Monster Arts Super App "Travel America Visitor Guide (TAVG)" Launches on iPhone, adds 88 New Business Partners in 12 Week


(ACCESSWIRE (Canada) Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Category: Baystreet Newswire Company: Monster Arts ID: 417993 Date: Thursday, July 17, 2014 Ticker: OTC:BB:APPZ Smartphone app for popular travel destination website now available on iPhone Orange County, Calif. / ACCESSWIRE / July 17, 2014 / Travel America Visitor Guide (TAVG), a division of Monster Arts, Inc. (OTCQB: APPZ), today announces the availability of its companion TAVG travel destination directory Smartphone app for purchase and use on the iPhone. This announcement follows on the heels of TAVG’s recent success in signing up 88 new exclusive clients/partners to recurring annual business membership relationships, including several national chain hotels and casinos, which includes placement in TAVG’s mobile optimized Internet Website and Smartphone App membership directory and participation in mobile marketing programs.



In addition to lodging and hospitality-oriented clients such as Trump International Beach Resort Miami, a wide range of other types of businesses such as restaurants, ski and jet ski rentals, auto repair shops, spas, salons and gift shops – just to name a few! -- are also encouraged to join and become members of the exclusive group of TAVG clients. And unlike the situations involving competitors such as Yelp, Trip Advisor, or Google Places, TAVG benefits are exclusive to its paying members. As a result, TAVG members only compete with other paying members for business from the mobile device optimized website membership directory, in this way limiting their competition and maximizing their exposure.

Popular features of Travel America Visitor Guide for both clients and travelers using the site and apps now include: - Exclusive business listings in the fast growing TAVG directory (both on the mobile device, optimized website and in the associated Smartphone app); - Mobile device, optimized website functions as an online business directory that is searchable by category, keyword, location and more, and also features participant profiles that contain not only descriptive business information, but also pictures, videos, links to members’ social media pages and websites, as well as turn-by-turn directions for the consumer/user based on GPS enhanced technology; - Upon becoming new members, clients receive welcome kits with window decals (displaying their membership status); - Access to complimentary marketing programs and related support; members have the opportunity to manage their own mobile marketing campaigns through their associated administrative accounts, update – in real time -- their profile data, approve user comments, upload and manage placement of Internet and mobile advertising banners, evaluate data and extensive analytics regarding app usage, and choose from a variety of other advertising options; - New tools such as the recently added TAVG Travel Receipt Tracker (currently AndroidOS only), which assists travelers with their record keeping/budgeting; more specifically, the improved app now comes with enhanced technology for storing and archiving receipts, tracking vehicle mileage and other maintenance tools (all compatible and exportable to Intuit’s Quickbooks, Google Docs, or Microsoft Office Excel); and - The travel app is also loaded with a new Roadside/Insurance Card Tender (for quick help in those sticky situations relating to vehicle breakdowns and accidents), as well as links to 3 popular game developer catalogs for convenient, quick downloading of TAVG-approved games (great for keeping traveler minds engaged and fresh on those long trips).
