Istanbul/ Duesseldorf, April 15, 2004
With Channel D and ShowTV, wapme group wins the two biggest TV stations of
Turkey as their exclusive customers. A volume of 20 million SMS is part of the
agreement by the end of June 2004.
Wapme group provide the series of “Pop Idol/Turkstar”, comparable with “Germany
searches the Superstar” on Channel D, and the new “Popstar” series on Show TV,
with SMS and IVR (Interactive Voice Response) services. The broadcasts have
already met the expected targets with their first transmissions and belong to
the most popular broadcasting structures in Turkey with the highest viewing
figures.
Part of the contract is an advance financing of the expected profits by the
wapme group, connected with a wide-ranging insurance of the investment by the
two stations, as well as a guarantee of the revenue. It is the target, within
the two series, to produce at least a volume of altogether 20 million SMS. Wapme
expect a revenue of about EUR 500,000 from the current series. The TV stations
guarantee a marketing of the services.
If the targeted volumes are not achieved wapme is entitled to independently
provide all own structures of the two TV stations with SMS services until the
end of the year. This will insure the investment.
The services of the Wapme group are not limited to the simple voting during and
after the transmissions but are a combination of all mobile services having
already stood the test in Germany and England. Thus, the wapme group underline
their claim to become Europe’s leading Wireless Application Provider.
Wapme is the only foreign enterprise in Turkey, which offers SMS and IVR
services.
With Turkcell, Aria and Telsim, the wapme group has succeeded in the provider
environment as well as won cooperation partners. The completely missing market
for IVR services in Turkey via the fixed network will express a higher
importance of the contracts concluded than the comparable and already completed
projects by the wapme group.
