LifeName Offers Internet Users the Chance to Never Lose Touch Again
Have you ever had to change your email address and gone through the pain of contacting all of your correspondents, services, and frequented sites to change your identity? If you have, or if you have not because the task was too daunting, you understand the rational behind LifeName Inc.
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?"
