Mobivity Announces Extension of Its Partnership With the Minnesota Wild Hockey Club to Increase Mobile Fan Engagement and Loyalty

PHOENIX, AZ--(Marketwired - Sep 17, 2015) - Mobivity Holdings Corp. (OTCQB: MFON), an award-winning provider of proprietary SmartReceipt POS cloud-based SAAS marketing solutions and patented mobile marketing technologies, announced today the Minnesota Wild Hockey Club has extended its marketing partnership for an additional two years.

The renewal follows three years of success by the NHL team, using Mobivity's SMS messaging solution to build fan loyalty and participation through the mobile channel, said John Maher, vice president of Brand, Content and Communications for the Wild.

The partnership has enabled the Wild and Xcel Energy Center marketing teams to build segmented lists which allow for targeted communications and sponsor offers to be delivered directly to fans who've opted in.

"We've been pleased with how efficiently and well Mobivity's SMS technology has enabled the Wild to build fan engagement using text message marketing," said Maher. "It's a cost-effective, highly personalized messaging platform that keeps fans interested while delivering fun and value. It's been popular with our fans and we look forward to seeing it continue to grow."

The Wild marketing team has enjoyed great success in segmenting keyword calls-to-action using Mobivity so that it can distinguish where fans joined to provide personalized and relevant offers. The data enables message relevance and allows the marketing team to track response over time.

"The Minnesota Wild has been a creative and innovative user of our SMS marketing solutions for fan engagement since 2013," said Michael Falato, SVP National Sales for Mobivity. "We are grateful that the team has extended our business relationship through 2017 with this agreement."
