Trivia Contests

Fans at a game see and hear a branded scoreboard message instructing them to participate via SMS in a trivia contest (team trivia, event trivia, etc.).

Possible trivia formats include:

First fan to successfully send in the correct answer to a non-multiple-choice question wins a prize.
Each fan to answer a multiple-choice question correctly (by texting in the letter corresponding to the correct answer) in the time allotted wins a prize.

The correct answer is announced in a branded scoreboard display at the end of the contest.

Each fan that submits an answer receives an instant branded text message reply on their phone. This message can contain custom sponsor communications including useful product information, coupons, announcements, web addresses, and/or instructions explaining how to opt-in via text message for future mobile updates and offers from the sponsor.

Each winning fan receives a second branded text message reply at the end of the contest rewarding them with a special winning coupon or other redeemable prize offer.

Common Short Codes

CSCs are short numeric codes (5- or 6-digits) to which text messages can be sent from a mobile phone. FanChatter can help a team lease a custom vanity CSC to tap the considerable potential of the mobile market with targeted campaigns and applications. Leasing keywords on a shared CSC is also supported.

General Requirements

A large video screen display and/or LED signage
A computer with a high-speed internet connection
A way of transferring files and/or information from that computer to the computer controlling the big screen display (if they are different).
A person assigned to monitor and process the submissions and/or photos for display. FanChatter will train team personnel for this role or provide FanChatter personnel at an additional expense.
For all SMS features, a Common Short Code is highly recommended but not required.
