• 199 lorries of San Miguel will bring joy to the San Fermin festival all over Spain and send out via Bluetooth devices the exclusive song from the advertisement “First of January we must set out to win”

• SITmobile will take on the technological challenge with the control and implanting of the network of Bluetooth devices

Barcelona, 6th June, 2007.- San Miguel is launching this summer the biggest ever Bluetooth campaign to date on an international level. In honour of the San Fermin festival, 199 beer delivery lorries will go around handing out joy, as those users who cross the lorry route will receive via Bluetooth the tone of the song “First of January we must set out to win”, launched by San Miguel exclusively for tis television advertisement. SITmobile, leader in sending of messages, has designed the technological structure of the project and will be in charge of implanting and controlling the Bluetooth devices of the San Miguel delivery lorries.

Original, innovating and unique. This is how the new campaign to be launched by San Miguel on 15th June next can best be described. In honour of the San Fermin festival, 170 of its beer delivery lorries will take joy with them wherever they go.

The project consists of the installation of a network of data issue devices in the San Miguel beer delivery lorries. These devices will allow data to be sent to users of mobile telephones with Bluetooth installations, within a 35 m. Radius of the lorry. The function is simple and easy to use.  The Bluetooth device installed in the lorry will search for those mobile phones around it with the wireless function activated. As soon as the device detects one of these telephones, it will automatically send a message asking for permission to send an audio content. If the user accepts it, the song “First of January we must set out to win” will be downloaded to this phone.  In the event of the user not being interested, the download will not be send and the system will not request this again.

San Miguel and SITmobile have placed Spain at the head of this pioneer project in marketing, as this is the first time in the world that a campaign has been set up using Bluetooth technology covering such an extensive territory (all the north of Spain), using a large number of Bluetooth devices (199 lorries with the device installed in them) and generating so many impacts (over 500,000 downloads planned). As well as being an innovating marketing campaign, this system provides added value to San Miguel as it allows a new channel of communication with users on the same lines as its advertising campaign on television: San Miguel deliverers triumph wherever they go.

The advances in mobile technology allow new possibilities which SITmobile has implanted and controlled. Of these, Bluetooth is the strongest one in the field of new channels open to mobile technology.  In all its projects, SIT mobile is behind smart messages, as these prevent intrusive advertising and unwanted messages.

• SITmobile will implant and manage this innovative advertising initiative of Marc Operator, who is Vodafone official distributor.

• The idea is to extend the campaign to the rest of the group shops in Terrassa and the rest of Barcelona surroundings.

Barcelona, April, 4th, 2007. - Marc Operator, official Vodafone distributor, launches a new way of advertisement in its shops using Bluetooth technology. Their aim is to contact its potential clients through mobile phones. SITmobile, SMS leader company, will implant and manage this innovating system which has already been tested at a Vodafone shop in Sant Gaietà Street, City of Terrassa, Barcelona. If the campaign works, the project will be implemented to the rest of Marc Operator shops in Terrassa and in the province of Barcelona. The project consists in installing a network of emitting devices of data at all Vodafone shops that deal with Marc Operator distributors. These devices allow the company to send promotions to potential customers mobile phones that are within a radius of 35 mts of distance of the store. The operation is simple and easy to use. The first step consists of installing a Bluetooth device at each store. The device detects all mobile phones in the surrounding area with its wireless function activated. Once the device detects an activated mobile phone, it automatically sends a message soliciting permission to download advertising. If the user accepts, a GIF file downloads along with a self explanatory promotion animation. If the user is not interested, and does not accept, the downloading does not take place and the system never asks again. Besides being an innovative marketing campaign, it means added value to Marc Operator since the company is able to contact potential clients by promoting their in shop products via mobile phones. SITmobile is aware of the advances in mobile technology and knows how to implant and manage them. Among these solutions, Bluetooth technology is its best bet. All SITmobile projects are based in finding intelligent ways to send messages, avoiding non desired publicity.

• The City Council has placed Bluetooth devices in certain areas in order to provide tourists with relevant information sent directly to their mobile phones

If the message is accepted by the recipient the information is immediately transmitted. One of the strong points is the areas wine production information. Alella wines are known for being good wines.
