Free trial of voice message broadcasting
Government agencies, local authorities, emergency services, enterprises and sports clubs can measure the immediate impact of voice message broadcasting on their operations.
The technology is now a must-have generator of revenue streams for many Premiership and Championship clubs including Blackburn Rovers, Manchester City, Middlesbrough, Aston Villa, Newcastle, Coventry and Stoke City.
All that clubs need do to benefit from Relay Station's technology is record a message from the manager or player on an MP3, copy the telephone numbers of fans from a database to a spreadsheet, and send both to Relay Station with instructions on when to broadcast.
The personalised message is sent to the mobiles or landlines of all fans simultaneously (or spread out over a number of hours to avoid overloading ticket office staff) and they have the option to opt out from future broadcasts in the unlikely event they do not wish to receive personalised messages from their club.
"We need as many fans as possible to get firmly behind the team as they truly do make a difference to the team's performance," said Antony Clark, Wigan's sales director.
"Relay Station's voice broadcasting technology is one of the fastest and most effective methods of getting that message out to the fans".
