ShopSavvy Can Help You Sell More Stuff!
Retail is undergoing a dynamic technological shift. Consumer are increasingly shopping by mobile phone. Studies by IDC and IE indicate that between 45% and 60% of smartphone users conducted “due diligence” on store prices and inventory in 2010. Even more important is IE Market Research’s prediction that more than $50 billion will be spent on merchandize using a smartphone by 2014. Make sure they see your products in our mobile search. The team at ShopSavvy can help BOTH local and online retailers take advantage of these new trends.
Get your product pricing and inventory into the Mobile Channel
More than 10,000,000 consumers use ShopSavvy to find the best deal from local and online retailers. Millions of other consumers use apps that license our technology and data including Consumer Reports, Experian/PriceGrabber, CBS Interactive/CNET and even retailers like Sams Club. We get thousands of merchant prices through a) direct feeds from retailers, b) FTP uploads from retailers/integrators, c) direct feeds from CPEs as well as d) a powerful web scraping engine. If we are not already getting your online or local inventory pricing data in our system, you can set up a direct feed.
To apply for a direct feed please review our product data feed specification document. If you can comply with that feed format, then execute our Standard Retailer Contract, and upload a “sample” feed. We will review your application and feed format to prioritize your integration. The prioritization and turn around of your integration will be based on your inventory breadth, quality of feed format, the size of queue, and whether or not you’re a paying client. The terms and conditions are in our Retailer Data Form. Note: Please let us know as if you have an API capable of delivering inventory and price information, as we also do custom integrations for select retailers.
UPDATE: Due to the upcoming holidays we are seeing a very high demand of feed integration requests. We will make every attempt to get your data integrated in a timely manner, but with hundreds of requests in queue, some patience is required. The prioritization and turn around will be based on your inventory size, the queue of merchants ahead of you, the quality of your file format and if your feed is part of a paid advertising (Ad On) campaign.
Leverage QR codes in your retail stores
QR Codes are all the rage in retail, but most consumers have no idea what those strange 2D barcodes are all about. Our Scan with ShopSavvy program helps consumers bridge the gap between 1D and 2D barcodes. Retailers and Brands who have used our branding program have seen interaction with their QR codes by 30% or more. There is no cost for the program, simply use the ‘Scan with ShopSavvy’ badge over your custom QR Code (we can create the code for you if you like for free) and you are ready to go. The program helps promote the use of ShopSavvy which is good for us and helps retailers instruct the consumer how to engage with your QR codes. Download the ‘Scan with ShopSavvy‘ art today (we love to see the program in action so please send us a picture of how you used the badge).
