Peter Michaels, President and CEO of Hop-on, states, "Hop-on is a small company, we are not Wall Street Financed, we are not currently profitable but we compete with Fortune 500 Companies. If I do my job right, we will be in the black this calendar year! This is why we are committed to go after these huge venues. This is a huge risk, we believe in our products."



Michaels also stated, "Our goal at these events is to gain further exposure so that our phone simply becomes an effective method of marketing and business for Hop-on and our corporate partners. For the consumer it is a disposable, low-cost phone that simply makes and receives calls. We have received an overwhelming amount of interest since the introduction of this phone earlier this summer. Our phone has literally sold itself. The HOP1800 has clear sound, technology components including a flashlight, and a design comparable to any mid-tier cell phone on the market for a fraction of the cost."

With a large, bright screen with large text that is easy to read and bigger buttons that are easy to push, dialing and making calls is easier than ever. The ChitterChatter phone is specific for ease of use for seniors. Michaels also stated, "The ChitterChatter for Seniors will bring our company a monthly recurring revenue stream".
