Awarded Best System and Program Vendor at the 15^th Annual GEMCON Conference

BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MobileLime^®, the first company to turn the mobile phone into a marketing, loyalty and payment device, today announced that it won the Global Electronic Marketing (GEM) award for Best System and Program Vendor at the 15^th annual Global Electronic Marketing Conference (GEMCON) in Park City, Utah.

“The GEM Awards recognize excellence in electronic marketing”

“The GEM Awards recognize excellence in electronic marketing,” said Mike Gorshe of Accenture, the Chicago-based global consultancy that has sponsored the GEM Awards since 1996.

MobileLime was recognized for using mobile phone technology for marketing, loyalty and payment purposes. MobileLime’s Mobile Rewards platform enables merchants to offer customers exclusive member benefits, information-based alerts and instant savings on items store-wide through their customers’ mobile phones.

“We were very pleased to select MobileLime as a winner for its innovative Mobile Rewards platform,” said Carlene Thissen, GEMCON founder. “The unique nature of the technology rewards both consumers and retailers and is at the forefront of the industry. MobileLime enables merchants to build real-time relationships with customers and impact their buying behavior at the point-of-sale by leveraging the interactive power of the cell phone.”

MobileLime makes a merchant’s existing loyalty program work harder while improving the shopping experience for the consumer. It eliminates the need for physical loyalty cards by using a shopper’s cell phone number as a unique identifier. The cashier simply enters the customer’s cell phone number at checkout and the shopper receives instant savings towards purchases.

“We are proud to receive this recognition from such a well respected global association,” said Robert Wesley, president and CEO, MobileLime. "The GEM Award is yet another indicator that our unique relationship-based mobile promotions, rewards and payment platform, tied to the point of sale, results in increased sales for merchants and greater value for consumers.”

Winners were announced at the GEM Awards ceremony held October 10, 2006 at GEMCON in Park City, Utah.
