Fri, 10 Dec 2010 07:08:00 -0800

I wanted to share the happy news that earlier this week my business partner and I pushed the button on putting ALLOW's beta platform live. For those that don't know what I have been upto over the past year here is the story in 5 bullet points!

Had a crazy idea about changing the face of marketing by creating a marketplace for permissioned data
I met Howard my business partner
We raised nearly half a million to set the business up
We founded ALLOW and did loads of testing and got loads of feedback
and now we are launching our beta platform and asking you to get involved!

If you want to know what ALLOW does then check out our video - in 2 minutes it will explain much better than an email.If you want to read some of the press attention we've been getting then you can click here.

So why do I need your help? Well like any new brand we are beginning the good fight for attention and members. You can help in the following ways:

Become a member of ALLOW who wants all that unsolicited marketing anyway? Why not get in control of your personal information? It's free and you can even if you want put your information to work! Click here to see what ALLOW can do for you!

...and if you are a marketer (and many of you are) why not get in touch to learn how you can put The Power of Permission and ALLOW to work in your business
