Email Forwarding Service Provider Offers Email Address for Life
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
FRAMINGHAM, MA, Wed., July 10, 2002 - Who says a product
has to be complex, or that it has to break new technological ground to
be a success? Not the people at LifeName (www.lifename.com),
who offer a product that is elegant in its simplicity, accessible in its
affordability and timely in its availability.
Wherever you live, wherever you work, however you do your computing, and
however any of those things might change through the course of your
life, the LifeName virtual email hosting system gives you the
convenience and security of having one single email address throughout
your entire life. LifeName is an email forwarding system that takes all
messages for a given "LifeName" mailbox and consistently and quickly
forwards them to the user's personal (non-LifeName) email account.
If only the post office and telephone company had thought of this
service! We would be given a unique address and phone number at birth,
where all of our communications would be directed. Those communications
would be automatically forwarded to the mailbox or phone where we happen
to be at any given time, for our entire life. Understand the impact that
system would have on your life and you have a precise understanding of
the function of LifeName!
Let's talk about simplicity. When you sign up for LifeName (a process
that takes less than two minutes) you select your own email address from
one of LifeName's many domain names (lifename.com, lifename.net,
endlessemail.com, endlessemail.net…), and indicate where your messages
will be forwarded to. From then on, whenever you exchange email
addresses with friends, family or associates, you give your LifeName
address. When you purchase an item online, or register for a service
like low fares alerts or stock price broadcasts, you give your LifeName
address. Whenever you change Internet service providers (so you can use
a cable modem for example), whenever you change jobs or move, you merely
spend thirty seconds to update the address that LifeName forwards to.
"It is amazing!" says LifeName Founder and CEO Richard Strauss. "The
idea for this business grew out of my own frustration with all of the
trouble that I had to go through to change my email address (and
Internet identity); and then, even worse, to actually endeavor to tell
friends and colleagues the new address. We're getting thousands of
customers for just this reason."
LifeName is equally as popular when given for a baby gift, as well as
for people who share a single mailbox but want a separate email address
for each family member or person in their business. "There are other
companies offering a similar service," according to Strauss "but they
charge much more, or demand that their customers advertise for them as a
condition of holding the account."
Let's talk about affordability. $5.00 per year is the highest price
LifeName currently charges anyone for his or her email service. And, for
that $5.00, a user can actually forward all LifeName email to two
different mailboxes (home and office, for example). "LifeName will never
become a corporate giant; but, due to the elegance of the design and the
volume of customers, LifeName should be profitable." LifeName also
offers discounts to customers who sign up for multiple years, even
offering a lifetime subscription, "An option especially popular as a
baby gift," according to Strauss.
Why is LifeName so timely? Users are experiencing the difficulties
implicit in changing email addresses. First of all, the success of DSL
and cable modems is leading users to change their email providers, and
therefore, change their email addresses. Secondly, now that the
previously free email services and low-price service providers have been
reported to be charging for their services, people are unsubscribing and
seeing that LifeName is an excellent solution. And finally, now that
email addresses have become the universal Internet User Name, people
want their accounts to be identified with them forever.
"What the heck," says Strauss, "How can people resist buying something
which is essential, yet inexpensive, quick and easy?"
