Status of the year - and Merry Christmas to all!
2013 has been a big year for Everplaces, a year where we’ve changed our focus, built a new core technology and established the perfect team. We’d like to thank all our customers, users, investors, community and contacts and wish you a fantastic new year. You’ve been a big part of making our year great.
New Focus
In the beginning of the year we decided to shift our focus from the Everplaces the travel tip community, our most well-known product, to the app-making engine we’d started building in late 2012. The travel community around Everplaces is thriving, and people all over the world use it daily to save travel tips and locations they love. But we decided it would jeopardize the trust that’s essential in the product if we monetized directly, therefore we built-out our technology to become an app-making engine. Today we make our money outside Everplaces travel site.
The world’s best engine for location-based apps
During 2013 our brilliant engineers have built the world’s easiest way to make top quality location-based apps. What our engine essentially does it allow any marketing manager to turn location content, often for travel or tourism, into beautiful branded native iOS apps.
We’re now able to reduce both cost and time to make an app by two thirds!
Working with wonderful companies
We now power 65 apps, we specialize in location-based and work a lot with the travel and tourism sector. We are proud to be working with some of the most innovative companies in that field on cool projects such as:
Copenhagen Cooking by Wonderful Copenhagen
We partnered with one of the world’s most innovative DMOs to create a sleek and smart app for the big Copenhagen Cooking Festival. Delicious!
UNESCO World Heritage Sites by German National Tourist Board
The smart people at the German tourism board have a tough time choosing what to promote in their beautiful country, this year they choose the 38 world heritage sites and promoted it with an app. Magical locations!
Global travel guide series by Urban Adventures
Australian tour company looked all the way to Denmark when they had to choose their mobile partner for their new travel guide series. Their ambition is the publish a guide for all 82 cities where they work, they’ve already published 12 mobile guides!
Some of the things we’re particularly proud of from 2013
- Build world-class app generator for location-based apps
- Now power 65 apps, 27 released in 2013
- Increased turnover by x17
- Partnered with Deutsche Telekom, Facebook, DigitalTourismThinkTank & TellUs
- Thought leader in mobile marketing, app building and working with UGC - spoke at 28 events all over the world
- Everplaces the app featured in Apple’s lists every single week of 2013 and is now used in 95 countries.
- We had 15 separate apps featured by Apple and several apps nominated for awards.
We hope you have had just as good a year as we have. And look forward to seeing you in 2014.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
