500 customers!

by Peldi Guilizzoni. October 1st, 2008 under Branding / Marketing, Company / Business — 6 Comments

I just sold a license to my 500th customer!

That’s a much bigger number that I expected to reach in such a short time (it’s been less than 3 and 1/2 months since I launched), but so far I don’t feel that it has impacted my ability to provide customer service at the level I want to (here are some quotes, I have more to add).

Some of the customers you might be familiar with:

• the US Senate
• Microsoft Mac Business Unit
• Intuit
• Adobe Systems, Inc.
• Autodesk
• DropBox
• Atlassian
• Xerox Corporation
• US Airways
• e-MDs
• PR Newswire
• Wells Fargo Bank
• Warwick Business School
• Iowa State University
• Newcastle University
• I Love Rewards Inc.
• Directi
• Brunner
• Fuel Interactive

I am also very happy to have donated over 125 licenses to do-gooders so far. Some names you might recognize include:

• Kiva
• WWF Australia
• Harvard University
• Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute
• The Indiana Foster Care Adoption Association
• LDS Church
• Rady Children’s Hospital
• GoSustainable
• Penguin’s “World Without Books” program
• Boy Scouts of America
• KQED / Quest
• Amnesty International NL

(a longer list is on my customers page)

I also donated over 140 licenses to bloggers and mavens, and it’s definitely paying off: Mockups has been reviewed 233 times so far!

Ok, back to work, so much to do, so little time. Onward!

   It shouldn’t be a surprise! We bought three licenses last week and you should see the work we have been able to crank out!

   This is one of the best products we have seen in quite a while that really does make us more productive. We love the concept, interface and how easy it is to get our Flex work done once we have a sketch.

   Keep up the great work!

   I wonder if i’m the 500th? i just bought my license today, before i had been using it on demo mode and exporting the xml, going to your demo on the site importing and then exporting to png a bit hacky i know…but i finally got tired and decided to buy. Plus the fact that i just got a couple projects that need this and therefore got the cash to buy it!.

   Nice work peldi and congrats.
