What exactly is a Ringtone?
Definition A ringtone is the tune your cell
phone plays to let you know that someoneis
calling you. Your mobile phone may be able to
hold up to twenty or more different ringtones.
You can change your ringtone so that your phone
plays your favorite songs, or customize your
phone to play different tunes for specific
callers. Types of Ringtones Monophonic
ringtones are tunes that are reproduced one note
at a time. Polyphonic ringtones are more
advanced musically. They can play several notes
at the same time, combining for example a piano
sound with drum and base. Realtone ringtones
are better than polyphonic ringtones. They can
be actual sound effects, music or voice
recordings.

What is a Ringtone Card?
A prepaid ringtone card contains a preset amount
of free ringtones or other content, like
wallpapers for your cell phone. The ringtone is
uploaded onto your cell phone from Ringcandy.com
by simply entering the PIN number and qualifying
your phone. The card allows consumers to choose
from thousands of ringtones or other content such
as wallpapers, games and other fun stuff.

Ringtone promotions are extremely versatile. They
can be placed on a plastic card delivered through
the internet, or printed directly on the product
packaging.
5
How it Works
Printed instructions direct cardholders to a
landing website.
The landing page is branded with your companys
name, logo, hyperlinks, etc. The page then
redirects them to the Ringcandy.com site to
redeem their PIN number.
Once cardholders enter their PIN number, they
can choose from thousands of ringtones or other
content such as wallpapers, games and other fun
stuff.

Landing Web Page Options
Before users receive their free ringtones, they
can be directed to a custom branded website that
allows your company to interact, educate and
upsell current customers and prospects.
Survey Website A survey is a great marketing
tool. Once the survey is completed, cardholders
are directed to the Ringcandy site to redeem
their content.
Branded Website A branded html web page can be
as simple as your companys colors and logo, or
as interactive as a flash site.
Up-Sell Offer Website An up-sell offer drives
cardholders back to your product. Up-sell offers
can be a coupon, an event invitation or a new
product launch.
Co-Branded Website Your companys identity
frames the service providers website, that way
your identity is constantly branded even as
cardholders click thru different pages within
the site.
