PhoneGuard Releases Shareholder Newsletter and Investor Update on Recent Company
Progress and Future Outlook
BOCA RATON, FL, Aug 02, 2011 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- PhoneGuard, Inc., a
subsidiary of Options Media Group Holdings, Inc. (pinksheets:OPMG) (otcqb:OPMG),
a leading provider of mobile applications software, announced today that Chairman
of the Board, Keith St. Clair, has released a Company newsletter to shareholders
and investors outlining the substantial progress PhoneGuard has made in the past
few months toward growing the business line and its brand as well as the near
term future outlook at the Company. In the letter, Mr. St. Clair details the
Company's four business channels, namely, the social/public relations channel,
the enterprise channel, the retail channel and the affiliate channel, providing
an account and update of each venue. Interested parties can view the full
newsletter at the following link here.
Already this year, the Company has established a high profile professional and
promotional partnership with internationally acclaimed singer/songwriter, Justin
Bieber; undertaken a brand-wide repositioning campaign that is already beginning
to bear fruit in the form of consumer awareness and uptake; acquired the rights
to all corporate intellectual property including source codes, trademarks,
copyrights and patents; and secured all the appropriate capitalization needed to
effectively execute its strategy for the foreseeable future. Additionally, last
month, PhoneGuard launched the first free responsible texting application in
America, Drive Safe(TM), and, starting in September, the Company will launch its
Drive Safe(TM) Pro application suite where existing users will be given the
option to upgrade their application for $29.99 annually.
Mr. St. Clair, Chairman of Options Media Group and PhoneGuard, Inc., commented,
"We are extremely excited about the good news coming out of PhoneGuard as our
momentum really begins to build with consumers and a growing nationwide audience,
something we see getting even stronger as we continue to progress forward. In
fact, since the recent PhoneGuard Drive Safe(TM) campaign launch on July 19, we
have seen unprecedented website traffic and conversion rates of Drive Safe(TM).
After much hard work at the Company, we've made great strides in the past several
months and continue to look forward to surpassing our milestones and goals with
the onset of our Fall 2011 campaign that will begin soon. Investors and
shareholders should definitely stay tuned to the very bright future about to
unfold at PhoneGuard."
Going forward, Mr. St. Clair has indicated his intent to continue to share
PhoneGuard's on-going growth and developments with shareholders and investors by
providing a regular monthly newsletter. More information on Drive Safe(TM) Pro
and PhoneGuard updates can be found at the Options Media Group website at
optionsmedia.com.
Available for BlackBerry and Android smart phones, with iPhone in the final
stages of development, the Drive Safe(TM) application enables global positioning
satellite (GPS) tracking to calculate the speed of travel while a vehicle is in
motion. Once vehicle speed reaches 10 miles per hour, the Drive Safe(TM)
application locks the phone's keyboard, preventing the user from emailing,
surfing the web or texting while driving. Other Drive Safe(TM) features include
an Auto-Reply button, a pre-set response that is automatically delivered to the
texter or caller and reads I am driving and will contact you when I reach my
destination; a Request Permission button that allows users to request permission
from the administrator to have functionality of the mobile phone; and an Admin
Override button, allowing the administrator to type in a set password to override
PhoneGuard's System Settings so that specific mobile functions can be utilized.
For example, if a child is riding the bus, Drive Safe(TM) will know he or she is
in a moving vehicle and will disable the phone. The child will then hit Request
Permission, which sends a text message to the administrator. The administrator
can then text "yes" back to the disabled phone, unlocking the phone for 15
minutes. After this time limit, the keyboard will be disabled again.
PhoneGuard and Justin Bieber developed Drive Safe(TM) as a simpler and free
version of a larger application suite. Their hope is to make Drive Safe(TM)
accessible to as many drivers as possible.
