The Austin Museum Day 2012 Mobile Guide is a great example of what can be accomplished when the subject-matter expertise of an organization like the Austin Museum Partnership is empowered by an easy-to-use software product like Immediatag.
Austin, Texas (PRWEB) September 21, 2012
The Austin Museum Partnership (AMP), a non-profit consortium of Austin-area museums, and Immediatag, LLC, developer of the Immediatag mobile tagging platform for business, are excited to announce the launch of the Austin Museum Day 2012 Mobile Guide. The Mobile Guide is a free mobile-optimized website designed to help museum visitors plan their Museum Day 2012 activities on the go.
As in past years, AMP is promoting Austin Museum Day with an insert in the Austin American-Statesman, the leading Austin daily newspaper. But this year, given the popularity of mobile devices, AMP decided to supplement the print insert with a mobile guide that allows visitors to plan their day using a smartphone or tablet. For assistance, they turned to Immediatag.
The official Austin Museum Day 2012 Mobile Guide features:
-- A guide homepage that serves as the main portal for exploring the participating institutions and the activities available throughout the day.
-- Individual category pages presenting participating institutions in smaller groups designed to appeal to visitors looking for specific types of activities (e.g., activities for kids, activities at night or outside, activities close to where they live).
-- Access via a direct link (http://amp.immediatag.com/museum-day-2012-mobile-guide or http://goo.gl/jLC5p) or via a QR code placed in several key locations in the newspaper insert.
-- The little touches that matter in mobile—one-tap phone numbers and maps, a navigation bar for moving quickly from one page to another, and more.
Since its public release on September 20, the Austin Museum Day 2012 Mobile Guide has already been accessed via scan over 360 times.
