Hot Deals and Packages
The "Hot Deals and Packages" program is designed to help market your business to as many people as possible. With the increasing number of people utilizing the internet to plan their vacations or search for additional attractions from their mobiles, it is more important than ever that your business has coupons and packages available on Arkansas.com to bring in more customers
You can access the Hot Deals and Packages web page by clicking here. The iPhone App is also located at this link. *Contact Anna Mitchell at

or 501-682-7602 with any questions on creating your Packages and Hot Deals*
Important Instructions to Maximize Your Gains From the iPhone App and Website
If you have multiple locations of one business, you must create a Package and Hot Deal for each location specifically. You CANNOT have ONE general Package and Hot Deal for multiple locations. This is because the search function on the iPhone application is going to go by two things, the user's location and zip code.
Creating a Package and Hot Deal for each location of your business will ensure that each location will have a Package and Hot Deal that shows up when the user searches a certain zip code.
If you are currently listing in the Attractions, Lodging, and Dining database (ALD) of Arkansas.com you may proceed to <Arkansas.com/$MGT> and create your Packages and Hot Deals.
You must be a part of the ALD database to participate in the Packages and Hot Deals program. If you are not listed, please contact Kerry Kraus at
