| Camera-equipped mobile phones have now entered the mainstream, making photo & video messaging a viable channel for creating interactivity between you and your target market. Utilising MCP technology, Yospace offer a Promo Blogging service that empowers mobile operators and marketeers alike to rapidly create promotional web sites fuelled by MMS photo & video messaging. |
| Stimulating Customer Interaction with Photo & Video Messaging |

Enhance marketing campaigns by creating a forum into which your customers can post captioned photos or videos using their camera-phone. The service is ideal for promoting a product or event; or simply stimulating the use of picture or video messaging on your network. You can operate competitions or forums in which customers vote for their favourite photo or video, and of course, compete themselves by submitting their own entries. Whether you're running a competition for the funniest, biggest, sexiest or strangest video clip or photo; or you're simply creating a lively community site for the promotion of your product or event, the Promotional Blogging service is bound to be a big hit.
The Yospace MCP Promotional Blogging service is a fully outsourced solution; it takes away all of the technical headaches and lets you get on with what most needs your undivided attention: the actual promotion. Yospace will take care of the branding and customisation to your specification, or will propose a design if you would prefer. A complete end-to-end service is offered that means that you will be up-and-running with a fully functioning promotional blog site quicker than you ever imagined. |

The nature of clubs and dance music has always been about users at the centre of what's going on, participating and contributing to the scene. User-generated content such as video and images place our user at the centre of the web and mobile business and Yospace helps us to achieve this."

 |
The O2 Mobile Model Search 2005 in association with Nokia and Premier Model Management was one of the UK’s biggest ever model searches. It’s no surprise that the Yospace Promotional Blogging Service was chosen to host the portal that makes it possible for anyone in the UK to submit a picture of themselves via MMS for review by visitors to the O2 portal. Twelve finalists are chosen and invited to London Fashion Week to take part in a selection day, involving a catwalk show and assessment by a panel of expert judges.
Throughout the promotion over 11,000 MMS entries were submitted with over 1,000,000 Web page impressions, and over 570,000 WAP page impressions.
