The initial results were above expectations for the first week as the marketing program is only beginning to ramp up. Active users are spending an average of 13.5 minutes per day on the application watching video, interacting with their social medias and making FREE phone calls on the advertising supported platform.
KNCTR(R) is the next generation of social communications applications that allows users to aggregate their social media(s) and voice services into one location on their desktop. Unlike Skype, the telephone feature on KNCTR(R) is completely free to the consumer allowing FREE local and long distance calls to mobile phones and land lines. KNCTR(R) is a premium advertising model that allows for branded sponsorship, pre-roll and display advertising opportunities for brands and service providers alike.
With the projected impact that tablets will have on the personal computing space, with over 50 million units to be sold within the next two years in North America alone, KNCTR(R) is positioned to enhance the functionality and usability of these devices by allowing them to become a fully functioning phone unit.
"The results, in the first full week of the KNCTR(R) launch, have been exceptionally positive for us." said Brad Parry, CMO Intertainment Media Inc., "The rate of acceptance, engagement and sharing of KNCTR(R) by consumers has been phenomenal."
Notably, the itiBiti desktop app has been hailed by Microsoft Corp. as "the next generation of integrated social media applications - easy, scalable and fun."
