Ninety-six percent of the United States public walks around with a cell phone. Fifty percent of the U.S. public will carry a data-enabled device by first quarter of 2012, and this is an important milestone for the cultural learning space.
The advent and development of mobile technology to enhance the visitor experience has produced many benefits for national, state and local parks, museums, art galleries, visitors bureaus, zoos, colleges, historic sites, botanic gardens and more. Mobile tour technologies have eliminated the need for capital expenditures on equipment as services are delivered through the visitor’s own mobile device. New solutions to consider for engaging guests include mobile web tours, mobile giving campaigns, text messaging, Smartphone apps, QR codes and surveys.
Learn how it can benefit your facility and how to extend the reach and impact of your site by utilizing these features for smart, functional, quick access to information and improved relationships with visitors. When venues help visitors access and share their learning experiences, everyone wins. In this presentation, you will learn about key elements and access methods of this mobile tour program already in place in Snohomish County that allows for the ultimate interactive experience between you and your visitors.
• Learn about cellphone tours, mobile web tours, mobile surveys and mobile giving;
• Take a cellphone tour; and
• Help to build a live mobile tour.
Participants will receive a seminar kit that includes OnCell’s 2012 Industry Forecast, OnCell’s 10 Steps to Successfully Marketing Your Tour and a free 3-stop mini-tour for your attractions, community or site.
