You’re in control every step of the way.

The Ping4 Advantage
Ping4 is the only location-based mobile marketing solution that allows you to grab the attention of potential customers with targeted messages, ads or special offers when they are nearby and ready to buy.
Unlike mobile web searches and other “local deal” services that require the user to proactively seek you out or search through random coupons, our free Ping4 app alerts consumers to your offer with an attention-getting “ping” or customized voice message as they approach one of your locations or enter any geographic area that you designate.
And you don’t have to wait for us to light up your city. Whether you are a local retailer, national chain or global brand, Ping4 is
 
As Cost-Effective as it is Powerful
Our solutions require no hardware installation, no third-party involvement, or revenue/margin sharing as with other “Deals” providers. The Ping4 sales model is based on a low annual subscription fee. Once subscribed, customers may create and broadcast as many alerts, ads or offers as they like.
This Rise of Mobile Marketing
Experts estimate that nearly 70% of all consumer purchases are last-minute “impulse” decisions based on the customer’s proximity to the goods or services being offered. While traditional local media and point of purchase advertising helps you to target customers in their homes and at the store, Internet-enabled mobile devices allow you to reach them at the most critical point in the buying cycle – when they are nearby but not yet inside your establishment.
Mobile Facts:
» Mobile web access will surpass traditional PC access by 2013 (Gartner)
» 95% of smartphone users have looked for local information. 61% call a business, 59% visit a business, and 44%    actually make a purchase (Google)
» U.S. local mobile ad spending will grow from $404 million in 2010 to $2.8 billion in 2015 (BIA/Kelsey)
» Analysts predict that 2.5 billion smartphones will be sold worldwide by 2015, and that the use of mobile Internet will    increase 50-fold
 
When Time is the Enemy, Ping4 is your Ally.
Ping4 is the first solution of its kind to enable local or national law enforcement and public safety agencies with the ability to alert citizens to a specific emergency or situation happening at the very moment and location those citizens happen to be . . . wherever they happen to be.
How It Works
The Ping4Alerts secure web interface allows you to quickly create and “broadcast” alerts to any location within your defined jurisdiction—from a 10’x10’ elevator shaft to a strip of highway to a continent or the entire globe. It’s literally as easy as drawing a box on a map!
Any Ping4 user within or entering that defined location will be notified via an attention-getting audio alert or customized voice message and “pop-up” text with links to further instructions, directions, photographs, video, whatever you need to inform and protect your citizens.
• Warn of weather, natural or other impending disasters
• Provide accident or road-repair information to avoid traffic snarls
• Protect and inform citizens during terrorist attacks or live shootings
• Use as emergency communications during catastrophic failure of other communications infrastructure
• Enlist citizens for help in finding missing persons, suspects or parties of interest
Low-cost. Invaluable Addition
  Ping4Alerts provides an additional tool in law enforcement’s critical mix of notification platforms. It is not intended as a replacement for your existing systems, rather a must-have addition for reaching our increasingly mobile and transient populations. In fact, we purposely built the Ping4Alert solution at a price point that will surprise you, and make it an easy decision for any size organization.
