Other Services

Cellfind (PTY) Ltd and the Mobile Services Company are subsidiaries of Blue Label Telecoms and we are therefore able to extend their service offerings to our customers.  These include Media and Mobile services.

Media Services

Blue Label Telecoms distributes 80-million bulk airtime recharge vouchers monthly to LSM 1-6 consumers, on behalf of operators such as Vodacom, MTN, Cell C and Neotel. These are supplied to various retail outlets, predominantly forecourts, shops, shebeens and spaza shops where consumers have easy access to pre-paid airtime.

Blue Label Media offers marketers a ready space on which to showcase a wide range of advertising on Bulk vouchers and till rolls to include marketing actions, such as call-to-action campaigns, branding, couponing and educational initiatives.
The prepaid airtime vouchers represent the ideal platform for cost-effective mass mobilisation campaigns, for several reasons:

• The large number of vouchers sold countrywide every month.
• Frequency, as prepaid airtime users purchase between three and six vouchers per month.
• Measurability of a campaign’s effectiveness.
• Geo-targeting, which allows advertisers to activate a campaign according to geographical area or even per network operator.
• Extensive exposure, due to three-side branding on vouchers multiplied by mass distribution and visibility.
