Orange County, Calif. – July 21, 2014 – Travel America Visitor Guide (TAVG), a division of Monster Arts, Inc. (OTCQB: APPZ), today announces the availability of its companion TAVG travel destination directory Smartphone app for iPhone. TAVG Travel Receipt Tracker now assists travelers with their record keeping/budgeting; more specifically, the improved app now comes with enhanced technology for storing and archiving receipts, tracking vehicle mileage and other maintenance tools (all compatible and exportable to Intuit’s QuickBooks, Google Docs, or Microsoft Office Excel).
This announcement follows on the heels of TAVG’s recent success in signing up 88 new exclusive clients/partners to recurring annual business membership relationships, including several national chain hotels and casinos, which includes placement in TAVG’s mobile optimized Internet Website and Smartphone App membership directory and participation in mobile marketing programs.
In addition to lodging and hospitality-oriented clients such as Trump International Beach Resort Miami, a wide range of other types of businesses such as restaurants, ski and jet ski rentals, auto repair shops, spas, salons and gift shops will be included – just to name a few! And unlike the situations involving competitors such as Yelp, Trip Advisor, or Google Places, TAVG benefits are exclusive to its paying members. As a result, TAVG members only compete with other paying members for business from the mobile device optimized website membership directory, thus limiting competition while maximizing their exposure.
Monster Arts CEO, Wayne Irving adds, “At TAVG, we’re very excited about rolling out the new and improved TAVG onto the iPhone platform. This has been in the works for quite some time, and with its implementation, we can really intensify and scale up our marketing and distribution efforts for what has become the “must have” directory for business travelers and consumers. I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank our development team and quality assurance teams for helping us to continually improve the product and achieve this important milestone. And with the busy summer travel season now upon us and in full swing, the timing for this announcement could not be better!”
