Unique business opportunity
We are licensing our SMS subscription service to suitable companies interested in starting a similar service in their town or country. We install the system, provide technical support and conduct future development initiatives.

We can provide a turn-key solution together with full technical support. You must be strong in marketing to make a success in your country.

License holders earn revenue from the following;

• Monthly subscription fee to their subscribers (100%)
• SMS messages (+/-33%, depending on network and country)
• Premium rated return messages (+/- 50%, depending on network and country)
• Installation costs when installing the program on the subscriber's computer (100%)
• On-site Support to subscribers (100%)
• Advertising revenue, e.g. sponsored messages (100% - can be a substantial amount)
• Advertising revenue, e.g. Advertising space on the user's desktop each time they send an SMS message can be sold to third party advertisers.

The ideal licensee would be a company that already runs a subscription service with a large customer base. It would even be better if such a company provides electronic services, for instance an Internet provider, cell phone provider, etc.

With SMS 4 Professionals you can run a subscription service that competes with the best in the world. Companies that invest in their own SMS service may receive sole rights to the technology depending on their investment.

Once implemented, your business provides a constant flow of monthly income with relative low maintenance and overheads.

Market potential
This solution provides UNIQUE functionality that is not available in other programs.

In our current marketing campaigns we’ve been focusing mostly on the medical industry and found that more than 90% of doctors that have been visited do NOT have such a service installed. The same percentage applies to hair stylists, beauticians, churches, hotels, libraries, video stores and many other prospective clients.

40 – 50% sign up for the service after viewing the presentation.

The service can be customized to the needs of any industry, e.g. financial-, retail-, health- and beauty- by changing a few configuration settings and templates when it is installed.
 

Turnover
The number of subscribers may change drastically, depending on the area where the service is rendered. Figures below are based solely on a South African scenario (South African Rand), comparing to similar services provided by other cell phone providers.
