BBV Chamber Unveils New Mobile Application

The Bentonville/Bella Vista Chamber of Commerce is bringing a new level of technology and service to its members with the launch of a mobile application.

The chamber has partnered with MetroMedia on a new smartphone app, BBVChamber2Go, to accommodate iPhone and Android phones, as well as mobile web for Blackberry and other devices.

“We are very excited to be one of the first chambers in Northwest Arkansas to offer a free mobile chamber app,” said Tammy Thurow, the chamber’s vice president of marketing. “This app is not only geared towards our members, but it is truly something that can be enjoyed by residents and visitors as well.”

The app, available for free download, offers a number of features including an interactive member directory with geo-location and mapping technology, touch-to-call option, chamber calendar of events, community calendar of festivals and events, special text offers from member businesses and QR scanner.

Chamber members can also upgrade their listing to be featured on the business landing page. All chamber member businesses will receive a free listing.

“With more smartphones in the marketplace,” Thurow said, “we saw the importance to promote our members to this audience.”
