We are rapidly moving from an era in which businesses were clicked upon to one in which businesses are touched. Researchers at Apple have demonstrated that most iPhone users are no longer using Web browsing as a way to locate information, but are USING APPS! Given an app’s ability to maximize a wireless user’s experience within a small-screen environment, we can expect the era of TOUCH to grow and grow.

Seamless Integration with Google Maps

One of the most useful features to visitors to any given town/resort is the ability to locate businesses of interest via a Google map. Your business’ exact location is instantly to any user, even under conditions of no wireless access or WiFi availability! (Click the image to the left to view it larger.)

Current Weather and Ski Conditions

RichLaur iPhone apps possess more user-friendly features than any other resort/town app. Weather conditions (and ski, surf, etc. conditions) are instantly available via the Main Menu buttons at screen bottom. Users receive the latest weather from a Weather Channel inset localized to the given town/resort. (Click the image to the left to view it larger.)

In-APP Tip Calculator

iPhone app users love extra functionality that’s been thoughtfully implemented within a given app. Our Tip Calculator allows for rounding off of tips to the nearest $0.25, $0.50, $1.00 and also supports instant division of total tab and total by the number of paying parties in any dining situation.

AUDIO / EMAIL / MAP / PHONE / WEB / VIDEO

Every business listing provides convenient access (via easy-to-understand buttons) to that business’ location, website, telephone connection and Email messaging. Platinum-level businesses also can feature complementary voice-over and video to create an even greater media-rich impact upon user’s searching for their services.

Leverage the Power of VIDEO

Any video placed on YouTube can be displayed via the Video button located within a business’ ad. Over the next several years wireless networks are projected to become dramatically faster, allowing for immediate playback of any video content designed to enhance a viewer’s interest in your business.

Best Features of any Travel APP!

• Platinum-level advertisers can post Specials (e.g., “Free Appetizer with Cocktail today from 4 til 6!”). App users are “push notified” of every new posting.
• We also intend to allow resort and town APP users to declare “iPartyZones” (e.g., “Meet up at Honga’s for apres-ski bash at 4 today!!”)
• Additional features under development will allow users to post reviews of area businesses and upload their favorite resort/town photos
