Durham
University required a solution to sell
raffle tickets at a cost of £1.50 by
text message. Textvertising already
offer a raffle service and this service
was ideal for their needs.
Melanie says "Every year we have a duck
race which is where 20,000 numbered
rubber ducks are sent down the river
between Elvet Bridge and Kings Gate in
Durham. We collect revenue from sales
and make a donation to local and
international charities".
"This year we wanted to make the event
more interactive, appeal to a younger
audience and make ticket sales as easy
and convenient as possible. We invited
Textvertising to provide the service as
each ticket is not only numbered
uniquely but contained individual
identifications. We were shown how this
prevented any problem of message
forwarding or fake tickets being
generated. We were ale to match these up
on Text Raffle Tickets sold through our
Admin panel, and overall the service was
really easy to set up and use." |

North
East Lincolnshire Council were looking
at new ways to promote tourism and also
a new way to tackle underage youngsters
drinking in the street or parks.
The "Underage" service allows passers by
to anonymously report offenders directly
to the council allowing them to tackle
the problem with co-operation from the
Police.
North East Lincolnshire Council reports
on their website:
".. Research in the past has
suggested the long summer holiday period
can see an increase in underage drinking
and that the home can provide one of the
biggest sources of booze for youngsters.
To help combat the problem the team is
asking residents make sure access to
alcohol in the homes is restricted and
that they do not provide juveniles with
access to drink.
They are also encouraging parents and
all other residents to report the sale
of alcohol to minors either by
contacting Trading Standards directly or
by using the team's new text message
hotline system.
As part of the new text message scheme
anyone can send information directly to
officers simply by texting 'underage'
then their message to 82055.
It is hoped members of the public will
use it to inform officers of underage
drinking or sales while they are taking
place, providing them with up to the
minute intelligence on where problem
hotspots are.
This will allow Trading Standards
officials to better target their patrols
and sweeps to make sure they are
visiting areas where under age drinking
is taking place on a regular basis.. "
This service was also reported by
ThisIsGrimsby.co.uk and the BBC.
