Get REDFLY for $199

Thursday, September 25th, 2008

Celio Corp is running a seed unit program offering REDFLY to enterprise customers and individual users for just $199 - but only for a few weeks. That’s 50% off the normal MSRP of $399! After October 31, 2008 the price on the REDFLY will return to $399.

Why on earth are we doing this?

Well, a bunch of us were sitting around the conference room table early this week discussing how once someone actually tries a REDFLY for a few hours, they just don’t want to give it back. We also find that once someone has a REDFLY in their hands, they tend to do a lot of word-of-mouth marketing for us.

So, we thought, “Why don’t we take part of the marketing budget for a few weeks to subsidize a special seed program? That way we can get a large number of units out into the market, seed some mobile enthusiasts and get them to help spread the word by showing REDFLY to people.”

We’ve done just that. We have set aside a large (but very finite) number of REDFLYs for this special program. They’re sitting on palettes right now in the warehouse ready to ship.

To quote Matthew Miller, you may want to “run, don’t walk” and get one before we burn through the limited number of units for this special program.

REDFLY on the Road

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

REDFLY is the perfect size for air travel. This morning while on a long flight to New York, just as I turned on my REDFLY and started to get some work done, the gentleman in the seat in front of me dropped his seat back all the way. Previously, this would have made my work impossible with a 15-inch notebook, but the smaller 1×6x9-inch REDFLY allowed me to work in that cramped space with ease running applications and working on documents located my smartphone. Plus, I was able to use REDFLY to charge the battery on my smartphone while in flight and arrived 4 hours later at JFK with a full battery!

Upcoming Events

Monday, September 8th, 2008

Celio’s hitting the road to exhibit at two trade shows - CITA in San Francisco (September 10-12) and Mobile Business Expo (MBX) in New York (September 17-19). We’re excited to be at these shows and by the look of things, there are going to be a lot of people in attendance at both shows.

If you are in the neighborhood, drop by and say hi. We’ll have plenty of REDFLYs and smartphones for attendees to play with (including hopefully a few of the new Palm Treo Pros). You can enter at our booths for a chance to win a FREE REDFLY.

If you plan to attend one of the shows and would like your own REDFLY to use during the show, you can order one through our website and we’ll bring it to the show for you to pick up at our booth.

Go to http://www.getredfly.com and enter the promo codes “CTIA” or “MBX” upon checkout. You’ll need to give us a credit card number, but we won’t charge your card for 30 days giving you time to evaluate REDFLY during the tradeshow (or even longer). If you don’t want to keep your REDFLY, bring it back before the end of the show or mail it to us within 30 days and your card won’t be billed.

We hope to see you there.

Win a Free REDFLY and Smartphone!

Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008

Celio Corp has launched a monthly giveaway program where you can enter once each month to win both a free REDFLY Mobile Companion and your choice of any smartphone on our list of supported phones!

Right now, the contest is only open to U.S. residents. Each month’s winner gets a free REDFLY and also may select any smartphone on the supported list that is currently available for sale through a U.S. retail channel. We’ll go buy the phone (without a contract attached) and ship it to you along with the REDFLY. We support phones from all 4 major U.S. carriers (and some unlocked phones) so it should be easy for you to pick a phone that’s compatible with your current carrier and swap the new phone out for your old phone on your current plan if you win.

The next monthly drawing will be on September 10th so you’ve got just over a week to enter. Good luck!
