iZigg Review and Profile

iZigg remains active as a mobile marketing technology company, but its former MLM/direct-selling opportunity is no longer active.

Original Npros business profile for iZigg, preserved below for archival purposes:

iZigg was launched in 2010 as a mobile marketing company built around the growing use of SMS text messaging by businesses. The company was founded by Brian Underwood and David Liniado and became particularly associated with the memorable 90210 short code, which businesses could use to build subscriber lists and communicate with customers through text-message campaigns. In its early years, iZigg combined its mobile marketing technology with a network marketing sales model, recruiting independent agents to sell its SMS services to businesses and build organizations of other agents. Underwood served as CEO during the company's early MLM period, while Liniado was identified as co-CEO in company publicity from 2011.

The company's primary product was not a traditional consumer good but a business marketing service. Customers used iZigg's platform to send text promotions, coupons, alerts, announcements, and other marketing messages to consumers who opted into their campaigns. Independent agents promoted these services to restaurants, retailers, entertainment venues, salons, and other businesses. Historical descriptions of the opportunity indicate that agents paid approximately $99.95 annually to participate and that the compensation plan used a binary structure. Representatives could earn commissions from customer accounts and organizational sales, with minimum customer-volume requirements applying to commission qualification.
