USC's Welcome Week on Guidebook
"Guidebook was the perfect companion to USC’s Welcome Week for incoming freshmen. It was easy to create and update the guide, and easy for students to use. The Guidebook team was organized and proactive, and made sure that the guide was well-built and promoted."
-Heather Larabee, Assistant Dean of Students and Director of Campus Activities, USC
Take your school mobile.
Guidebook for Schools
As any teacher knows, it’s becoming harder and harder to keep students off of their smartphones during lectures, but it’s no longer difficult to turn those phones into a valuable tool for them to interact with your campus after class. Students, prospective students, parents, and alumni are increasingly going mobile. Allow them to connect with you!
If you’re interested in finding out more about how you can take your school mobile, contact Alan Blank at ablank@guidebook.com.
Maps & Campus Tour
Allow visitors to your campus, including prospective students and alums, to easily navigate their way around with interactive maps.
Better Communication
Have your school news stream constantly up-to-date and easily readable on smartphones. Push messages to the entire school if you have an alert for everyone.
Calendar of Events
Increase attendance at musical performances, guest lectures, and student activities by allowing your whole campus community to find out what is going on with the touch of a button. Organize your schedule into categories (i.e. arts, lectures) and make it searchable.
Transportation
Getting from Point A to Point B on a campus can often be a daunting task. There are campus shuttles and city buses with variable schedules to keep track of. Make it easy to find out when the next bus is coming and where it’s going.
Athletics
Scores and schedules in the palm of your fans’ hands.
Pictures
Post your own pictures or allow students and faculty to post pictures and instantly upload them for people to see.
Social Media Integration
Allow people to communicate with you and with each other via Twitter and Facebook with one click.
Our Philosophy
At Guidebook, we don’t think it should be expensive or difficult for organizations to connect with their audiences on their mobile devices. Guidebook makes it simple and inexpensive to go mobile, while providing a beautiful and engaging user experience.
Why Mobile?
Smartphones have only been a widely used consumer product for less than 10 years. In that short time, their usage has grown exponentially. They account for more than one-quarter of the U.S. mobile phone market. In certain populations, like trade show and conference attendees, they are much more widely used.
Platforms
Guidebook is user-friendly on iPhones, Android phones, Blackberries, and any other devices that your audience might use. We offer native apps for iPhone and Android and a mobile web app all for one low price.
