FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Oceanside Chamber Mobile App Will Help the Community Stay Connected
Mobile App users can find local businesses and stay connected with news, events, and exclusive discounts

Oceanside – To deliver more value to members, and the community, The Oceanside Chamber is excited to announce the launch of its new Mobile App. It is already live and can be downloaded now; it will help community members:

•   Find members in the Chamber’s directory
•   Search and register for Events
•   Stay up to date on community News
•   View and redeem Special Discounts

“In today’s tech-focused world, we realized a mobile app is a great way for us to connect our local businesses with the community using technology” Scott Ashton, Director of Sales and Marketing, said. “Our new mobile app will deliver tremendous value to not only our members, but also the community as a whole. We see this mobile app becoming a destination for mobile internet users seeking information about the Oceanside area.”

The Oceanside Chamber Mobile App is a smart investment today, and it will continue to benefit the community for years to come.  According to the Nielsen Company, not only will half of Americans own a smartphone capable of using web apps by Christmas of this year, but smartphones will be the majority stakeholder in the U.S. cell phone market.  This means by next year, half of Americans will have access to phones and portable devices capable of accessing mobile web.  The Oceanside Chamber plans to be there to meet them.

If you’re still not sure mobile web is the real deal, in a report by The Nielsen Group it is stated by 2015, 2.7 billion people will access mobile web via smartphones and portable devices.  This means mobile web will overtake desktop internet as the most popular online tool.

“We’re very excited,” Ashton said. “Our new mobile app will give our members valuable exposure to countless potential customers.  This means no matter where people are, or what they’re doing – they will have access to information about Oceanside, and our members.”

The Oceanside Chamber Mobile App is free to users, and available on iPhone, iPad, Android, and Blackberry platforms. To download, visit the Chamber’s website – www.oceansidechamber.com/mobile  using your smartphone or mobile device.
