“A critical part of an enjoyable all-around experience for
Destination visitors is our ability to provide them with
interactive information that they can access at their fingertips,”
said Erica Muhleman, Executive Vice President of New Business
Development/Marketing & Sales for HOFV. “Venuetize is extremely
well-versed in providing creative solutions to make guests’ visits
easier, safer and more fun. We look forward to utilizing their
expertise to keep our guests informed and help them get even more
out of their experiences at the Destination.”
Once launched, the official HOFV app will immediately create
more convenience and engagement with guests, offering a variety of
content in the form of seamless hospitality booking to any of the
on-campus attractions and the DoubleTree by Hilton Canton Downtown;
news on future developments; a calendar of Destination events;
directions and a map of Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium; and
parking information.
In future phases, the app will also be equipped with the
capability to offer augmented reality features, such as a 3-D map
of the Destination, and access to ticket purchasing for events. The
app will also connect guests to the Hall Of Fantasy League—the
first community-backed national fantasy league—through the League’s
official app once available. Users will be able to stake a team,
view fantasy news, and chat with fantasy and all other fans – all
through their mobile devices.
“Our mobile platform was built from the very beginning to
address the complexities involved in connecting a multi-use
environment,” said Craig Duncan, Chief Revenue Officer of
Venuetize. “Our partnership with HOFV is a great example of how
mobile technology can play a vital role in driving awareness for a
year-round destination, that in return will result in repeat guest
visits and significant monetization opportunities for our
clients.”
