DexKnows.com, 1-800-CALL-DEX and Dex Yellow Pages Help Consumers Make the Most of Convention Week DENVER, Aug. 25
DENVER, Aug. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- 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,
