sno.mobi is LIVE in CHAMONIX !

I'm just back from an amazing week in Chamonix Mont Blanc ski holidays resort!

6 days and nights of talking to local business owners and managers and they were really enthusiastic - everyone thought SNO ski holidays was a great idea and loads of business have joined - our Chamonix ski holidays pages are already buzzing with bars, restaurants, taxi, ski instructors, lots of accommodation, property for sale and a lot more...

... but it gets even better...

... we have partnered with the Compagnie du Mont Blanc (the lift company that runs the whole valley) and they are now using us as their mobile channel. The guys there are very switched on - they're really aware of how mobile web has exploded, how expensive it still is (to build to work on all devices) and are keen to use our system to communicate all their info to visitors in-resort. They have put our stickers in all the gondolas, kiosks and lift stations in the valley and they now run our Piste & Lift info and Lift Pass pages as their own - a terrific partnership for us both!

We're also talking to the Office du Tourism - we can be very useful for them in the same way (providing a mobile communications channel for free, when it would be very expensive for them to build their own). We're thinking of allowing them to use the Events Listings for free (normally you would buy an Event Listing, like when a bar wants to List their Happy Hour). The Tourism Office can then List all the major Events in Chamonix... and everyone can see them because everyone has a mobile phone!

It's a great start, but for me, the best thing of all is how all the business owners and managers really agree with our goals for ethical business - we can keep it really cheap (so every business can afford to be found) so long as they all add a link to us and put our sticker in their window - it costs them nothing and saves them a lot of money (we don't need to spend their money on our advertising and search rank).

Sooo exciting - more to follow soon...
