Our new Platinum MP-3000 has had a make-over.  Already a standout messaging device ahead of its competitors, the new Platinum MP-3000 V2 incorporates the latest developments in digital messaging.  Added to the list of features is automatic start-up, a speaker to simplify message modification, an easy-to-read LED screen, plus the unit is now wall-mountable.  While the Platinum MP-3000 streamlines and simplifies the processes of digital messaging for the end-user, the cost to our customers is still the same.

12 October 2011 - Online Advertising

Online advertising is taking front and centre stage of brand awareness, with the market set to increase by 10% per year, according to analyst firm Frost & Sullivan.  The delivery of the message, however, is changing.  Savvy brands will boost their online presence, but rather than continue with the usual banner ads, we will see a significant increase in mobile advertising owing to a wider adoption of smartphones and a strong growth in the use of tablet PCs.  Video advertising is also expected to grow rapidly, driven by an increased presence in online video streaming.  According to Phil Harpur - Frost & Sullivan's senior research manager for the Australian and New Zealand ICT market - video and mobile advertising will both see significant growth over the next five years, supported by the extra bandwidth of the NBN rollout.  The kinetic nature of message delivery offered by these platforms means that it's now more important than ever to get your call-to-action across in a fast, memorable way.  13, 1300 and 1800 Fonewords are easily recognised and recalled.  Call Jordan of Fonebox today to find out more.  1800 FONEBOX (366 326) or email jg@fonebox.com.au .

3 March 2011 - BoxFM

"I would like to thank you for our Priceline BoxFM radio.  The employees here at Priceline are grooving to the music and loving it.  One pharmacist came up to me and asked 'what have you done?'  He said the music is awesome, the best he's heard and the sound is crystal clear.  All the girls on the floor have noticed.  I will also say, I have been in my office singing my heart out too.  Great choice in music and no rubbish.  Well done.  Great to see my girls wiggling on the floor."  Bonnie Stafford, Retail Manager - Priceline Pharmacy Moe.
