Creative package for innovative tourism, sales and marketing professionals
"Bankgeschichten" ("Bench Stories") uses public benches as contact points. A sign with the telephone number 0844 44 33 11, plus an individual code, is affixed to the bench rest. By calling this number from your own mobile phone and using the code, you can hear anecdotes for tourists, interesting facts about an event, or news about a company and its latest products. Depending on the subject and content, the audio experience lasts up to three minutes. The call will be charged at the local rate.
This is how it works
Audiotours GmbH receives the finished sound recordings from the customer. Then we assign codes to the stories and prepare them for retrieval by mobile phone from the "Bench Stories" server. Up to approximately twenty calls can be made to the 0844 number simultaneously.
At the end of each bench story, a text message is automatically sent to the caller. This may contain information about what the caller has listened to, or relevant contact details. The content of each text message is limited to 150 characters and specified by the customer.
The (aluminium) signs with the correct codes are produced by Audiotours GmbH on the basis of the contents specified by the customer, and are then delivered to be affixed to the benches.
