have already been sent from the site so far this month. Traffic has been growing over the past few months, and we have been getting lots of new traffic/users from our MySpace profile, which has about 8,000 friends now. If you would like further proof of the numbers I mentioned here, please email me and I will provide screen shots from our database of the actual numbers of messages sent for the past few months. Opportunity: This advertising opportunity will allow advertisers to place a short message or link at the end of all text messages sent through txtDrop.com and txtDrop's MySpace widget, which users place on their MySpace profiles. Unlike email or other online advertising, you can expect a 95% open/read rate, as messages are sent directly to cell phones, from users of our free text messaging service. Cost: Since this is the first time I am running this advertising service, I have decided to offer an introductory rate, between 2-3 cents per text message, depending upon demand. 1 full month of sponsored advertising - 10,000 text messages - $200-$300 2 weeks of sponsored advertising - 5,000 text messages - $100-$150 1 week of sponsored advertising - 2,500 text messages - $50-$75 Example Sponsored Messages: Here are some examples of what I had in mind, obviously you are free to create your own short message. #1 txtDrop is sponsored by - VerizonWireless.com! #2 Interested in free online poker? Try PokerStars.net! #3 Check out Cingular.com for hot new phones! Who's NOT Eligible: Sorry, but I'm NOT accepting advertisements from adult oriented sites or services at this time. If you wish to contact us directly please email us at info (at) txtdrop.com ^&dot&^ com.
