Sonik Pollen is an online service for which the independent music market has been waiting, enabling artists and record labels to upload, distribute and sell their music.
It only takes a few seconds and consumers do not have to wait in a queue, speak to an operator and or be kept on hold.
Txt2 also provides Blue Planet Aquarium with a database of potential visitors enabling them to carry out proactive, targeted marketing by phone, email or text messaging.
In addition to the txt2 service, the Aquarium will be utilising further products from MPP's txt2 range.
This will include the use of the txt2win service, which enables SMS as entry to a competition.
Prizes can be anything from merchandise and tickets to family days out.
The aquarium will also be setting up a fully integrated WAP site, which will be similar to the current online portal.
Using MPP's txt2wap service customers will be able to send a text message to receive the WAP link (WAP site address) and access the WAP site in a matter of seconds through their mobile phone.
Janet Uttley, Marketing Manager at Blue Planet Aquarium, said: "We are very excited to utilise this innovative marketing solution which will help us build an even larger customer base.
"MPP have been professional and fully understood our requirements from the beginning".
Paul Johnson, Business Development Director at MPP, said: "Enabling visitors to request information and interact with the Blue Planet Aquarium anytime, anywhere, 24/7 is a powerful and cost-effective proposition; consumers always have their mobile phone to hand and within a few seconds will be able to access the additional information that is not included on most adverts".
The service works by customers responding to the Blue Planet Aquarium advert by texting FROGS to 82540.
The customer will then receive an immediate text response and further interacts with the Deep-Sea Leisure brand.
All consumer data and tracking is logged and accessible by Blue Planet Aquarium to send complimentary information to the consumer in the future.
