Chamber of Commerce rolls out location-based small business app

Chamber of Commerce business members now have a new tool at their disposal: a location-based marketing application.

Chambers of Commerce across the country are rolling out the MyChamberApp, available for the iPhone, Android and BlackBerry operating systems, which uses location-based technology to help local businesses attract consumers. Developers are also working on a mobile Web site that will offer the same services and work on 99 percent of handsets.

“Our strategy is to simply help small businesses and Chambers of Commerce as much as possible by applying the power of the mobile Internet,” said Skyler Sutton, cofounder of MyChamberApp, Los Angeles. “We feel that [mobile] is the area that offers the greatest room for improvement in daily life.”

A.D.A.M. (App Dev and Mktg) developed the technology that powers the application. It is a mobile development company that specializes in directory-based applications.

The MyChamberApp was distributed to Chambers of Commerce by ChamberMasters and Target Marketing/SouthComm Publishing.

Baxter, MN-based ChamberMasters develops management software for Chambers of Commerce around the country, and Target Marketing/SouthComm Publishing, Crescent Springs, KY, fulfills publishing needs of affiliated Chambers of Commerce.
