SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/06/13 -- tyntec, a mobile interaction specialist, today announced a partnership with Silicon Valley based mobile engagement platform provider, GET IT Mobile. Created by the brains behind Google Earth, GET IT offers app publishers a complete mobile engagement platform for delivering mobile apps from any online or offline marketing channel to any mobile device. tyntec's global SMS technology will be used to power GET IT's popular app engagement platform. The two companies will be showcasing these SMS capabilities at Apps World on February 7 and 8 in San Francisco.

In addition to powering initial downloads, GET IT will utilize tyntec's international SMS capabilities to re-engage users after download -- one of the biggest challenges for developers. Data from a recent study shows that 80-90 percent of downloaded apps are eventually deleted, and less than 5 percent of those respondents who download an app are actively using it 20 days after purchase. This rapid attrition rate demonstrates the importance of developers creating lasting customer engagements rather than simply targeting downloads.

GET IT's mobile engagement platform provides a single call-to-action that unifies app delivery to users across all channels -- from mobile to online, TV or print. By using tyntec, GET IT connects with users within a matter of seconds resulting in a proven increase in the conversion rate for its clients. tyntec's unique technical infrastructure enables reach to over 750 global networks with its high-quality messaging, ensuring reliable and scalable message delivery backed by Service Level Agreement (SLA) reporting.

"What initially drew us to tyntec was their decade-long experience in the SMS market," said Steve Gleitsmann, President of GET IT. "The global SMS function is the most important and complex part of our communication mix and tyntec has proven to be a reliable partner."

"The GET IT platform is solving a very real issue facing developers today, ensuring that users download and continue engaging with their apps," said Steve Liddell, CEO of tyntec. "This partnership allows us to bring the proven power of SMS to developers and their community of users on a global scale."
