BASSETERRE, St. Kitts – THE latest mobile initiative of SKNVibes has set the local corporate community abuzz, introducing the region’s first ever mobile search engine “Text it... find it”, using its popular short code 7568.
SKNVibes, in the last decade, has built a reputation for offering cutting-edge services, revolutionizing traditional business in the Federation. And, the new 7568 service, launched earlier this week (Jul. 27), is no different. It is an innovative and groundbreaking information service that brings quick responses to your mobile device on demand.
The 7568 service has been up and running for some time now, offering information on Movies, Ferry Schedule and Breaking News, but according to company Chief Financial Officer Stachio Williams, the product has evolved in order to meet its increasing demands.
“Our idea to bring more and more information to the mobile phones comes from the fact that people are becoming more mobile now and we want to stay in touch with our people and enable our people to be in touch with us as often as possible and get the information on demand as much as possible without having to necessarily log on to our website,” Williams said.
There is no need for a high-powered, high-tech mobile device in order to access this service. Once the mobile phone can send SMS text messages, a text to 7568 can provide information on demand. The service is available for both LIME and Digicel mobile users and if you have ever used a mobile phone to send a text message, you will find SKNVibes’ “Text it... find it” service incredibly easy and user-friendly.
Simply text a word describing the business or information that you want to short code 7568 and get a quick response text with a listing of all the businesses that meet your description, as well as contact details and address. You can further refine the directory search by texting a phrase of the product, service or business you wish to find and its location. To find a Supermarket in Sandy Point, simply text “supermarket in Sandy Point” to 7568 and get an instant list of supermarkets in Sandy Point and their contact information.
If you are looking for a specific business number, simply text the full name or even part of the name of the business you are looking for and within seconds the “Text it... find it’ service will supply contact details.
The service heralds the start of a new chapter in SKNVibes history and to Williams, there is every reason to celebrate.
“I’m very passionate and proud of our services.... This new service makes me feel like we are now going into a new chapter, we are turning a new page, reinforcing what we have done well over the years by now branching off into this new channel and that makes me feel positive and confident that this service is going to do very well,” Williams added.
Already, the new service has been creating much excitement across the island as many businesses have already signed up for their services to be provided in the 7568 business directory. An overwhelming response has been received and SKNVibes is returning the excitement by giving away free t-shirts and gifts to persons who collect and return at least 10 yellow promotion ‘Text it... find it” flags. Flags are erected in strategic locations all around the island, so everyone still has a chance to claim prizes.
No details of future promotions were disclosed, but SKNVibes CFO was very optimistic in the company’s vision for continued transformation of traditional services through the use of technology. It is hoped that this new service, will attract regional attention as SKNVibes has the capacity to offer mobile phone users across the region information on demand like Kittitians and Nevisians are now able to access.
SKNVibes is dominating in all areas of multi-media functions: the internet, radio and television and now “Text it... find it” promises to blaze a trail never before explored in mobile technology.
