Marketwired
PhoneGuard, Inc., a subsidiary of Options Media Group Holdings,
Inc. (PINKSHEETS: OPMG) (OTCQB: OPMG) and a provider of mobile
applications, today announces the official beginning of the revenue
production stage for its PhoneGuard "Text Responsibly" and
"Personal Security" products. The Company is also providing details
of its plans for an innovative, but industry proven, hybrid direct
revenue and advertising revenue model that includes not only sales
of the PhoneGuard products targeted at teenagers, parents and
enterprises, but also a powerful advertising-based model that is
expected to enhance the Company's revenues.
The new PhoneGuard.com website is now operational allowing
consumers to simply and conveniently download and purchase any of
the new product offerings. The new site features the Company's new
PhoneGuard branding strategy and the Company's new tagline "It's
Your Life. Drive It."
The website also features a personal message from two-time
Grammy nominated singer/songwriter Justin Bieber who commented,
"There are too many lives lost to such a preventable issue like
texting and driving. This is a cause that's really important to me,
and I know affects a lot of my fans. That's why I decided to work
with PhoneGuard, because we share the same vision and goal. It's
simple: text responsibly."
The Company is also unveiling the pricing and feature sets of
the three main product categories targeted at teens, parents and
enterprise customers. The teen-oriented product is priced at a
one-time payment of $0.99 and there are two versions of the product
targeted at parents, PhoneGuard Family and PhoneGuard Family Pro,
priced at $4.99 and $19.99 per year, respectively. Additionally,
the Company is now making available a customizable and feature
packed comprehensive product suite targeted at enterprise
customers, called PhoneGuard Enterprise.
The new PhoneGuard application targets teens that are looking to
stay safe while always ensuring they stay connected to their
friends and family. The application includes Text
Block, Custom Auto-Reply, Admin Override and Panic Button. PhoneGuard Family enables parents to play
an active role in their family's safety by protecting them on and
off the road with features such as Text Block,
Custom Auto-Reply, Admin Override, Panic Button, Speed Control,
Admin Control, Request Permission and Remember Passcode. PhoneGuard Family Pro includes the
same features as PhoneGuard Family, plus Web
Portal, Geo-Fencing, Custom Timeout and Real-Time Tracking/Locator function, which uses GPS to
locate a missing phone in real time.
These new product offerings position PhoneGuard at the
intersection of safety and connectivity by disabling texting,
emailing and keyboard functions of a mobile phone while in a
vehicle moving faster than 10 miles per hour, empowering drivers to
take responsibility for personal security and safe driving, while
providing a host of additional safety and connectivity related
benefits.
Scott Frohman, CEO of PhoneGuard commented, "Over the past few
months, we have been hard at work developing one of the most robust
personal safety and responsible texting platforms. Our previous
corporate roots were in mobile and cell phone advertising and we
plan to capitalize on this previous experience in order to launch
our hybrid strategy that will produce revenue as we gain customer
downloads and as we provide useful advertising services targeted at
this new customer base. By keeping our prices at an attractive
level and capitalizing on our celebrity endorsement, we believe we
can drive a tremendous amount of traffic to our site and generate a
significant number of downloads, which are highly valuable from an
advertising perspective. We have already developed a strong back
office platform through our previous investments at Options Media
Group and we plan to use this platform to provide the advertising
integration that is required. This is a proven model that has
produced strong results for many online-oriented software companies
and is one where we believe we can also be highly successful."
"The PhoneGuard team is excited to announce to our investors
that we have now moved into the full revenue production stage. Our
new website is operational, our branding has been fully developed
and new sales channels have opened. We will begin taking orders for
the PhoneGuard product as of today," commented Keith St. Clair,
Chairman of PhoneGuard. "We are also very pleased that we have been
able to combine Option Media Group's vast experience in mobile
advertising into our overall revenue generation model. We believe
it adds an exciting dynamic to our overall story, while providing
additional areas of top line growth for the PhoneGuard
organization."
