CLEVELAND, Ohio � Futuri Media has rolled out two new features to its custom mobile app development platform for broadcasters. The company says that �these new services are designed to increase engagement between stations and their audiences.�
The first feature, dubbed �Flash Contesting,� enables stations to send out push notifications to listeners who�ve downloaded the app telling them about prize and experience giveaways. Listeners open the app, enter their name and phone number, and it�s displayed live in the studio along with location data. Talent can create and track contests from the control room.
The second feature differentiates alerts into �Red� and �Blue� versions intended to help consumers gauge content types. Red alerts are �hot� � used to initiate immediate response and generate tune-ins for breaking news and weather alerts, according to Futuri. The Blue type is geared toward showcasing the station�s best daily content � the �cool� stuff. The company explains that it�s aim is to optimize audience traffic flow and extend app engagement.
