Providing the right incentive to get school-age children to tap into educational software and learning resources can be crucial. To appeal to the millions of American kids who own mobile handsets, Encore, a leading publisher of education and game software, has launched a promotion designed to get students studying with its Advantage 2008 education software. The promotion gives students access to free mobile entertainment downloads in order to customize their mobile phones.
The "After School Extravaganza" giveaway, which is being distributed in Advantage 2008 Elementary School, Middle School, High School and Math software packages, features 6 credit promo codes provided by mobile entertainment media company, PlayPhone, which can be exchanged online for today's most popular ringtones, images and mobile games. The promotion also includes free music downloads, PC games and iPod skins. To redeem promotional mobile phone and music content, consumers are directed to the Advantage promotion Web site.
Kelly Finnerty, Product Manager for Encore's Advantage software line, says the back-to-school promotions are being advertised on the software packages themselves, which can be found at both online and at brick-and-mortar retailers nationwide.
"Advantage 2008 is an industry leading grade-based and multi-subject education software solution. It is truly a complete student resource center and we are pleased that consumers are responding so well to our new product offering." notes Finnerty.
"Mobile entertainment content such as ringtones, graphics and mobile games are complementary to our education software products," she adds. "It targets a young, hip, computer- and mobile-savvy demographic. The combination of the software and fun after school extras helps get students in front of their computers, where they are able to access their free mobile content and use their Advantage education software."
