Let’s say you have a network of customers, associates, or perhaps a list of other interested people that you desperately want to inform of a new product or promotion that is going on. You could always send them an email. But not everyone has an email address (odd I know), or they didn’t wish to provide an email account to be contacted at. In which case, what do you do then? Even if the email goes through you’ve probably got about a 50-50 chance it might wind up in the spam box or they don’t see it in enough time, if it’s time sensitive.
So email isn’t very reliable, what about doing it the old fashioned way? Well, to be frank, that’s an even riskier option. Sadly enough, the United States Postal Service is not the most reliable. Your mail might get there on time, it might not. It might make it in one piece, and it might not even make it at all. Your odds are probably less than 50-50 here. That’s not even taking into consideration the cost of packaging and mailing your information either. So how does one get their information delivered to interested parties in a manner that conveys the message accurately and will actually reach the intended?
If you’ve found yourself puzzling over these questions you might want to give Vontoo voice messaging a shot. Have no fear, this isn’t a tele-marketing scam. Vonto is a permission-based, voice messaging system that allows you to send audio messages to any home or cell phone number in the United States.
Does this work? Well just ask the Steve and Lisa Roberts of the weekly Plan B Sundays at Belvedere night club in Houston, TX who partnered with the sixth season American Idol Finalist LaKisha Jones to promote their event. Jones, who had quite the Gospel and R&B fanbase in Houston, recorded a voice message for them that was sent out to interested persons. Needless to say, it was a hit. You can read more about this success and others on their site.
erm.. I know there are many voice messaging provider available. Personally, I still prefer to read text messaging in email because voice messaging sometimes may have communication barrier. You can’t even know what your customer will talking about as their language slang is different from us
