Which means businesses don't have to plan days or weeks in advance to market themselves. They simply send their promotional message to Shopinsky ... and within minutes we broadcast it to local shoppers via Twitter and our own shopping pages.
Great for shoppers ...
Shoppers love these last minute offers, so in 2008 that we had the idea to harness the power of social networking services like Facebook and Twitter to help local businesses meet local consumers.
By investing in smart technology we have made it simple for businesses to create and manage their own promotions at both local and national level ... and of course Shopinsky is a fun, up-to-the-minute service for consumers too.
Great for businesses ...
There's no waffle with Shopinsky sales messages. It's like sending a text message from a mobile phone ... but to hundreds of local shoppers.
In fact retailers can even use their PC or their mobile phone to create their promotional message. Shopinsky's smart technology instantly converts the text messages we receive and broadcasts them to Twitter and our own local shopping pages.
Better still, because Shopinsky is focused on local customers (we cover over 170 towns and cities in the UK), retailers get customers coming into their store. So Shopinsky is the perfect complement to ecommerce sites.
