Kahzam, Inc. (OTCBB: KHZM) – an emerging leader in the fast-growing web-based platform developer market, targeting associations and affinity groups – has entered into an agreement to acquire Nashville-Based TeCOUP.com LLC, which provides SMS Text Coupon Messaging through patent-pending delivery services. This technology provides their clients access to the next-generation of advertising, text messaging directly to target markets’ cell phones.

“Kahzam’s comprehensive platform of next-generation online search and portal services targets the $30 billion dollar Association and Affinity Group market, which includes a strong focus on mobile-based delivery to its customers,” according to Kahzam’s President and COO J. Franklin Bradley.

“Text messages sent to hand-held mobile phones represents the next wave in technology-based advertising,” Bradley – a recognized advertising pioneer who blazed the trail for both healthcare advertising in the 80s and high-tech advertising in the 90s – noted. “Direct-to-cell-phone text-message advertising is the first new advertising medium since the creation of website-based advertising nearly two decades ago. It provides advertisers an unprecedented ability to deliver an ad message in real time to millions of carefully-targeted and receptive double-opt-in cell phone owners.

“Through an affiliate company,” Bradley explained, “we have priority access to nearly twenty million double-opt-in cell phones, providing a dynamic means of reaching laser-targeted prospects. With TeCOUP, we now have a new technology for delivering discounted coupons to these willing recipients, along with a real-time mechanism that allows them to take advantage of these coupons. By combining these innovative technologies, Kahzam immediately jumps to the forefront of SMS text-advertising platforms on the market.”

Kahzam features a fully integrated multimedia content, social networking, e-commerce and advertising suite of services that can be customized to meet an association or affinity group clients’ diverse needs. Kahzam enhances member services while generating additional revenue, all without raising dues – a critical factor in today’s tight economy. TeCOUP offers an important new dimension to Kahzam’s rich feature-mix, extending clients’ communications reach directly to their constituent’s mobile phones.

TeCOUP is a progressive marketing company that can deliver SMS text coupon savings to any cell phone. This effective, affordable, “green” advertising medium is the next generation of direct marketing, reaching people at their most accessible point, their cell phone. While businesses and consumers continue to rely on coupon savings – especially in the current economy – traditional coupon delivery media, including newspapers, magazines and printed direct mail, have become far less cost-effective.

By serving the $30 billion dollar Association/Affinity Group market, even prior to the TeCOUP acquisition, Kahzam was poised to carve out a significant share of the estimated $23 billion dollar U.S. Internet advertising market, which it shares with its clients. The TeCOUP pending acquisition greatly enhances Kahzam’s ability to provide all forms of advertising directly to its client’s consumers and constituent groups.

Kahzam is currently majority-owned by GroupMolinari, a private investment banking firm that specializes in the financial services, media and marketing industries.

About TeCOUP, Inc.

TeCOUP’s patent-pending delivery service employs “long code” technology, which is already approved for use on all 17 major US carriers. Long code technology allows any cell phone in the world equipped with SMS services to interact with TeCOUP’s database. This enables mobile consumers to enter a product or service category, or a merchant name – in 23 languages – and instantly receive any available discounts or coupons in the form of SMS text messages.

This dynamic new interactive database also allows consumers to choose their coupons, choose their preferred store location and even have the location’s GPS coordinates or map directions sent directly to their phones. Consumers can also search for a product discount at their current location – for example, “Pizza 37027” – to instantly find the best and closest deals. Once a TeCOUP coupon is downloaded to a cell phone, consumers can redeem it – not just one time, but as many times as they wish until the offer expires – simply by displaying the message on their phone at the point of purchase.
