Jones Soda

May 30, 2008

We have recently launched a high volume text-to-win campaign with Jones Soda. The campaign is being promoted on the bottle caps of thousands of Jones Soda bottles. Don’t think I’m “plugging” their product in any way, but I really think these guys are onto something. Fresh juices, soda water, and cane sugar? IS IT REALLY THAT DIFFICULT. I’ve been saying all my life why can’t soda makers just use simple, high quality ingredients rather than the 10,000 ingredients typically seen when you look on the back of a soda can.

But then again this blog is about mobile marketing not about soda. So — hats off to Jones for joining the GoLive! Mobile family!


Record SBR in April

May 23, 2008

April was a good month for SBR — in fact it was a record month. Across all of our short codes and aggregator connections we collected 94% of billings — shattering our previous record of 91%. While we had great divergences amongst short codes — ranging from 72% – 98%, the overall average of 94% seems to indicate that the carrier billing systems here in the U.S are starting to really tighten up. As usual, shared short code clients experienced much lower SBR’s than dedicated code clients.

Our UK clients collected at a very impressive 97% blended, which helped the average.

US client base collected at 89%.


Agent Program Gaining Traction

May 18, 2008

About a year ago we started our agent program with an aggressive 15 – 25% recurring commission paid to qualified agents, and I’m happy to say that the first year has truly been a homerun for us.

We have amassed a team of almost 100 agents, and together they have brought us nearly $5 million in revenue as of the time of this writing. We plan to have a Christmas Gala for all of our agents later this year — Maui anybody?

If you are interested in becoming a GoLive! Mobile Agent, please email sales@golivemobile.com with your Resume and other pertinent information. It is a commission-only program, and you really are only expected to refer leads to our in-house sales team.
