I am selling a product for about $5 and they have to activate it with their phone. What I'd like to do is offer a free demo and then when they send an SMS to our number to activate, it will ask them "Do you agree to pay $5 for this product?" then I can bill their mobile provider. Similar to the ring tones service, or even the Red Cross donation.

How do I do this? I understand the programming, but I don't know of any service that does this.

I thought about asking for their credit card number over SMS but that seems a bit insecure. Thoughts?

Thanks HN, Nick

We sell recovery labels you put on your valuables; like your Phone, iPod, Wallet, Keys, and More. So far we have about a 75% recovery rate, which we think is pretty fantastic.

Interested in your thoughts and ideas of any low cost marketing ideas.

Just started a business www.pleasereturn.me which sells recovery labels for devices. Going well so far, we have roughly a 75% return rate but we want to grow our user base (Who doesn't?).

I am curious to where you advertise online, if there are any niche services that have worked out well for you, or if you can recommend something for our service.

Another nagging question I've had, how is advertising on Facebook compared to Google? Better or worse?

Thanks HN

We are giving labels away for free locally to try and collect data on returns and registrations. Our labels are available online for just $4.99 per sheet. Each sheet has it's own unique serial number registered to you.
