Telecommunications innovator Vonex Limited ("Vonex" or the "Company") (ASX: VN8) is pleased to advise of marketing and sales progress across its Retail and Wholesale businesses, having recently surpassed 33,000 registered active subscribers to its cloud-based phone system platform.

Registered users of these Private Branch Exchange ("PBX") connections are a key indicator of business development progress as Vonex penetrates the multibillion-dollar Australian market for telco services to small and medium enterprises ("SMEs").

The Company is pleased to advise that Qantas Business Rewards ("QBR") customers have accounted for more than half of the new customers Vonex has attracted since Vonex launched its partnership with QBR in mid-August 2019. In addition to stimulating active user and revenue growth, the rewards alliance has improved the quality of Vonex's book of business, attracting longer-term contracts of typically three years rather than two, and higher minimum spend commitments of typically $30 to $50 per user per month. With a commensurate uplift in average revenue per user ("ARPU"), Vonex achieved $1.64 million in total contract value of new customer sales in the September quarter, a quarter-on-quarter increase of 25%.

The Company continues to explore innovative methods of driving business growth, implementing a revamped digital marketing strategy in August 2019. There has been an immediate impact in engagement, delivering a 29% increase in leads generated in September from ad campaigns targeting channel partners and end customers. The Company is pleased to note it has achieved these results in tandem with a 6% reduction in marketing spend.

"We are pleased to see our key success metrics of user growth, new sales and total contract value all continuing to trend positively. This reflects the strength of our proposition to new and existing business customers, and reinforces the value of our alignment with Qantas, which presents significant ongoing growth potential.

We are now reaping the benefits of having revitalised our marketing campaigns in recent months, and have built a solid platform for sustainable growth in our Retail business."
