Boston’s Hottest Showcasing Startup – Readers’ Choice

Howler: You are busy running your business, let the Howler platform and its awesome team help spread the word about your company and your deals. By signing up with Howler not only do you get the ability to learn about your foot traffic, and reach specific audiences with your howls, but you can bet we will be making a big deal of you and your company on multiple media channels. Because after all if your business is successful then everyone wins! The old way of advertising and its methods have limited reach and do not target a specific type of person. They also take a beating, fall over, and are easily vandalized. Signs do not give you any interesting information or data about the people that walk by, or the ones that choose to walk in to your business. Upgrade to Howler, get informed and get MORE customers! Congratulations to Date my Wardrobe and Howler. Your win includes an invitation to a future Tech Cocktail Week, as well as inclusion at Tech Cocktail Celebrate Conference, our national startup showcase held in Downtown Vegas in October.
