Hi, Molly here. It’s been a couple weeks since our last post and I thought now that we’ve been in Beta for a month, this would be a good chance to update you on how things are going here at ShoutNow.
2008 was a big year for ShoutNow. That was supposed to be a joke- I hope some of you laughed. It was a short year considering we formed on December 5th and launched our beta site on December 15th. Nevertheless it will go down in history as the year ShoutNow debuted on a web browser near you.
So far our Beta has been great. We have sent over 3000 shouts. We have a few repeat customers, including Rainmakers, a statewide networking group based in Indianapolis, who have found ShoutNow useful in reminding their members of events. Lorraine Ball an organizer of many of the Rainmaker events and founder of RoundPeg an Indianapolis based Marketing and PR firm has had this to say about using ShoutNow during the beta:
<<We have used Shout Now several times since launch a month ago. Each time with great results. The first time was for a last minute party - 75 calls made, and 15 people who missed the email invite showed up. The second was a reminder for a business event - 1,500 calls and more than 150 attended the event. Many would have come anyway, but this additional call definitely boosted attendance for a networking event on December 30th. And finally my favorite story. A client attended a weekend trade show, and came home with about 100 leads. While he is going to mail follow up packages, and send an email, we tested Shout now. Within 5 minutes of the “Shout” he got a call from one of the prospects, quoted a project and closed the deal. >>
