Thompson Okanagan Tourism Extends Reach to Mobile Users With Time to Mobile’s App-Less Solution

March 30, 2012 - PRLog -- Kelowna, British Columbia – April 2, 2012

Thompson Okanagan Tourism Association (TOTA) has deployed an optimized mobile website using Time to Mobile’s (TTM) solution under license to Web Mobilized Media Inc. to provide a user friendly experience for mobile users.

“We are always on the look out for new technology that will bring value to our stakeholders, extending our reach and visibility to visitors, for tourism based businesses in the Thompson Okanagan region,” said Glenn Mandziuk, CEO, TOTA.  “We view the Thompson Okanagan Mobile Visitor Guide as an important digital marketing channel for us”.

Time to Mobile’s technology gives smart phone and tablet users an easy and intuitive way to find activities and businesses of interest by city, by activity, by GPS – what’s around me - and through the search bar.

“The app-less TTM solution gives immediate reach to all smart phone and tablet users independent of the mobile operating system, all the various phone and tablet models available on the market today and in the future”, said Brent Lachman, VP Engineering, “It also means you don’t waste time and money on creating 3 apps, for each of the major smart phones, nor on marketing to users to download the app”.

TTM’s app-less approach means all enhancements and content updates are immediately available to all mobile users.  This relieves a lot of management time and cost for TOTA, further enhancing the return on the marketing investment.

TOTA is also realizing new revenue streams generated through the Thompson Okanagan Mobile Visitor Guide, giving TOTA an investment recovery model and new funds to support other marketing efforts.
