youRoom Blog

We are released new features!

You can set order of your rooms on home view

We have released new mobile(iPhone/Android) view on web.

We have just released two new features.
It should be helpful to you.
Please check it out.

You can use your Facebook account for youRoom.
 First, you can invite your friends to youRoom using Facebook account.
 Second, you can upgrade to fanplan using Facebook account too!

 Now, we can use not only Twitter account but also Facebook account.
 Let's try this feature.


We have increased character limit  "140" →　"280"
 In Japanese, 140 character limit is enough,
 but in English the limit is too small.
 (Because, Japanese  is an ideogram,
  but English(alphabet) is a phonogram.)
 
 We tried to make some same meaning phrases in English and also in Japanese.
 We counted the number of characters of each phase.
 The average length of English phrases is twice of Japanese phrases.
 
 We hope this feature help your communication more freely.

Are you a facebook user?
Does facebook satisfy your needs ?

Slap Start said that

but it's not a perfect one.

So we want to have some options.
One of new option is youRoom!!
 youRoom: Real life social network@Slap Start

Hi, all!
How have you been?

At the last entry, we reported about our first step of promotion 
that we submitted some mails, then "youRoom" was reviewed by "The next web".
 http://youroom.in/blog/2011/02/take-the-first-step-toward-a-worldwide-service.html

This time, we will write about the promotional phrases for new service.

【Three types of new service promotion】
Before we submitted the mails, we thought deeply about the
promotional phrases.
We thought that the phrases should be "news".
  ・something new and fascinating
  ・different from others

How can we tell people youRoom's newsworthy points efficiently?
We discussed about it,
then we got three types of "news", at last.

[1]It has a new feature that people have never seen.
   It has a innovative idea.

    →In this type:
      We should explain about the feature and the idea.
      It's very simple.


[2]It has no new features,
   but the concept is different from others.

    →In this type:
      we should choose only one concept,
      and extend or disagree with some existing ideas.

    →This time, we chose this type.
      The phrases for "youRoom":
        Social media became a base environment for us,
        we no longer imagine the life without it.
        But, do the existing tools really fit for business?
        Isn't it risky to share your photo of
        your bachelor party with your customer?
        youRoom offers you the environment
        that you can achieve the "real" business.
        We respect social media,but we took a new idea
        different from existings and created the new tool
        that makes social media more efficient
        for your business,working style,and life.
        Our main concept is "Creating a new collaboration style
        and new working style".


[3]It has no new features and no new concepts
   (there are some similar services in the world),
   but the quality is high.

    →In this type:
      We should make a "news" in marketing activity.
      For example, new price system, price down, campaign and so on.


How do you think about it?
 We are not marketing professionals,
 so looking forward to your feedback.

See you!

"youRoom" is a service from Japan.
We want many people in the world to know "youRoom".
So we made a team for overseas marketing last December.

Now we are in a process of trial and error,
because we are not marketing professionals.

We think our trial-and-error will be a useful information
to other entrepreneurs or service owners.


Our first Step is ・・・
TheNextWeb reviewed our service
and posted an article about "youRoom" in their site.
