World Moto: Yes™ Delivers Revenues From First International Franchise
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Mar 10, 2014) - World Moto, Inc. (OTCBB:FARE) (OTCQB:FARE) (BERLIN: WM7) (BERLIN: A1J8SY) ("World Moto" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has completed its first international franchise agreement for Yes™ services. Changing the way the world goes around, World Moto is a global authority on the $500 billion dollar a year motorcycle taxi industry and inventor of the Moto-Meter™, Wheelies™, and Yes™.
World Moto recently signed an international franchise agreement with Mobile Advertising Ventures to operate Yes™ retail delivery services in Kuala Lampur, Malaysia. Under the terms of the agreement, Mobile Advertising Ventures will pay the Company $25,000 USD plus a percentage of all revenue generated through deliveries within the Malaysian capital for a Yes™ fleet franchise privilege within the municipal limits. In addition to the rights to use the Yes™ trademark and the license to use the Yes™ software platform, the agreement grants Mobile Advertising Ventures the option to advertise Yes™ related products and services by equipping a dedicated fleet of motorcycle delivery vehicles with any Wheelies displays they now own or may acquire in the future.
Yes™ dispatch and convenience platforms leverage public convenience stores and strategically located distribution outlets to deliver refreshments, personal and childcare products, stationery, and other necessities anywhere in the service area in less than 15 minutes. Customers order through an easy to use application on a mobile phone, and it is anticipated that international franchisees will benefit from tourists and business professionals who travel throughout the region and prefer the convenience of using a familiar retail delivery service.
Kuala Lumpur is the capital of Malaysia and is home to approximately 7.2 million people that live in the greater metropolitan area which covers nearly 100 square miles. With an average household annual income of approximately $31,600 USD in 2013, it is one of the wealthiest cities in the region. While there are no formal, regulated motorcycle taxi services in Malaysia, motorcycles account for nearly half of the 21.5 million vehicles in the country, and motorcycles are commonly used for all types of food delivery services.
World Moto CEO Paul Giles stated, "While everyone understands the basic premise of motorcycle delivery, idea that you can travel to another region, know nothing about the local area, possibly not speak the language, and still get the same necessities you get back home in less than 15 minutes simply by using the same, familiar app on your phone is striking a chord with everyone to whom we have spoken. Globalization and easy mobility have created a huge market that is currently devoid of any internationally branded competition, and we anticipate Yes™ will fill that huge void."
A video demonstrating this technology is forthcoming.
