Richmond Now Available on the App Store
Richmond Tourism Commission developed the Richmond App with Red Pixel Studios of Owensboro, Ky., so that visitors can get information about the popular destination – one of the world’s largest man-made lakes – with a few flicks of their finger using their Apple iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
A product of Red Pixel Studio’s RPS | infoApp solution, the Richmond App enables users to find out about the area’s many wonderful attractions and recreational opportunities.
The Attractions section provides users a convenient way to find the numerous family-friendly activities in the area, while the Events offer an easy way to know about upcoming performances and events around Richmond. Travelers can also use the App to learn about places to eat, shop, sleep and, of course, play.
The App also keeps users in the know with updates from Richmond Tourism’s Facebook page sent by push notifications, so they can be sure to get the latest information and helpful reminders of upcoming happenings.
The App really gives us a powerful tool to connect visitors with the Richmond area and Madison County,” said Lori Tatum, Executive Director, Richmond Tourism Commission. “It lets us use the latest technology to promote a vibrant community that offers so many opportunities to explore, play and learn.”
Richmond Tourism Commission selected Red Pixel Studios to develop the App because they were able to incorporate the numerous features they wanted at a very low cost.
“We developed infoApp as a framework to produce customized, branded Apps for a wide variety of customers,” said Jason Kyle, vice president of Red Pixel Studios. “It’s an extremely flexible and robust system that enables us to quickly and inexpensively develop personalized Apps for tourism destinations, restaurants or nearly any organization.”
“We are excited to have had the opportunity to develop the Richmond App for Richmond Tourism,” said Jason Kyle. “We’re also proud to be able to enhance Richmond’s tourism efforts and attract visitors to such a wonderful Kentucky destination.”
