Greetings Respondrs!
To warm up your bank accounts during winter, we’ve expanded to a new district! While we begin our phased rollout, your first new opportunities will be available at Newton Ave. The prospect of wintery weather has also inspired our R&D team, so we’re happy to unveil the revolutionary new Ice Acceleratr! It’s rapid freezing technology can suppress fire, give you a foothold in dangerous situations, and protect clients and valuables when upgraded!
Plus, we’ve partnered with Appbulance to provide another new outfit to help your clients feel safe, and remind them of our 10% cross promotion with the premier app based medical ride share service!
Learn more in our brand new promotional video!
Here’s a full rundown of what’s in today’s update.
New District 2 Neighborhood - Newton Ave
Embr is expanding to a new and (more) upscale neighborhood, featuring rich(er) and corporate clients! Now is your opportunity to make more money, starting with Newton Ave. In District 2, you can expect a variety of security systems from Defendr™, who reached 100% market share due to its success in late night infomercials. In Newton Ave., you’ll get a first taste of upscale security with the keycard system.
The Ice Acceleratr
The revolutionary Ice Acceleratr might just be the most versatile firefighting gear we’ve ever engineered. The rapid freezing technology creates a protective shell of supercooled ice that is great for firefighting, creative scaling, and cooling clients down. Get yours before it sells out, and don’t forget to pickup some upgrades to be the coolest Respondr in town!
Appbulance Shirt & Headgear
The new Appbulance sponsored shirt and headgear is all about providing excellent client service. Rescue clients faster and firmer, and be rewarded with extra tips!
And that’s only the start. We’ll be releasing our Holiday Update in December, with a brand new mini-campaign, new tool, and a holiday outfit! Stay tuned Respondrs.
