GOOD AFTERNOON
I just wanted to say thank you to all of our supporters. We are getting ready for the launch party tonight and I wish we could have invited all of you to attend. The ProNetLink v1.0 site is working perfectly and we can't wait to show it off tonight.
We launched after business hours for two reasons...1. We know about how many companies we are expecting to use the system right away. We did not want to open and overload operations on the first day. By doing it over the weekend we can slowly begin everyday operations. 2. We wanted people to come to the party.
As I write this memo the site is being uploaded to the main server (you may notice some changes at www.pnlk.com).
As far as the marketing...lets not forget that we are already getting over 10,000 user sessions per month at the beta site. We will aim to convert those to members first.
We also did a huge mailing...
"A special package announcing the ProNetLink launch was sent to key governments, businesses and editors in over 60 countries across 6 continents. The announcements were translated into French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Hindi, Indonesian, Korean, Japanese, Malay, Thai and Vietnamese. In addition, a special mailing was done to media that focus on high-technology and the Internet. The U.S. media program alone covered over 2,000 newspapers, wire services, magazines and broadcast points. All businesses are invited to update or add their company or resource information to the ProNetLink database for free."
Read that again.
We also will make an announcement tonight that the database will be increased to 2.75 million companies. Up 1 million companies... Something that was mentioned in the release and somehow didn't get much coverage today. Surprising.
The stock is up 400% in just 4 weeks and as of tonight ProNetLink is in business. The company has delivered on time on every aspect of their program. The strategic partners are outstanding and will help make ProNetLink a powerful global business tool.
Please visit the site over the weekend. Add your companies to the database and relax.
Have a good weekend. I know I will. So long Frank.
