Where 2 Get It Introduces Branded iPhone Locators for National Brands

Downloadable App Store Locator and iPhone Mobile Web Locator Places Corporate Branded Logos on the iPhone

ANAHEIM, Calif., April 22, 2009 – Where 2 Get It, Inc., a leading provider of Local Search for National Brands™, today introduced its branded iPhone App Store Locator and iPhone Mobile Web Locator. iPhone Locators are being showcased at ad:tech SF in booth 1246.

ViewSonic sees the value in providing a branded iPhone App on Apple’s iTunes Store, which is about to hit the 1 billion download milestone. When downloaded a branded ViewSonic logo will be added to the iPhone homepage. The ViewSonic App will auto detect your location using the built in iPhone GPS when searching for a location. The iPhone application for ViewSonic was submitted to Apple last week and should show up soon on iTunes (preview screens).

“Where 2 Get It continues to offer solutions that are ahead of the curve,” said Melinda Beecher, Senior Manager, National Channel Marketing, ViewSonic. “With this new product, they will be delivering significant convenience to our customers as well as our channel partners. Our retailers say they depend on the locators as a valuable source for leads.”

Where 2 Get It’s new iPhone Locator enables companies to have their branded logos appear on user iPhones. When a consumer searches for a company website (iPhone Locator) on an iPhone it will automatically redirect them to the iPhone Locator. Users simply enter in a zip code or city/state to get locations as well as driving directions. A branded logo is then easily added to their iPhone homepage by clicking on the + sign at the bottom of the iPhone. Smart phones use the standard Mobile Locator.

"Where 2 Get It offers the best value for the cost, along with their superior technology and world class customer service, leading us to rely on them as our one source for locator technology needs," said Georgia Hutton, Senior Manager of Advertising & Branding, Church's Chicken.

“Brands are realizing the need to integrate mobile marketing into their multichannel marketing, customer retention, and acquisition plans,” said Vickie McGee, Vice President of Marketing, Where 2 Get It. “Mobile capabilities really complement other channels including retail, online, coupons, television, print and radio.”
