Open for Business: Reachmodo LLC

Reachmodo LLC
After two years in development and operating under a different moniker, founder Matthew Ennis moved his multichannel marketing service into The eFactory on May 15 and rebranded as Reachmodo LLC. Ennis, along with business partner Tyler Headley, signed a one-year lease for 150 square feet at 405 N. Jefferson Ave., Ste. 1011. Reachmodo software manages five marketing channels – text messages, email, social media, instant messaging and voice broadcasts – within a single platform. In April, Ennis left his position as vice president of business development for Springfield-based nonprofit Rainbow Network to focus full time on the venture. He said clients, including Branson-based Northwoods Candy and Donny Bryant Massage Therapy in Springfield, have been beta-testing the system since January. The cost is $50 to $220 per month, based on features and volume. While most business is conducted virtually or on-site, Ennis said the small business-incubator office fosters collaboration with other entrepreneurs. Hours: By appointment. Phone: (800) 651-9359.
