I recently took a vacation with my family for a weeklong cruise to the Western Carribbean and Central America. While this was a vacation and I was plannng to rest and relax, being the work-a-holic I am, I had every intention of checking emails and doing some work. As luck would have it....international waters are not so friendly to email and internet access. Like it or not, I was completely cutoff. While this was not an entirely bad thing as it did force me to rest, I couldn't help but wonder what was going on at work and how the Vontoo world was going.
As I reflected on this forced seclusion from work, I realized that there is one thing that everyone takes with them everywhere they go. Their phone. I very quickly learned I could still receive voice and text messages very well, so I depended on this to stay up-to-date. What a dependable method for reliable and trackable results for your direct response advertising. Any voice alert system that allows marketers the ability to create messages and send them to their audience regardless of their location is phenomenal.
During my time away, I still received Vontoo calls from my fellow voice messaging consultants and from our leadership. That kept me in the loop without going through complete vacation withdrawal. I even received a voice message from my daughter's new principal who plans to not only send voice messaging, but also blog to enhance communication to the parents.
I know, I know...I should have been relaxing and I did! I swam and sunned and am now ready to kick off 2009 with a boatload (no voice pun intended) of marketing strategies to make sure everyone knows how they can use voice marketing and messaging to further their communication efforts.
Remember, taking your marketing efforts full circle is not nearly as difficult as you might think! Simply think of ways you want to communicate with your audience and you have a million ways to implement the power of custom phone messaging into your marketing mix.
So as I watched the sun set each night on the ship....I could rest easy that all was well on the Vontoo front!
