2010 Beachtowns' Ad to Reach One Million
Michigan Beachtowns recently looked to Digital Active Online to create a full page ad for the back cover of the upcoming 2010 Michigan Travel Ideas magazine scheduled for distribution the first quarter of next year. Due to high demand, the magazine will print one million copies for a second year in a row, a significant increase from past years.

The ad uses a now famous photo provided by Michigan.org which was also utilized in billboard advertising by Michigan.org in New York's Times Square. The ad also includes elements of the beachtowns.org web site, which was developed by Digital Active Online. With the high profile ad placement and traffic to the web site, the Michigan Beachtowns are already gearing up for a prosperous 2010 tourism season.

Digital Active Online Joins the Outdoor Advertising Association of Illinois.
With years of experience with developing secure corporate intranet web sites for Outdoor Advertising companies, Digital Active Online has been virtually embedded in the industry.  In an effort to stay abreast of the issues facing the industry, Digital Active Online has joined the Outdoor Advertising Association of Illinois (OAAI).

The industry is poised to change dramatically as outdoor advertising grows into something much more dynamic with the now popular LED billboards. Within seconds, an LED display can change from an advertisement to an "Amber Alert" on a missing child or a severe weather alert. Digital Active Online will continue to provide the collaborative tools connecting outdoor advertising companies with their staff and customers. We look forward to attending the annual OAAI conference in Chicago in January, 2010.

South Haven Accommodations Get Mapped!
When South Haven Vistors' Bureau planned their website, a key concern was to be able to communicate to a wide audience while offering detailed information within the site's accommodations listings. The website, southhaven.org, had to connect potential visitors to these accommodations, in and around the South Haven area. Digital Active Online responded by developing an application that provides detailed information, mapping functions and the ability to create lists based on the type of accommodation selected.

SouthHaven.org mapping feature

Using Google mapping, the application automatically captures the latitude and longitude of the accommodation from Google Maps and stores it in the database. The information is then associated with the details of the business allowing users of the site to sort and choose the type of place they would like to stay. The business' information is displayed, including thumbnail pictures, and getting directions are just a click away. Now when you plan on visiting the South Haven area (and we hope you do), you can create lists based on the various types of accommodations: bed and breakfasts, cottages, condos, vacation homes, hotels, motels or inns.  The description of the location, with contact information, pictures, addresses and rates are accessible from the map view. Add them to the "Itinerary" feature, and viola! Your vacation planning is a breeze.
