The Chamber's Got an App for That!

The Greater Fort Wayne Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with MetroMedia, will launch the FortWayneChamber2Go Smartphone App, for iPhone, Android and mobile web for Blackberry and other devices on February 24. The goal of the FortWayneChamber2Go app is to help on-the-go individuals by putting this valuable tool right in the palm of the user’s hand.

“We are very excited to be one of the first chambers in the Indiana to offer this free mobile chamber app,” said Mike Landram, President and CEO. “This app is not only geared towards our members, but it is truly something that can be enjoyed by residents and visitors.  The app will benefit the entire Fort Wayne community.”

The Chamber will host a free informational session on the app on February 24 from noon-1 p.m. Complimentary lunch will be provided to all who register in advance at fwchamber.org/events.

The FortWayneChamber2Go app features the following:

• Online business directory of Chamber members and geo-location and mapping technology
• Touch to call option
• Chamber calendar of events
• Community calendar of festivals and events
• Special text offers from member businesses
• QR code scanner
• “Near Me” button which shows sponsored business listings near the user
• Inventory Listings for members such as realtors and automotive dealers

Chamber members also have the opportunity to upgrade their listings to be featured on the business landing page. 

“All chamber member businesses receive a free listing, and with more smartphones in the marketplace, we saw the importance to promote our members to this audience,” says Landram. “I think everyday users will also enjoy The Chamber and community calendar of events which will keep them in the know on fun events.”
