What is Snipp?
Snipp mobilizes marketing. We help companies and organizations add powerful mobile
interaction to any visual marketing or information campaign like print advertising,
billboards, editorial text, package information, etc. This transforms traditional
marketing and information campaigns into rich, instant, targeted communication with
customers — supporting tactics to drive sales and accurately measure corresponding
ROI.
What is a Snipp code?
The Snipp code is a ‘keyword’ selected by the advertiser that is associated with
an item. For example, the Snipp code ‘NOKIA’ might be used when advertising phones.
When you see an item you are interested in (an ad in a magazine, a product in a
catalog, a classified ad in a newspaper) and want more information, look for the
Snipp code at the bottom of the page. The Snipp code is usually right next to the
Snipp logo , so when you see the logo you know you can Snipp the item.
Does Snipp cost anything?
All Snipp text messages sent and received by you will incur standard SMS charges
according to your specific wireless plan. There are no other charges that apply
other than the cost of sending and receiving text messages. If you think you are
going to Snipp a lot of stuff, we recommend adding a mobile plan that includes a
package of text messages
