Jitterbug® in Graphite, shows Strong First Quarter Sales
All of the Simplicity of Jitterbug in a Sleek, Color Alternative to the Original White
Del Mar, Calif. – February 11, 2008 – Jitterbug today announced an overwhelming
response to its launch of Jitterbug in Graphite by retail partners and customers alike, with
first quarter results topping 45% of sales. The Company launched Jitterbug in Graphite in
November, 2007 in time for the busy holiday shopping season and just concluded its first
3 months on the market.
“Jitterbug in Graphite provides a color choice for customers, both men and women, who
prefer a darker, sleeker-looking cell phone. We are pleased with how well the market has
responded to our newest offering for Jitterbug,” said David Inns, Jitterbug Chief
Executive Officer.
Jitterbug works with world leader Samsung to make its phones, the Jitterbug Dial and the
Jitterbug OneTouch. Jitterbug Graphite is available in Dial only. All Jitterbug phones are
simple and include friendly, helpful service and affordable plans that don’t require contracts.
A powerful speaker and a patented ear cushion reduce background noise and make
Jitterbug sound loud and clear. Bigger, backlit buttons and brighter text are easy to see.
User friendly navigation without any confusing icons or menus helps make Jitterbug easy
to use.
Personal service is the hallmark of Jitterbug with live, friendly 24-hour operators who
greet customers by name, make phone calls, provide directory assistance and add names
to customers’ private phone lists. And, Jitterbug features can be turned on and off so each
customer gets a Jitterbug with only what he/she wants and nothing more.
Affordable service starts at just $10 a month with no long distance or roaming fees and
never a contract. There are also no penalties for switching plans.
