The magazine has tied up with Mauj Mobile which wil modify content for mobile consumption and also help distribute it through various mobile operators in India. Please note that FHM as of now does not plan to launch a mobile version instead it plans to distribute content like images, wallpapers and mobile calendars on the mobile portals of various telecom operators and also on Mauj Mobile site i.e. Wap.Mauj.com.  Eventually a wap portal will also be created. They also plan to make available short form mobile videos.

Mauj has been in the news earlier for powering Radio city’s mobile presence and its seems with so many users on the mobile front more and more media companies be it TV, radio or print would want to be present on the smallest screen.

Ibibo’s entertainment contest strategy

Ibibo has been running contests since its inception and they have been very smart about the choice of contests as well. They have been tying up with relevant partners and then executing these contests well. Infact some of the contest look completely branded initiatives and all of them revolve around entertainment.

A look at Ibibo’s Contests:

ibibo

iVideostar - This is about Dancing videos and has roped in well known choreographer Bosco and Ceasar.

iFresh Face - Partered with Elite Modelling agency - This ensures that ibibo has a constant flow of good looking women posting their pictures. Which inturn attract the men to go and sign up.

SingUrDil - This seems to be a sponsored contest by Cornetto from Walls. Its again around entertainment that is singing.

iFashion Photographer - Partnered with FTV - Again fashion photographers would end up clicking pictures of models and most of them have to be good looking in short more eye candy pictures on ibibo.

All in all Ibibo is focussing on being a talent showcase platform via these contests and has a strong focus on entertainment. It also means that media creation i.e. pictures, videos etc are of an high quality and people rate, vote and promote more than they interact. Also guys and girls who participate in such contests work on spreading the word of mouth themselves with hope of winning the contest.
