Press Release Body = Mkodo has announced that BiGDUG, the number one provider for low cost shelving, is integrating the mkodo Intelligent Mobile Platform (IMP) with its print advertising campaign.

Future advertisements from BiGDUG (http://www.BiGDUG.co.uk/) will not only promote specific products, but will also include a text number, which interested parties can SMS to order the company’s complete catalogue.
