The Exclusive Rolls Royce Owners App Is WhatsApp for the Super Rich

There are numerous perks that include shopping for a Rolls Royce, you get that feeling of superiority over different street customers, a elaborate illuminated headliner that displays the evening sky and a neat umbrella hidden in the door. Apparently, there’s one other perk, although, and it’s an unique app on which you can also make pals and shut enterprise offers. Cute.

The app, which is named Whispers, has been round since 2019 and is accessible to anybody that owns a Rolls Royce from 2003 or later. But, for those who personal a a lot newer mannequin from 2018 or later, AutoCar studies that customers get all method of network-building options.

According to a brand new report from the website, Rolls Royce Whispers has grown far past its providing at launch, which included issues like concierge help, previews of unique luxurious items, procuring, and occasions listings. Now, it’s principally WhatsApp for the tremendous wealthy. AutoCar studies:

Alexander Steinbrueck, Whispers operations supervisor at Rolls-Royce, mentioned: “We are a facilitator. [Clients] speak to one another. Whispers is just not a company communications channel.

“[Clients] meet on Whispers. They go on vacation together. It just shows how homogeneous this group of people is. In the business aspect, I know of a customer in the financial industry who I had a phone call with. For him, it’s a great source of making business connections with other like-minded people. He says it couldn’t be a better filter or selection of people, and he uses it very often.”

Whispers reportedly now has 20,000 customers, which is in stark distinction to the 2.98 billion Facebook profiles, 450 million Twitter X customers, and the 135 million people who go to Tumblr each month.

Despite its comparatively small variety of customers, Rolls Royce believes the app has been profitable as a result of “ultra-high-net-worth clients know and understand one another’s mindsets and the issues and challenges they face.” Things like what to do when their umbrella will get caught in the door, or whether or not or not they drive round with the Spirit of Ecstasy on show, I think about.

It’s cute, however does get a bit of cringe when Rolls Royce begins referring to its firm and purchasers as “family,” as customers of the app are making “newfound friends” and forging “new relationships.” But I suppose I’m simply bitter as a result of I do know it’s the solely social media platform I’ll by no means get to strive. Well, this and Truth Social.
