2017 has arrived! It has been a full year since we launched our Ripl Pro subscription service with premium features for small business marketers everywhere. This week we reached the 12-month anniversary for some of the first Ripl Pro customers out there. For those of you who have been with us throughout 2016, we want to open the new year by saying Thank You!
From the very start, it has been your ambition and drive as small business owners and managers that has inspired us. Every day we marvel at the creativity which you display in using our app and Pro service. Our Content Design team builds new interactive video designs for Ripl with direct feedback daily from you. Our Engineering team reads every Feedback email which you send to us – and we prioritize bug fixes and service improvements based on what will help you succeed faster with your social media marketing efforts. Our CEO, Paul Ingalls, reminds us often that small businesses are the lifeblood of entrepreneurialism and innovation around the world. You – our Ripl customers – provide thousands of reasons each day for us to keep improving the Ripl product and service.

Now that it has, all of us here at Ripl feel a sense of excitement and responsibility to keep up the momentum.
