Chamber Announces “Portland, Maine” Application & High Traffic Deals
The Chamber is driving more business to our members.

The Portland Regional Chamber has just launched a new mobile application called “Portland, Maine” developed by Chamber member and Portland, Maine based software developer, Mowbi, LLC.  To view this site, visit www.portland.mowbi.com, or on most mobile phones go to www.portlandregion.com. The downloadable app will be available on iTunes and in the Android Market soon.

Portland Regional CEO, Godfrey Wood commented, “Recent data reveals that 16% of shoppers have used such “apps”, a huge increase over last year. We are thrilled to offer our Members and consumers this exciting opportunity to go “mobile”. Visitors, Portland-area residents, businesses and more will be able to locate and provide services to our Members in an exciting new way.

Our cutting edge mobile web site allows users to maximize their shopping experiences by searching under key categories of: Where to Eat, Shop, Stay, Things to Do, and Find a Business. Users will see a map, contact info, and driving directions. Users also have the option of searching for Chamber Members by name or by using the What’s Near Me? Button.”

Chamber Members can take advantage of the Mowbi Mobile Directory now. Through the directory, all Chamber members receive a free one page mobile website, which will act as an enhanced mobile directory listing for each entity, complete with vital company information such as directions, means of contact, and a corporate logo. Members are able to edit their landing pages at any time.

The Portland Chamber will soon also be offering the “Hot Deals” offering mobile users and website visitors the opportunity to take advantage of coupons and special deals that will create huge interest among shoppers, which in turn will drive traffic to Member’s organizations.

Through the Mowbi mobile directory, Chamber Members will also have more powerful commerce tools available that will allow them to take full advantage of the enormous opportunities that “going mobile” presents. Members can choose from a menu of options, such as Text Clubs, which facilitate opt-in Text Message Marketing; a Mobile Invoicing tool that allows businesses to use mobile phones to accept credit cards, create and send invoices, and a full scale Mobile Commerce Website, where consumers can purchase the member’s goods and services via mobile phone.
