We often have this type of feedback from our users: “I think you are offering a brilliant tool, but… (why there’s always a but?) I don’t know how to use you yet”. Fortumo Labs launches the “What do I do with Fortumo?” series to help you to get the M Touch into your logic loops. It is no easy task to spread the creative seeds, but it’s spring, the perfect time to get yourself inspired. Check out how our dear fellas in Malaysia have done so far to demo their originality.


Case 1 – I am running a conventional retailing business, well actually I am running a Fruit Barn. What do I do with Fortumo?

Don’t be shocked? We were shocked when we saw the keyword *“Durian” at first. Yes, fortumo helps you to spread your mobile discount coupons for this tropical delicacy as well as all other types of fruit.

Case 2 – I am a HR doing routine job to handle the sick/holiday leave management. What do I do with Fortumo?

Our dearest HR has created a SMS company schedule management system. If you want/need to be away, TXT to the short code. No paper nor email is needed anymore. “Handy” is the best tool!

Case 3 – I am running a community service forum. What do I do with fortumo?

It’s Spring time(I envy Malaysia has eternal Summer)! Our good fella decided to run a Beauty Pageant on the forum. May I have your attention! Contestants please send in your non-PSed photo to participate. Get your own code to start accumulate your SMS vote.

Ideas are everywhere and we will come back to share more cool M Biz ideas. Test your ideas out right now! Remember Fortumo is a free service, so why wait? Drop us a line if you have any stories or cool ideas to share.

* Durian is prohibited in the public transportation system in some South East Asian countries… as its strong scent (or oder), depending on if you are a fan or not.
