Mobile competitions

There are a multitude of possibilities for mobile competitions and Qanawat is able to handle the entire process from concept to execution.

One such example was the case of Fine Hygienic Paper FZE. Qanawat ran an ‘SMS To Win’ campaign whereby the UAE company distributed flyers containing a question, along with their product. Their customers sending the correct answer via SMS to a shortcode were entered into a draw to win free gifts. Qanawat planned and hosted the campaign, including the development of the draw interface.

Mobile quizzes

Quizzes are popular in the Middle East and allow for subscriber interaction.

As an example, Qanawat provided UAE mobile operator Etisalat with an SMS competition during the holy month of Ramadan. Customers who subscribed to the competition received a daily quiz via SMS. Participating subscribers received a free Islamic ring tone. Those who answered correctly were entered into a draw to win daily prizes worth AED 5,000.
