Webinvoke

Deliver your web content through Email

About Webinvoke

Webinvoke is a hosted tool that allows you to deliver your web content via email. It is the perfect addition to your email newsletter (allowing users to retrieve materials without ever opening a web browser) as well as a valuable new service for your web site. It can be set up in a day or two and improve your access to hard-to-reach audiences.

Millions of people globally have good access to e-mail but limited access to the web. High telecom costs or poor infrastructure limit web usage in parts of Europe and Latin America, and nearly all developing countries. The answer to reaching these millions of new users? Webinvoke.

Webinvoke is a hosted "emailback" service that allows users to request web materials be sent to them as e-mail attachments. Webinvoke offers sophisticated management tools that give it considerable flexibility suitable for any organization. Store all your resources (HTML, PDF, zipped files, anything) on your web site and, with no extra effort, make it available via email as well.

Webinvoke works well in parallel to an organization's e-mail newsletters -- close the loop with your readers by allowing them to read about and then retrieve your web resources via email. Webinvoke is an easy-to-implement tool that gives your users another path to your content - one that is cheap and reliable for them and has no marginal cost to you.

What People are Saying

"Over the last 9 months almost 5000 users from more than 90 countries used the Webinvoke system to get documents by email. We estimate that about 43 percent were in developing countries. The system has proven to be an effective way to serve the needs of users that have e-mail but limited access to the web."
