ATD Marketing annouces the publishing of the "From Danville To..." Mobile App

April 5, 2012 - PRLog -- Danville, IL

ATD Marketing is pleased to announce the release of its first Mobile App for the Android, iPhone, Blackberry as well as Windows phone. This App is designed to be a community resource for those who live in the Danville, IL area.  The App, titled "From Danville To..." is downloadable from the Apple App store as well as Google Play.  Links to the download sites can be accessed on the smartphone at: http://atdmarketing.com/app/app_download.htm or one can text atdapps to 90210 and follow the links provided.

"From Danville To..." contains information about Vermilion County, IL as well as Fountain, Warren & Vermillion Counties in IN.  Here you will find information about parks, museums, cultural organizations, civic organizations, youth organizations, schools, churches and more.  This App will be a continually evolving project which will be adding information about the above subjects over time.

There are 6 current sponsors of "From Danville To..." which include: The City of Danville, Vermilion County, IL, Vermilion Advantage (Chamber of Commerce), Downtown Danville, Inc (Merchants' Association) and The Danville Area Visitor's and Convention Bureau as well as the creator, ATD Marketing.

There are also business listings for local businesses who are utilizing this new technology to market their business to the community using graphics, copy, video and other electronic media.  These businesses are offering specials to their customers and prospective customers using QR Coupons.  These specials are only available from the mobile App and not only offer customers discounts but give the business utilizing them a trackable marketing program which allows them to know just how well the program is working.

The employment of the QR Coupons also allows the business to develop a customer loyalty program by requiring that the codes be scanned multiple times in order to access the discount.  Thus bringing the customer back into the business multiple times to make multiple purchases in order to receive the discounts offered.

The App also includes an events section where local businesses and organizations can list the activities being held at their location in hopes of increasing participation and attendance at the events. All non-profit organizations can have their activities listed at no charge and participating businesses can also have their events listed for a very small charge.  Non-participating businesses can also have their events listed at a slightly higher rate than participating ones.

Any non-profit organization and/or public school can have a listing at no charge.  Churches in the area can have their name, address and phone number listed by affiliation at no charge and can have pictures, service times, Pastor information, etc. listed for a very small yearly charge.

The App can be previewed at: http://atdmarketing.com/preview/default.htm.  Just follow the instructions on the page and you will be able to preview the App prior to downloading, if you wish.  If a business or organization wishes to be listed in the "From Danville To..." mobile App they can fill out the proper form on this page and submit it and some one from ATD Marketing will contact them to finalize the details.
