Mavericks

Hey everyone, check out the innovative ways that Mavericks, a sports and health club in Sunriver, Oregon, has been using Skoop! Very cool stuff!

Orkestra Projekt

As we developed Skoop! we had in mind a bunch of different ways we thought the service could best be used, with business-to-customer interaction on the top of the list.  And for good reason: it’s a perfect way to quickly send out valuable mobile coupons, big announcements, and time-sensitive alerts.

But our list was a long one, and as previous posts here have shown, there are tons of other creative applications for Skoop!.  We especially love when non-profits, schools, charities, and cultural organizations use our service to communicate and interact with their members and supporters.  Even more so than email, blogs, and popular social media services, Skoop! allows these organizations to directly reach those who are deeply involved with a certain cause or group.  That’s why we love Orkestra Projekt so much.

Orkestra Projekt is a highly unique and forward-thinking  group currently exploding onto the Indy music scene.  They create and perform innovative shows, often allowing audience members to interact and take part in the performances in fun ways.  Are they classical?  Jazz?  Post-modern?  Theatre?  Who knows…it’s awesome stuff!  We welcome them into the Skoop! family.  Join their campaign here or text the word ORK to 75667.*

The Indianapolis Museum of Art

With a new week comes another great announcement.  We’re proud to welcome the Indianapolis Museum of Art into the growing family of Skoop! clients.

The IMA, with its collection of over 54,000 works of art and encompassing 152 acres of gardens and grounds, is among the 10 largest encyclopedic art museums in the United States, and a leader among museums in harnessing digital technology to engage and educate art audiences.

The museum has introduced a number of initiatives to bridge the gap between visitors and art, including the recent launch of a new blog and a significant presence on Facebook, YouTube, and Flickr.  With Skoop!, it will add the power of mobile technology into this mix.

The museum will initially use Skoop! to promote its Summer Nights Film Series, a fun program in which a classic movie is screened every Friday night on the IMA’s huge outdoor amphitheater.  The program was launched this past Friday during the opening night of the 34th annual Series, which runs to August 28th.

Skoop! and “Africa Water is Life”

There’s nothing like good news to start off the weekend!  We just got word that the Africa Water is Life campaign run by Skoop!, World Hope International, and The Old Spaghetti Factory, is officially live.  See the previous post for all the details on this initiative.

The good people at WHI (along with Boost Media Entertainment) have launched a really awesome marketing promotion to get the word out, and everything looks great.

Did someone say mocha?

We took a little road trip to Scappoose, Oregon, where The Coffee Bar & Eatery is using Skoop! to promote their “Half Price Mocha Mondays”.  Mmm…Enjoy!

Mavericks loves Skoop!

Check it out everyone…this is really cool!  Mavericks at Sunriver, a world-class health and sports club in the resort community of Sunriver, Oregon, is using Skoop! to promote their brand new Flowrider™ wave-riding machine.  This is an actual indoor surfing machine, and the only one of its kind in the Northwest.  Mavericks is giving Skoop! members a free Flowrider™ pass with the purchase of a single pass, valid for select nights in April.

So go ahead, join their campaign, and pretend it’s the summer again.  And watch the clip below of their machine in action!
