            <description><![CDATA[The 21st century is the age of fast-paced competitive life. In the present time, communication plays the pivotal role in the modern lives and in this regard the mobile phones play the most important role. Mobile phone is the ideal communication gadget that helps people to stay connected with their near-dear ones from any corner of the world.<br />
<br />
Scenerio happens where people says a lot of things about mobile phones.Pesonally,my moblie phone is my office,companion and it keeps me alive.I have heard people tagged their mobile phone with funny words like,<br />
\"my phone is my second wife\" <br />
\"my phone is my life\"<br />
\"can\'t do without phone\" e.t.c<br />
Because of its mobility and handy nature,its the most easiest way of communication to loved ones and business contacts.<br />
<br />
To really back up my point,a research shows that as at 2009,60.6% of the world population uses mobile phone either for personal or business purposes.A research also shows that 45% of the total number of people using mobile phone in the world used it for calls,35% for text messaging and the remaining 20% was shared for other features.<br />

            <link>http://www.bbnsms.com/blog/index.php?entryid=10016</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Someone\'s word reads: one of the biggest challenges for Human Resource executives is breaking through the fence to get in the game. In this case the fence is real. But there is an opening if one knows what game to play.<br />
<br />
Except in a few instances, most companies offer largely undifferentiated products and services;Eateries/fast food outlets prepare same delicacies,Financial institutions offer similar services,advice and investment options,Recruitment agencies offers the same mode of recruiting and retail stores offer the same merchandise. The list goes on.<br />
<br />
Because of the undifferentiated nature of their businesses,they have made branding a core element in their business strategy. In many respects, their brand strategy is their business strategy, and vice versa.<br />
<br />
A brand, simply put, is a promise to customers that a specific level of value, quality, and service will be received. Think of a brand as a covenant between a business and its customers. The promise is usually communicated through mass media advertising.<br />
Example;LG   == Life is good<br />
        MTN  == Everywhere you go<br />
        GLO  == We rule your world e.t.c<br />
<br />
When a brand promise is not kept, customers flee and go elsewhere.<br />
<br />
Have you ever thought of Branding and Marketing your company in different way to your esteem customers?<br />
With BBN SMS GATEWAY powered by BROWSER BASED NIGERIA,you stand the chance of making this a reality.Most especially,the Bulk SMS platform which allows you to send message to your numerous customers.no matter how large they are and where ever they are on this platnet,BBN SMS platform had a widest coverage,delivers speedily and cost effective compares to other source of media advertisement.<br />
<br />
Herein lies the opportunity  to get through the fence and into the game, by helping ensure that all of the large and small actions that people take every day, throughout the organization, fall in line with the brand strategy.<br />
<br />
Think BBN SMS...<br />

            <description><![CDATA[About 24 months ago,i heard the opportunity of been invited to a seminar organised by Microsoft Nigeria on the need to fight piracy of Microsoft softwares.The invitation came through an Association which i belong.Microsoft International is trying to eradicate the issue of piracy in sub saharan Africa,they saw the need to involve IT practitioner both in the Hardware and the software industry.Piracy has really digged into the polity to the extent that Softwares are been sold on the street.<br />

The seminar took place,a huge representative of IT companies was in attendance and was a success.<br />
<br />
Here i come,an attendance sheet was provided by Microsoft to register your presence at the seminar where you provide the full details of your company or your personal details.To me,its a normal thing to do to know number of participants at the seminar but,to Microsoft its a means of garthering information for a purpose.<br />
Sebsequently,any Seminar or information from Microsoft is sent directly to my phone and my email addresss.Through this means,i heard the opportunity of registering to be a partner with Microsoft.Now,i begin to reason why the Attendance and full details of companies was collected.<br />
<br />
The greatest surprise to me was when i began to receive text messages from Companies i never had any business with,marketing their products/services,invitation for a program,introducing new products,sending monthly price list e.t.c.Again,wondering where a hell is this peolple got my phone number from? My first thought was,most of these companies was present at the seminar organised by Microsoft.The details was gotten from Microsoft due to the fact that they are partnering with Microsoft.Now,using the information for their own marketing tools and means of reaching more people.<br />
<br />
With this medium,i have done business with most of these companies\"Power of technology through SMS messaging...\"<br />
<br />
BBN sms is a company to be reckon with to deliver information and marketing your business to your customers and intending customers.<br />

            <description><![CDATA[The SMS business is a business i never thought is so lucrative and useful like this ! Though,i got familiar with sending SMS through phone when i started using my then \"Motorola T20\"phone,way back..Sending personal messages,love,prayer and inspirational messages to loved ones was the reign of the moment.Even,its only few people that knows how to use this for the said purpose.<br />
<br />
Later,as i got acquinted with the internet,started coming across website site that offer free SMS to phones on the net but was more popular in the western world and the middle east.Some phone users switch over to using free internet SMS for their messages since they are not charged a dime.As this trend continue,some websites transform from free SMS to payment per SMS you sent through their site.Majority left the platform and switch over again to their phone.<br />
<br />
Why are people switching back to their phone? Access to free SMS has been denied and so far they can send a message through their phones with deduction in Airtime,no need of double payment.Again,no much satisfaction is derived from sending an SMS to loved ones,just for personal use to show affection or information.This is what runs in majority of people\'s mind and their level of thinking which am not excluded.<br />

            <description><![CDATA[Cho-cho smiled as she floated down the stairs like a swan. She was a vision of class and elegance in green. It was her 21st  birthday today and she knew she was the star of the occasion. And she was determined to celebrate in style and all without emptying her account -  Who said you couldn\'t plan a big bash and have fun without spending all your money. And her sister was helping her plan,  first she had saved her the cost of buying expensive invitation cards and long distance phone-calls by helping her invest in text messaging, thus she was able to invite all her friends both at home and abroad with virtually nothing, it was so cheap, the overall expenditure was cut down by almost 50% of what she had expected to spend on communication cost alone. Everything seemed to be going on according to plan and she was well pleased.<br />
<br />
And the bonus was that she still had lots of credits to contact her loved ones, that was a good deal, no matter what anyone told her, she thought as she smiled and brought out her phone and began to browse, since she was on line, she might as well request a balance inquiry on BBN SMS Gateway. She smiled as she saw the delivery message come in and simultaneously with her account update. This was unbelievable, totally too cool to be true.  She still had enough after her party not to go broke. Well the night promised to be interesting she thought as she went to welcome her first batch of guest  as she heard the blare of a car horn.<br />
<br />
Life was good, with BBN SMS.<br />

But of course, people will never become computers – we are naturally forgetful. And that’s why people have had to invent diaries, notebooks, calendars, alarm systems, timers, telephones, etc.<br />
<br />
I have witnessed occasions where friends quarrel themselves over issues like “you forgot my birthday – that shows you don’t even care!”, “How could you have forgotten that yesterday was my wedding?” And event managers have had complaints like “ I rented this hall for five hundred thousand naira.” I’ve spent 2.5 million naira or so on TV commercials, a hundred and fifty thousand naira printing and mailing invitation cards and I spent one to two minutes everyday on phone reminding applicants on event dates and perhaps, I have painstakingly typed and sent sms to over five thousand people from my phone”.<br />

Fortunately, bulk sms has changed the scene. With the growing increase in the number of mobile phones in circulation, numbers of mobile subscriber lines and growth of internet technology, it’s relative low cost and cost-effectiveness and the increasing number of internet and telephone users globally especially in countries like Nigeria. The short-coming of mobile devices have been discovered to be the strength of PC based messaging. In a world where speed, efficiency and result is everything, people and businesses have come to embrace sending messages from PC to mobile phones for inviting a large number of people for events (first time) and posting reminders.<br />
