Discover D’Iberville App
story by Kelsey Sunderman-Foster
A ribbon cutting ceremony was held recently at D’Iberville City Hall celebrating the launch of D’Iberville’s digital app. The official app for the city, Discover D’iberville, is an all-in-one interactive app that will connect users to local businesses by helping them take advantage
of loyalty programs, coupons and exclusive offers. The
app will also function as a tool to help guests and locals discover new places in D’Iberville to eat, shop and more.
“We are excited to help the City of D’Iberville
revolutionize how visitors and citizens ‘Shop, Eat, Play, and Stay’ by using the Discover D’Iberville app,” says app developer Bryan Rodgers with Loyalty Systems, LLC.
Over 100 businesses are currently participating in
the app, with more joining each week. As part of their involvement, each business receives a free digital listing, including their logo with touch-to-GPS and touch-to-call capability. Discover D’Iberville is free to download and is available in the App Store and through Google Play.
