Clickatell and Dontgo Launch Real-time SMS Customer Feedback Service

Innovative Cell Phone-based System Provides Trusted Brands with an Easy-to-use Service for On-the-spot Customer Feedback at a Level Never Achievable Before

Redwood City, US and Cape Town, SA: January 22, 2008 – Clickatell, global provider of mobile messaging and Dontgo, online consumer advocate service, today announced the launch of an innovative mobile customer service notification system. Maintaining excellent customer service is the top concern for most organizations. Using Clickatell’s global mobile messaging services, Dontgo provides consumers with the power to easily

send text messages directly from their cell phones at the time of service. Customers can report bad service using their cell phone in a matter of seconds. Consumers can also decide to let people know about extraordinary service using the same system.

Research reveals only a fraction of customers complain to businesses directly when they receive bad service, giving companies little chance to deal with problems directly. Most consumers around the globe simply withdraw their support and criticize the establishment to anyone who’ll listen. Now, using the Dontgo mobile customer feedback system, customers can communicate to organizations directly, sending them an SMS on the spot. This enables organizations to listen and respond to complaints about negative customer service experiences immediately – rather than after weeks of dissatisfaction. Available today in South Africa, this new service is being used by a broad range of organizations including restaurants, hotels, airlines, grocery store chains, and many other businesses.

“Businesses everywhere are challenged by not knowing the reasons why customers don’t come back to their establishment, other than telling the manager on the spot, which most people simply don’t do,” said Pieter de Villiers, CEO of Clickatell. “Customers everywhere carry cell phones which now can easily be used to provide honest customer feedback via simple text messaging in real time at the point of service. Dontgo’s innovative feedback service is a prime example of how businesses everywhere can leverage text messaging to better interact directly with their customers and improve the overall customer experience.”
