Williamsville app reaches 350 downloads in first week; officials plan more promotion
Summary
Village staff reported 350 downloads of the Williamsville mobile app within the first week and said they will promote it via social media, the bulletin board and laminated flyers at the park.
Village staff reported at the April 14 work session that the new Williamsville mobile app has reached about 350 downloads so far and that downloads are climbing steadily.
Why it matters: A village app can centralize announcements, event sign‑ups and service requests; officials said higher adoption will improve resident outreach and participation in events such as Greenup Williamsville.
Administrator Kannel told trustees the app grew from about a dozen initial installs to roughly 350 and that staff will promote the app on Facebook, the village bulletin board near the park and in laminated flyers. Village staff said the app icon is linked in the website footer to both the App Store and Google Play and that they will periodically repost promotional content. Organizers also asked for a printed counter or sign to advertise downloads at the park entrance.
No costs or promotional budget were specified at the meeting. Officials encouraged trustees to download the app and noted they would provide promotional handouts for posting at village facilities.
Next steps: Staff will create promotional flyers for the village bulletin board and social media and will post updated promotion materials to encourage additional downloads.
