inspireyourlife, a unique new business venture, is working with International mobile services provider, Opera Telecom, to deliver inspirational quotes direct to mobile phones via SMS. The text messages are a compilation of motivational quotes including confidence boosters, stress busters and Biblical quotes originating from individuals such as Martin Luther King, Albert Einstein and Aristotle.
Susanne Mornan-Vaughan, Founder of inspireyourlife, comments, "We believe that we are the first organisation in the UK to utilise the versatility of the mobile phone and the unique capabilities of text messaging in an inspirational context. The role of inspireyourlife is to motivate and inspire individuals to make the most of their abilities. The popularity and intimacy of SMS, coupled with its profit potential, means it is the ideal medium to deliver this service to market."
Susanne Mornan-Vaughan was involved in the development and deployment of one of the first text messaging services in the UK. She is a fully qualified E-business Consultant, Motivational Speaker and Life Coach, and launched inspireyourlife on 6 June 2002, supported by radio advertising campaigns on Jazz FM and Premier Radio Station.
Subscription to the inspirational SMS service costs £4.50 through a premium rate phone line. Opt-in subscribers receive 62 inspirational SMS messages, which are compiled by Mornan-Vaughan. These messages are arranged in a monthly flow and sent out twice daily, morning and evening, to subscribers. All SMS delivery is managed by Opera Telecom.
Mornan-Vaughan continues, "In order to take this service to market, both efficiently and cost-effectively, we needed an end-to-end solution that did not require numerous contracts with mobile operators, content and service providers. Opera Telecom is able to build and operate the technology whilst managing the mobile phone database and delivering the content to those registered users."
Moving forward, inspireyourlife plans to further extend its collaboration with Opera Telecom by delivering the service to key European Cities, where the uptake of SMS has also enjoyed significant growth. Additionally, the company hopes to design further creative SMS services that draw on Mornan-Vaughan's expertise.
inspireyourlife is working with Opera Telecom on a revenue-share basis, with Opera Telecom providing the background technology infrastructure and database management.
Mornan-Vaughan concludes, "Opera Telecom is one of the fastest growing mobile services companies in the UK and its role as an SMS infrastructure provider means we have a reliable, efficient one-stop-shop for delivering our SMS services to market."
