Joe Duemig, co-founder of App My Community joins us for this episode to share some thoughts on how a community facing mobile app could benefit your Chamber.
Joe is a software developer with a focus on the user experience. For the past four years he has been creating mobile apps for RV resorts and Chambers of Commerce.
His idea behind Chambers having a mobile app to serve their community is beneficial in several ways. The app provides value to those in your community. It provides a platform to leverage in partnerships with local fairs, farmers markets, or other similar events in your community. It allows for push notifications for your Chamber members to directly communicate with their customers. A mobile app helps to keep your Chamber relevant in a world with fast changing technology.
As Joe talks about the process of setting up a new Chamber with a mobile app, he explains how it can go live in a matter of 30 days!.
When it comes to the finances, in many cases, one business or entity can “sponsor” the cost for the app while still allowing for many opportunities to monetize the app through other advertising opportunities or special business features to provide your Chamber with non-dues revenue.
