BURLINGTON, Mass., June 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Endurance International Group (NASDAQ: EIGI), a leading provider of cloud-based platform solutions to help small and medium-sized businesses succeed online, today announced new features to its Business On Tapp mobile application. The latest features include new ways for small business owners to connect directly with each other to network and share advice and personal expertise. Tapp members can create and share digital business cards, directly connect with people by industry and location, and check the leaderboards to see how their entrepreneurial interests rank against others. Since the app's launch in February, more than 75,000 people have downloaded the app.
Business On Tapp is a free mobile application that delivers daily insights and actionable tips to help small business owners succeed both online and offline. The app features unique editorial content as well as interactive features that allow small business owners to connect with their peers to share advice and best practices. Recently, Business On Tapp featured stories from an exclusive interview with Marcus Lemonis, host of CNBC's The Profit. Lemonis shared tips on how to pitch to investors, strategies for keeping employees, and techniques for Tweeting smarter. Additional recent editorial features include a piece on How To Get Rescued from Mobilegeddon and 3 Ways to Protect Your Business From Security Hacks.
Newly launched features include:
- Tapp Radar: An even cooler way to connect with other entrepreneurs. Find business owners who work in similar fields and share interests, who also live close enough to grab a coffee with.
- Alerts: Allows members to track app conversations and responses to questions.
- Recommended cards: Shows previews of cards similar to those already viewed, delivering a more personalized experience.
- Business Card: Members can create their own unique digital business card to share right on their phone, by simply choosing a theme, uploading a photo, and customizing the fields with their business information. With the business card, members can connect with like-minded entrepreneurs on Tapp or send their card out to contacts directly via vCard, social media, and email.
- Ask a Question: Ask A Question provides members with access to experts and entrepreneurs who have been in their shoes. Members get advice on solving real-world business problems.
Additionally, Business On Tapp recently concluded its first Tapp Flash Mob - an online competition that crowd-sourced advice from small business owners to help contestants take their businesses to the next level.
