WiseMobi Inc. acquires Reel2U and launches the first LIVE interactive, celebrity webcast platform and appoints Chris Lancey CEO
HOLLYWOOD, March 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - (WMBI:OTC) Reel2U is the first platform that marries the public's insatiable need for celebrity information with LIVE social, webcast interaction. This platform will provide registered members with an attractive opportunity to showcase themselves and interact and chat LIVE with their audience. Celebrities and other high profile figures can join the fun and webcast LIVE from the comfort of their own home, in their recording studio, or anywhere using their PC webcam.
Reel2U has an authorized celebrity subscription platform, where celebrities can leverage and invite their fan base and contacts, build their audience, promote their live webcasts, entertain, and generate a recurring income. Authorized celebrities will have personal channels offered on an audience "pay as you go" subscription basis. Celebrities can use the live webcasts to promote upcoming events as well as sell their products. We will seek to secure agreements with celebrities in the areas of music, movies, news, sports, and others. Celebrities can contact Reel2U directly for agreements to have an authorized channel.
In addition, Reel2U members that are successful in growing their audience base and meet Reel2U celebrity requirements can apply to become an authorized celebrity and receive their very own subscription channel.
To alert and invite members to scheduled webcast shows, Reel2U's internal mail system will automatically email out a subscription invitation to all members linked (friends, contacts) to the show host, as well as all members interested in the webcast's channel. For celebrity subscription channels, the email invitation will only go to those members who have paid for the "pay as you go" subscription option.
Reel2u Target Market
There are three distinct target markets:
- Celebrities looking to promote themselves, build and grow their
relationship with fans, and find a way to monetize their celebrity
status
- People looking to connect and get closer to their favourite
celebrities
- Anyone looking to entertain, share information, and become a celebrity
The three target markets can easily be found in established social networks, news and update networks, and instant messenger and email accounts held by celebrities and those looking to become a celebrity.
