Bluetooth Proximity is a revolutionary technology focused on the delivery of content to Bluetooth enabled devices that allows top brands proximity marketing capabilities. The platform delivers advertising and information content to mobile and PDA devices instantly with zero transmission costs to both the sender and receiver, creating a fixed cost solution for OPMG clients. By managing the Bluetooth Proximity broadcaster through a secured web-based application, the platform allows for information delivery with minimal operator intervention. Advertisers now have the ability to send simple text messages, coupons, ring tones or calendar reminders directly to the consumer via Bluetooth.

In addition, OPMG acquired a web-based SMS portal to expand the company's current SMS capabilities. The asset purchase provides OPMG with an easy to use web based interface for SMS text messaging that can either transmit to a single mobile device or a group of mobile devices. Clients that utilize this new platform will have an integrated User Contact Database and the ability to easily import new users to the database. H2O PM, Inc.'s SMS portal enables a User Credit System, allowing for Point of Sale Purchases via debiting credits from either the User's account or via Credit Card billing.
