I want to remind you about Vontoo. Vontoo voice messaging is a service that allows you to send voice messages to lists of people simultaneously. Although this might seem like a marketing scheme, you shouldn’t be fooled. One of the benefits of Vontoo is that it is a permission based program. Utilizing “opt-in registration,” users only listen to the messages that they agree to hear.

A corporation could use this service to send important messages to their investors in situations where email or snail mail would not be beneficial. Furthermore, this would be a great thing for universities to use to contact faculty, staff, and students if there is ever a campus emergency and everyone needs to be on the same page. Likewise, it is a great way for a university to keep in touch with its alumni. Pacific University used Vontoo to publicize its “Pacific University Legends Golf Outing.” They used the voices of famous alumni to entice others to join in on the festivities. From a marketing standpoint, I think that what Vontoo has to offer is cutting-edge technology that deserves to be looked at as a viable option for corporations who want to add to their market.
