Agent 511 at the Sunset Series!!

Last night, we went down to the Sunset Series at the Executive Inn to spread the word about Agent511. About thirty of our "agents" were in and around our tent educating people on how to use our service. The people we talked to were all surprised and delighted at the deals they could receive just by texting OWB to 511511.

During the band's break, a few of us were even asked to come on stage as Heath Eric of the Executive Inn instructed the crowd on how to use our service. We threw out t-shirts and other items to a very excited crowd. It was a very enjoyable and successful evening out in the community, and we would like to thank all the people that came out and helped us promote our great service!

Burns Elementary

The crew at Agent511 visited Burns Elementary School on May 16th and spoke to the 5th grade Junior Achievement class.

To our surprise, almost all of the 5th graders had cellular phones and knew how to text message; when asked, the kids all said they had taught their parents how to "text" as well. This was proof to us of how text messaging is growing.

IRAQ PACKAGE

At the GOTIT meeting on Wednesday, we were incouraged by Kevin Bruner of Infoserv, Inc. to send a care package to our soldiers in Iraq. We picked up several suggested items around town and packaged them up today to send off.

Items included DVD's, popcorn, soap, razors, shaving cream, and several magazines and literature about Owensboro.

We released our Version 2.0 that allows users to see the latest retail deals, dining deals, headlines, and entertainment. You can now text phrases such as “owb dining deals” to 511511 to search for Owensboro’s best deals and events. This was a monumental breakthrough in our young company’s development. The event was a great success because as a result of our presence, Agent511 received over 17,000 hits, which tripled our previous daily usage.

Those who attended this year’s BBQ fest learned how to use the service and add Owensboro511 as a contact in their phone. T-shirts were available for $5 with the phrases “Practice Safe Text” and “Instant textual gratification.”

GMAC Real Estate

OWENSBORO—Agent511 announced its newest capabilities today at GMAC Realty. Ankur Gopal demonstrated how Agent511 can connect the realtor and potential home buyer simply by text message. We had great reception of this new service among all realtors at GMAC.

Buyers can utilize text messaging in their search for a new home:

When a prospective home buyer arrives at a home, they will see a sign that says to text a four-digit number to 511511. Agent511 will reply with a message with all the specifications of the home. Buyers will then have the listing of the home on their cell phone to take with them wherever they go. Listings can also include pictures of the home for the potential buyer to show all of their friends and family. The best part is that home buyers will not even have to step out of their car to receive all the information
