Imagine this...

...you send your people a text msg that they click to buy a ticket to your party or event. The ticket is secure, and cannot be forwarded. On top of that, the DUMBEST person you know can validate the ticket at the entrance to your event without using any external hardware!

Here is a little info about mobile ticketing from pfj.co.uk:

A report from ZDNet.com has stated that, despite the predicted recession, the mobile marketing sector will nevertheless grow during the year ahead.

The report also highlights ten predictions for 2009 which could be valuable to many companies hoping to expand in the sector in the next 12 months.

Some of the more interesting predictions are that SMS and Bluetooth marketing will grow in 2009, as email marketing takes a dive. MMS will also grow but it will remain a niche form of marketing, the report states. 

One crucial prediction for many businesses is also the prediction that mobile ticketing will increase in popularity.

"One example of a form of ticketing is the mobile airline check in being offered by British Airways," reads the report.

"This delivers the 2D barcode that is on web tickets and boarding passes, but offers the advantage of not requiring a print out. If it's safe enough for airports then it is easily safe enough for any type of event. The barcodes will have to be delivered by MMS of course."

Businesses hoping to weather the storm in 2009 will do well to maintain recruitment levels in order to ensure an influx of new thinking remains constant, to keep ahead of competition.
