During our recent vacation, we visited Cozumel and were very excited to visit the Mayan ruins of Tulum. It was amazing to escape back in time and allow all of us to learn a bit more about history. As we traipsed through the ruins, my daughter and I noticed something very interesting...
After being asked multiple times by my 10 year old daughter, I finally came up with the quick and very clever ) or so I thought response....It was Mayan voicemail and any message whispered into the rock would be delivered to the right Mayan. Okay, so she didn't quite buy it, but I did have her going for a brief moment as we passed rock after rock with the same slot cutout. We finally came upon one with a circle cutout, and being the clever girl she is, Chrissy quickly responded that my voicemail theory was all wrong. The rocks with the circles were Mayex...you know like Fedex. Kids these days are not only clever and very intelligent, but they are connected to technology.
And so you ask what is the point to this story....well, I think in this day and age of technology, we will have to ensure that the students of the future are well connected to their schools. We have schools currently sending voice messaging through Vontoo permission marketng software to prospects, students, alumni, and faculty. They are sending cell phone notifications and marketing season tickets. Mobile marketing will one day be more than just a new way to send communications, but rather an integral piece of the marketing mix to every opt-in marketing campaign.
p.s. The rocks with the slits were actually lights to the path that we took to the Mayan ruins of Tulum. What an experience for us all!
