IVAN_INTRO APP DIGS UP NEW BUSINESS FOR FLOORING
SPECIALISTS The way flooring specialists find work looks set to change forever following the launch of revolutionary new app Ivan_intro.
The free to download app, fronted by Ivan the mole, is powered by response technology, which mines Twitter for key phrases in conversations or mentions relevant to flooring specialists. The app then automatically sends a personalised response from the user with contact details.
The user-friendly app is available for both Apple IOS and Android OS devices, comes pre-loaded with over 150 trades and occupations, and can be set up in six easy steps.
The app comes pre-loaded with five free responses. The user can set up a reply to leads unearthed by Ivan. Users can use an in-app top-up to buy more responses if required.
Ivan_intro currently works with Twitter’s 15+ million active users, but its creators, Sociosciences, intends to include users of other social media, including Instagram and Facebook.
Sociosciences Director, Stuart Burn, said: “Ivan never sleeps. He works 24/7, leaving you free to work, relax and sleep while he digs up business leads for you. Our innovative technology means Ivan only sends a response to those who have mentioned they need help, so when the mobile rings you know it’s someone who wants your services.
Once installed and set up, the app works 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and unearths leads for businesses. Ivan_ intro also allows users to set a radius of up to 20 miles, keeping its mining of introductions very local.
“The app is free to download, so it’s a no-brainer to give it a go and see if it can transform your business. Ivan is a very clever mole to have on your side.”
