Most of Convention Week
DENVER, Aug. 25 // -- Heading to Denver for the
Democratic National Convention and looking for a great place that serves
Rocky Mountain Oysters? Live in the Denver area and interested in finding
locations to visit outside of town so that you can avoid the Convention
congestion? Regardless of which group you find yourself in, Dex(R) local
search solutions have you covered.
With DexKnows.com(TM), Dex's online local search tool, consumers can
not only search for local businesses, but read user-generated ratings and
reviews of local establishments and plan out their own itineraries. For
example, the more than 50,000 visitors expected to attend the Convention*
can use DexKnows.com to find places to eat near the Pepsi Center, or map
out routes from their hotels to the Convention. Likewise, Denver residents
can use DexKnows.com's maps and itinerary planning tools to find
alternative businesses that may not attract the tourist crowd, or look for
places outside of the city.
For those seeking a coffee or copy shop near the Pepsi Center or any
other Denver area location there's 1-800-CALL-DEX(TM), a voice-enabled
solution that provides free, local category search for consumers seeking
businesses. Consumers can use the service to connect directly to local
merchants and receive information about businesses via text message. They
can also search by specific business name and request live operator
assistance if necessary.
Visitors and residents alike can also turn to the latest edition of the
Denver Dex Yellow Pages print directory. This year's directory includes
updated Community Pages that feature information on local events, parks and
more.
Helping Local Businesses Become Candidates for Success
Consumers are not the only ones who can benefit from Dex's local search
tools. Local businesses can use these tools as a means of connecting with
both visitors and residents alike, allowing them to tap into the more than
$160 million in revenue that the Convention is expected to generate.*
"Dex's local search solutions provide benefits for everyone --
visitors, residents, and local businesses," said Maggie Le Beau, senior
vice president and chief marketing officer, Dex. "Whether people prefer to
search via the Internet, phone or print, we're providing a number of tools
