Using Twitter as a Marketing Tool

As you continue to develop your market and create products which pique the interest of your customer base, you might also want to consider using Twitter. The impact of this cost effective viral marketing is best illustrated with these facts:

February 2009 Compete.com blog entry ranked Twitter as the third most used social network based on their count of 6 million unique monthly visitors and 55 million monthly visits.

According to Reuters, “more than half of Fortune 100 companies are using the wildly popular micro-blogging site.”

Like other successful companies, VarPhonex has utilized the site to “tweet” which describes writing messages of 140 characters or less. VarPhonex Tweeps (as Twitter followers are known) are first to receive news, promotions and even hear about job openings. Jenise Collado, VarPhonex Marketing Director reports a 100% increase in the amount of Tweeps or followers since becoming active 3 months earlier. Jenise explained, “other added value in being an active Twitter user is the ability to see what customers are tweeting about and hear the latest news in telephony by the competitors. Using Twitter as a source for industry news gets you information faster than a newspaper can publish it.”

In summary, if you are a reseller who wants to create inexpensive online buzz about your brand, try using Twitter.

Major VarPhonex Rate Reduction

VarPhonex has done it again. Lower rates and higher profit for you, our valued partner. Check out the The New Rate Changes we have recently put into effect.

VarPhonex is proud to announce the first major rate reduction in over nine months. Rates for virtually all phone service, including mobile phones, across the globe have been reduced.

As an example of the reductions, calls to some areas of Mexico decreased over 80%. Calls to some areas in the Dominican Republic have decreased over 59%. Calls to many areas in Brasil have decreased by 39% to almost 48%. Calls to 185 unique routes, including mobile phones have dropped 20% or MORE. These examples don't include the additional discount you receive when purchasing blocks of call credit.

We understand the competition has increased and as a pioneer in the industry, we have decided to make a significant change to give you more opportunity to be competitive and increase profit. While we have implemented our largest rate decrease in our history, we continue to focus on the high level of voice quality and availability you expect.

There has never been a more affordable time for your customers to call mobile phones and other destinations where we have been less competitive. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to increase your sales and make your customers happy. Keep in mind, along with the decreases, there are in some cases substantial increases where we have been incorrectly rating calls or in remote locations where the local telephone companies have made large rate changes, that we cannot control.

Please review the The New Rate Changes and if you're not already using our Variable Rating Tool to increase profit, there is no time better than now to start.

Should you have any questions regarding the rate changes or the Variable Rating Tool, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Thank you for your continued support and stay tuned for more exciting announcements coming in 2009.
