Toronto, Ontario, Canada (PRWEB) February 21, 2012

84444, a leading provider of text message marketing solutions in the United States, has announced that it has opened a new text message marketing solution in Canada on 84444.ca.

84444.ca is a do-it-yourself text message marketing service that allows Canadian businesses and organizations to launch interactive and broadcast text message promotions from the convenience of a desktop computer. Businesses and organizations can now set up interactive text message promotions (Text RESULTS to 84444) and consumers will immediately receive a reply message from you. Once the consumer has provided a legitimate opt-in, you can now send them promotional broadcast text messages in the future.

For example, let?s say that you own a restaurant and you wish to complement your existing advertising by making it interactive through a text message marketing campaign. You would add Text PIZZA to 84444. When your customers and prospects sent the keyword (PIZZA) to the short code (84444), they would immediately receive a mobile coupon in return. Now that you have acquired a legitimate opt-in from the consumer, you can send them broadcast text messages in the future. A broadcast text message might tell them about a new special that you are doing on Monday nights which are traditionally slow nights for your business.

One of the great advantages that 84444.ca can offer is that it has reserved the short code 84444 in both the United States and Canada. This allows for easy expansion of your mobile marketing offering to both the United States and Canada. Thus, there is no need to create different advertising for each country. Moreover, since a large segment of the Canadian population lives near the American border, spillover advertising in cities like Toronto and Buffalo, Windsor and Detroit, and Vancouver and Seattle are able to utilize the same promotional short code 84444.

?If your business has customers in both Canada and the United States, being able to use the same 84444 short code is a huge advantage,? said Bob Bentz, president of Advanced Telecom Services. ?Imagine the savings in not having to re-create advertising and the added benefit you?ll get from the bordering country customers.?

Text message marketing is the most ubiquitous of all aspects of mobile marketing. In Canada, 67.4% of all mobile subscribers used text messaging in September, 2011 (ComScore). In addition, 88.1% of all smartphone users in Canada used text messaging.

84444.ca is a product of Advanced Telecom Services which has been providing interactive telephone services since 1993. Advanced Telecom Services is a One-Stop Mobile Marketing Shop offering a complete suite of mobile marketing products including apps development, mobile websites, custom QR Codes, and text message marketing.

The Mariner of St. Malo: a Chronicle of the Voyages of Jacques Cartier

According to Wikipedia: “Stephen Butler Leacock, FRSC (30 December 1869 – 28 March 1944) was a Canadian writer and economist… Early in his career, Leacock turned to fiction, humour, and short reports to supplement (and ultimately exceed) his regular income. His stories, first published in magazines in Canada and the United States and later in novel form, became extremely popular around the world. It was said in 1911 that more people had heard of Stephen Leacock than had heard of Canada. Also, between the years 1915 and 1925, Leacock was the most popular humourist in the English-speaking world. Humorists admire other humorists, and greatly admire other great humorists. So it was that Stephen Leacock, in Toronto, was delighted to read the fresh humor and wit of a young man in New York named Robert Benchley. Leacock opened correspondence with Benchley, encouraging him in his work and importuning him to compile his work into a book. Benchly did so in 1922, and acknowledged the nagging from north of the border.Near the end of his life, the American comedian Jack Benny recounted how he had been introduced to Leacock’s writing by Groucho Marx when they were both young vaudeville comedians. Benny acknowledged Leacock’s influence and, fifty years after first reading him, still considered Leacock one of his favorite comic writers. He was puzzled as to why Leacock’s work was no longer well-known in the United States. [5]During the summer months, Leacock lived at Old Brewery Bay, his summer estate in Orillia, across Lake Simcoe from where he was raised and also bordering Lake Couchiching. A working farm, Old Brewery Bay is now a museum and National Historic Site. Gossip provided by the localbarber, Jefferson Short, provided Leacock with the material which would become Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town (1912), set in the thinly-disguised Mariposa. Although he wrote learned articles and books related to his field of study, his political theory is now all but f
