The North Little Rock Chamber of Commerce Launches FREE iPhone Chamber App: The Chamber Connect

 NORTH LITTLE ROCK, AR (Dec. 9, 2011) – The North Little Rock Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with Mass Enthusiasm, is excited to announce the launch of its new, FREE iPhone Chamber Application, The Chamber Connect, designed specifically for the Chamber.

This user-friendly, stand-alone app provides members mobile access to their Chamber with one touch, anytime, anywhere, from their handheld iPhone Smartphone.  Chambers nationwide are continually searching for ways of expanding networking opportunities for their members, as well as attracting new members. These app programs serve as a recruitment tool to reward both current and new members.

 “We are very excited to be one of the first chambers in the Central Arkansas area to offer a free mobile chamber app,” said Terry Hartwick, President & CEO. “This app is not only geared towards our members, but it is truly something that can be enjoyed by both residents and visitors.”

The Chamber Connect app features the following:

· Online business directory of chamber members

· Touch to call option

· Chamber calendar of events & rsvp

· Special deal offers from member businesses

Chamber members also have the opportunity to upgrade their listing to be a featured sponsor on the business landing page and offer special exclusive deal offers. For additional information, please contact Kenda Ford or Julie Fisher at 501.372.5959 or e-mail kenda@nlrchamber.org, julie@nlrchamber.org.

 “All chamber member businesses receive a free listing, and with more smartphones in the marketplace we saw the importance to promote our members to this audience,” said Hartwick. “I think everyday users will also enjoy the Chamber calendar of events which will keep them in the know on events like our monthly F.Y.I Luncheons, committee meetings and more.”

The Chamber expects to add more features to the app and be available for Android users in the future.

How to get the app:
• iPhone users, search “North Little Rock Chamber“ in the app store
