In response to the increasing need of several clients to send news alerts to their customers,
E-Shop embarked on the development of a new and innovative vehicle to transmit instant notifications to thousands of recipients in a manner that would be faster, less expensive and more efficient than traditional email alerts.

Current methods of delivering “alerts” are slow and ineffective. While “non-electronic” methods of updating such as daily newspapers and fax are slow and costly, even existing electronic methods of delivery are insufficient. Thus, for example, e-mail “alerts” sent simultaneously to mass numbers of subscribers are prone to:
• Inconsistent delivery due to blocks imposed by ISPs
• Inadvertent sending to user’s junk mail
• Inadvertent deletion by user spam filters
• Inadvertent deletion by end users
• Lag time between sending email to a large numbers of users until the time they are opened.
