here is why the free app is smart
for the sweepstakes to win the jacket for the next 2 months...something like this will happen in millions of homes:
12 yr old kid: "MOM!! DAD!!! YOU BOTH HAVE TO DOWNLOAD PHONEGUARD TO YOUR PHONE ALSO SO I CAN HAVE MORE CHANCES TO WIN!!"
Parents: Ok ok!!
Parents then see what the app has to offer...then read up on it more...see the PRO version that has all the other features...they buy it for the family with the subscription.....sales sales sales!!!!
no brainer
This sweepstakes is so smart! Think about this..

Mother-Bieber brilliant!!!
anyone have the links to the conference Ray LaHood is speaking at tomorrow about distracted driving? I know a few posted before... tia
I think they are going to just call it Phoneguard (my thoughts and opinion)...i dont like the name Phoneguard 360 tbh. From a marketing standpoint, keeping the product name consistent is smarter IMO. Hopefully this is what they are doing.
They just took down the video. made it private.
Imagine the head of a school district bringing this up during a board meeting and mandating having this product on kids phones if they do own one and bring it to school so they cant use it during class hours...with the amount of kids with phones now days....and combined with the possibility of this going viral with the cause growing...this could be a reality.
With the ability to set it to shut off the screen for the exact times you want, parents could open up the phone for their kid during lunch hour etc but during class...locked down. Can you imagine how much teachers would LOVE to push this action to make it a reality for their classes??? One less distraction they have to deal with.
I know some of you are saying "yea but my kid is perfect and they dont use their phone at school" or "they can just keep their phone in their bag or locker".....come on...they are kids! They will try to find a way to be sneaky anytime they can...with this product...they have no way around it...seems like a no brainer to me.
There are SO many ways for the company to sell this product on a MASSIVE scale its mind blowing....def going to be an exciting summer to see what they have in store.
explain how holding this from the .02s with over 6M shares has cost me $$ not playing other flips that you did and making a few grand. do the math kid...and tell me how much i missed out on. lol
If you had any kind of patience you might start making some $$! I really hope you can accumulate some shares of this b/c it could make your whole career!
GLTY
wrong...thats just MMs playing catch up at the end of the day getting their books right.
so sell and quit crying..nobody cares what you think tbh
go flip somewhere to pay your rent and the rest of us will be flying around spending our cash that we make when this thing takes off.
good luck!
some people are happy with making a few hundred bucks to pay their car note...and they consider themselves a smart trader in the process. Just have to sit back and laugh at it and shake your head really...one day they will get it...or not.
This thing isnt even CLOSE to making its grind upward. We have all been in it for months on end and are immune to it right now. Thats why it seems like nothing is happening for some..while the newbies are going nuts about it b/c they are starting to see the potential us longs have seen for quite a while now. Things just keep getting better and better....once the PR starts to drop...gloves are off and no telling where this goes. Im ready for the ride thats for sure.
lol exactly..you certainly dont seem to get it. learn some patience kid...this is a winner..just hold and be happy!
yea..that was the top..before product launch and any PR...i better sell my 6M shares now before its too late!! ohnos!!
better get the tissue ready my friend.
doing that with this one will cost you a fortune.
flipping stocks can pay your bills every month...a storyline stock like this one can make you filthy rich if you play it right.
Exactly right....some people here think Ihub is the center of the universe..we are not even a blip on the radar for the most part. The masses still have no clue about this company. Personally, I love how this is a slow steady grind upward...especially with all the volume this week on ZERO PR from the company...gotta love that....all the main guys in the company are getting paid ZERO right now....they all have the same interests as we do...they want the PPS to go up as well so when the time comes for them and the Biebs to sell they can cash in just as we will.
GL Kids!
buying leading up to the launch. everyone wants in.
you should call Scott and tell him that!
like at the end of the Google Chrome video for Biebs haha
A friend of mine has been texting me all morning (not while driving) He is a driver at the Hard Rock in Vegas...said the Biebs was there all weekend just hangin out. He drove him around and told him he was invested in Phoneguard..and said Biebs started talking about how they just shot tons of PSAs and commercials that they are going to have all over the place in the coming weeks.
If thats not first hand PR I dont know what is.
I have a friend opening a bar in a few months called the Hippie Ticker...stock market theme beer garden...perfect spot to all come get loaded haha
lol dude dont be a cheap ass...you will make plenty of $$ to cover your own airfare
it cracks me up to see people going into panic mode when we have a small pullback from what was called a "run" the other day. Everyone must get out of their heads that this is going to trade like a typical OTC pump....its not. Try to put all the pieces of the puzzle together and think like you are trading a big boy stock. This is a GREAT storyline stock and the "runs" are not all going to happen from 6/6-7/11. IMO, I really dont see us having a huge pop on 7/11....I see this having slow steady growth over the rest of the year but hey..im speculating which is what we are all doing here. If you are pissed that you havent scored your happy meal already, sell and ill gladly pick up your shares....im sure Elijah will also....i wouldnt mind having 10M shares for when this baby is in the .30s...but im happy with my 6M and dont plan on selling anytime soon. This is a gift being this cheap compared to where this stock will be a year from now.
Good Luck kiddos!
that was Hunter lol. he is a trip and gets kicked out of chat rooms all the time b/c he never shuts up. He did that b/c he knew we were all on the call from one specific chat room and we all lost it when he did that. Classic
Exactly...TV ads are more like guerilla marketing for already well known products. Thats why we see so many pizza hut or AT&T or Nike..etc...etc commercials b/c we ALREADY KNOW what those brands are..without even having to watch the commercial we KNOW what they have to offer. If Phoneguard just throws out a commercial out there to the masses...nobody will know what they are watching. Now a year or two down the road...maybe so.
Its going to be target marketing but with a guerilla marketing strategy to specific demographics IMO....thats what i would do if I were in charge of getting this product out to the masses they want it to hit. The Biebs influence alone can send this viral as we all are aware of.
The worst part about all this is the hurry up and wait aspect of it all. Which isnt really a bad thing at all :) I really dont see myself selling any of my position until at LEAST the .20s range...and more likely higher than that. Im most def going to hold on to a few million shares for a long long long time to see where it goes.
Exciting times ahead for sure.....ive said this in some of my other posts here....day trading stocks here and there can pay the bills for you and make you good $$...storyline stocks like this one can make you filthy rich if you have the patience.
come on dude..not trying to have a pissing contest with you here...Im over 6M shares long here and along for the long ride this stock will be on.
Ive been in marketing for 10 years. All im saying is your opinion that TV is the best avenue and all funds should be expunged for it is not the best way to launch a product IMO. They could end up having to spend 10s of millions to repeat the same message over and over and over and STILL people wont know what they are looking at. Imagine if they spend all that $$ and people are seeing the commercial fly by on their DVR which they fwd through to watch their recorded episode of Dancing with the Stars....then what...that $$ is wasted on ad space for a commercial that nobody saw.
I have no doubt they have a plan to roll out this product to bring awareness to the masses. We all have to remember that the group of us here doesnt even make a dent in the number of people that need to know what Phoneguard is and does. All we need to do now is sit back and enjoy the ride..its going to be a VERY good summer with just this stock alone.
GL
If you apply that logic about they MUST go the TV route, then Justin Bieber wouldnt be the star he is today since he never went the TV route to jump start his career right? Think before you come up with that assumption my man....breaking the bank in marketing on a single medium will not be any more effective than using many others that are more effective to raise awareness.
I live in Austin and was bummed and blown away at how stupid Perry is. But what do you expect..he has done stuff like this forever.
Awareness will have to be done by others since the govt doesnt want to help out.
dont worry...im not selling anytime soon. This has huge upside to it..i dont plan to sell any unti at least the .20s
Its going to take a few days to get the editing done...at least.
Im there with you...i think we both hold around the same position as far as # of shares and def have to stay level headed...lets just not both sell at the same time like you said haha.
Its moved nice today already and its on LOW volume...def not a bad thing! Just a matter of time.
for the back of the packaging of the product maybe or an insert card when you take the product out it has a small bio about the Brown family with a pic of Justin and them to bring awareness and the gravity of the product. Something like that could be a water cooler talking topic....
"hey i read this card about this family who lost their daughter..." etc etc..
SOOOO many avenues of marketing they can take here...its unlimited.
If it goes that high ill charter a private jet for us and head to Amsterdam for a weekend lol
dude sell your 100 bucks worth and stop crying. You were mr super pump leading up to and after the CC.
Nobody cares to hear your whining anymore.
Do you really think Biebs mgmt team is going to allow his name and rep to be put on the line for something that is a pump and dump? The kid made 100M last year. Get real man...this isnt LEXG. This is a company with an actual product and its at the ground floor as far as where its heading.
Just takes a few clicks for you and you can exit your position. Im super long and have over 3M shares...and im perfectly calm about where the stock is at right now. Why are you freaking out about your position that is nowhere near that?
Ive read your posts regarding this company and for someone with a proclaimed 20+ years of business and investing experience, you are sure quick to jump ship after you were one of the big rah rah guys here leading up to the CC and after it.
Just b/c you havent made a 1000% gain up to this point you are quick to bash Bieber and the CEO when things are in the infancy stages of where this company is heading.
Do you really think Keith St. Clair is going to join a company just for a single mention of Bieber promoting the product? Go look at what this man has done. Seriously...use your 20+ years of experience you say you have and realize what you are saying.
Im sure you will be back singing the praises once this begins to move along with everyone else...not bashing just the nature of 99% of traders who dont have the patience or knowledge of a storyline stock such as this.
Like I said a few days ago, this company is turning a full 180 and starting over with their business model. They were an ESP for YEARS and now they are moving into the mobile app/security suite realm and so they are having to start from the bottom with branding, marketing, raising $$, etc etc etc.
I used to own a few night clubs and we would bring in DJ's from all over the world. We would NEVER promote a DJ that was going to play 6 weeks out...people want to know whats going on 2 weeks away..not a month and a half...thats WAY too long for them to forget and we would have to spend all that $$ again to remind them of what was going to happen. So apply that same theory to the launch of Phoneguard 360 only difference is this product is going to be a constant thing....its not just a one time promotion...it will be a revolving marketing plan that will continue for quite a while.
In your 20+ years of having business experience did you go wild with guerilla marketing a month before your product launch? (assuming you had one to sell) I would hope not...and if you did...you would have to spend all that $$ again b/c sadly in this day and age, people are soon to forget.
Best example...(nothing to do with OPMG but relevant to marketing)...Lebron James. We are a "what have you done for me lately" society. He played great in the first 3 series of the playoffs...in the Finals..he vanished after game 1. So we as a society are quick to say..oh he is terrible..he is a choker...he isnt one of the best in the league blah blah blah....
This is how you and many others are with OPMG right now....leading up the CC and the 6/6 PR, everyone was excited to see the stock rocket to .10+ and when it didnt, the bashing starts and you cant BELIEVE you havent made your fortune already. Just take a breath..relax...and use your proclaimed business knowledge and realize what is really going on with this company. If you are objective with it, you know this is going to make $$ for everyone...and most importantly save lives.
I said this in my last post...Try to think like Bieber and his mgmt team here...If he has 141M shares, at 1.50 his stake would be worth 200M and he would be under INTENSE scrutiny...on the other hand at .05 his stake is worth about 5M and not worth his time to even get involved....
Just remember...individual little stock moves pay the electric bills, but a storyline stock like this one can make you rich.
GL
It blows my mind how some here are so quick to jump ship b/c the stock didnt rocket on June 6th...all June 6 did was confirm what we already knew...that the Beibs was signed to help market the product...which btw doesnt even launch until July 11th!!
Like it has been mentioned on here, when it comes to marketing, you dont just drop all your bombs on one day. You have to build up to your product launch. You get your brand awareness out there...which by the way is pretty much starting over for this company. For YEARS they were an ESP. Now the business model is pulling a 180 and going into the mobile app market and we are on the ground floor with this application..which is more of a comprehensive security suite than an app which we all know.
Some of you here are freaking out and cant BELIEVE you havent made 1000% on your money already in just a short period of time b/c Bieber hasnt made the PPS hit 1.00+ with it being in the infancy stages of where things will go.
A friend of mine told me this. Try to think like Bieber and his mgmt team here...If he has 141M shares, at 1.50 his stake would be worth 200M and he would be under INTENSE scrutiny...on the other hand at .05 his stake is worth about 5M and not worth his time to even get involved.

where did you get this info from? link? or did you call the company?
I think Sykes lost creditability LONG before this stock.....he is the prime example of what reality TV people do when their 15 mins are over.....they will do ANYTHING to keep their name talked about and will stoop as low as they have to in order to do that.
