PROVO, Utah, May 8, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via PRWEB - WakeUpNow, a social distribution company based in Provo, Utah, founded in 2009, today announced it has surpassed the 100,000-customer mark.
WakeUpNow has gained traction by offering high quality digital, physical, and consumable products that are priced aggressively to compete with the general market. The e-commerce platform gives independent distributors the ability to earn commissions for sharing products with others.
"It's been exciting to see the explosive growth of our customer base," said President of WakeUpNow Jason Elrod. "Our customers are motivated and passionate about the products we offer and they are sharing that enthusiasm with others."
One of WakeUpNow's most popular products is Thunder, a nutritional energy drink boasting only 10 calories and an infusion of antioxidants and healthy energy. Sales of Thunder have exceeded expectations. The initial factory production of Thunder sold out ahead of projections in April 2014. A shipment featuring a new can design arrives mid-May. Customers can also expect additional energy drink flavors to be added to the line later this year.
"Our goal has always been to put the highest quality products in the hands of our customers," said Chief Executive Officer Kirby Cochran. "Thunder has shown the world that energy drinks can be both healthy and affordable. We plan to disrupt numerous other product categories in a similar fashion in the near future."
The digital offerings from WakeUpNow include WUN Finance (a personal financial management app), WUN Speak (language learning software), WUN Local (providing discounts at local business), WUN Protect (providing online identity theft protection and computer security services), WUN Vacation Club (providing wholesale pricing on hotels, timeshares, and cruises), and more. These products deliver customers tangible benefits and measurable savings.
In addition to its digital offerings, WakeUpNow has seen a positive response to the Dealstream, which brings high-quality brand-name products to WakeUpNow customers at discounted prices. From home furnishing to consumer electronics, customers are finding many of the products they already buy at exciting prices.
WakeUpNow utilizes a direct sales model to distribute its products and services. While many direct sales companies focus on recruiting, requiring distributors to buy start-up packages, and marking up prices to cover commission costs; WakeUpNow focuses on making its products and services available to everyone at prices competitive to general market while also paying commissions for those sales. Individuals that are interested in participating as independent distributors may do so at no cost.
To meet the steep trajectory of growth, in the past 18 months, WakeUpNow has apportioned a substantial amount of its revenue and other capital to improving its ability to scale and expand its business lines. These capital expenditures have been allocated to increasing its employee base, broadening its management team, developing proprietary nutritional and digital products, creating physical inventories of consumable products, and further developing its proprietary back office software platform and an e-commerce platform.
"We are building the foundation and infrastructure of WakeUpNow to become a global, iconic company," said Elrod. "Our investment into our products and corporate operations is paving the way to support our exponential growth. WakeUpNow will be a legacy company."
