At Smart Rack Cards™, now proudly merged with Visitor Centers International, we are transforming how travelers connect with local destinations. Recognizing the limitations of traditional paper rack card cabinets—which are often cluttered, outdated, and environmentally wasteful—we created a smarter, more interactive alternative. Our platform combines a massive, growing directory of Visitor Centers across North America with our innovative Digital Tourist Kiosks™, delivering engaging information that is always accessible and never out of stock.
We understand that smaller visitor centers and rural communities often operate on restricted budgets. Our clients are those who need to maximize impact with limited resources. By implementing our platform, smaller centers can offer a high-tech visitor experience without the massive overhead of custom app development or the ongoing labor costs of keeping a traditional website directory updated.
The core of our platform is a DIY (Do-It-Yourself) model that empowers local businesses to manage their own presence.
Fresh Information: Because businesses control their own Smart Rack Cards™, the information stays relevant and accurate.
Reduced Maintenance: This shifts the burden of manual updates away from the Visitor Center staff. No more chasing businesses for new hours or photos; the DIY portal ensures the community’s digital kiosk is always current.
Unbeatable Value: Our pricing tiers—$1, $2, or $5 per week—are specifically calibrated for small-town budgets, ensuring that even the most modest "hidden gem" can afford premium digital visibility.
Smart Rack Cards™ are the multimedia evolution of the classic 4x9 brochure. Through our sleek platform at www.smartrackcards.com, travelers can instantly connect with local businesses by scanning QR codes strategically placed in hotels, Chambers of Commerce, and community hotspots.
Concierge Feature: If a business owner is short on time, our team can build their Smart Rack Card™ directly from their existing website, ensuring a professional transition to mobile.
Our goal is to foster a thriving local ecosystem where:
Travelers enjoy a richer, more convenient discovery experience right on their smartphones.
Businesses gain enhanced visibility and direct engagement without the high cost of design or printing.
Visitor Centers can dedicate a tablet or terminal to create a modern Digital Tourist Kiosk™, providing a comprehensive guide to the area that maintains itself.
