DOVER—
The Greater Dover Chamber of Commerce Visitor Center at 550 Central Avenue in Dover was recently named a Favorite Place by Google Maps of Mountain View, CA. Only 100,000 locations were identified as Favorite Places, representing less than 1% of the 28 million U. S. businesses. The selection is partly based on search rankings, between July 1 and Sept. 30, Google users found the Greater Dover Chamber of Commerce Visitor Center listing over 7,680 times.
As part of the program, there is a Favorite Place window sticker with a unique barcode at the Visitor Center. With just a simple scan of the code with a cell phone or mobile device such as Blackberry or IPhone, you can quickly read reviews to see what other users think about the location; upload community photos and video; star the location to remember to check it out later, or to remember to visit again.
“We are happy to have been selected as a Favorite Place, it demonstrates that our facility is literally on the map,” stated Kirt Schuman, Executive Director of the Greater Dover Chamber of Commerce. “Favorite Place is an intriguing technology that allows small organizations to not only dial-in local search rankings, but allows them to reach a wider audience.”
The Greater Dover Chamber of Commerce moved into its new facility in May of 2009 and is in the midst of a Capital Campaign of which 75% of a $400,000 goal has been attained. For more information regarding the Chamber of Commerce Visitor Center please visit www.dovernh.org.
