ShopLocal.com Named Best Internet Shopping Service
15 June 2005ShopLocal, the leading provider of Web-to-store marketing solutions for retailers, was recognized as the Best Internet Shopping Service over 1 million during this year's EPpy Awards, presented at the E&P/Mediaweek Interactive Media Conference in New Orleans, Louisiana. The EPpy Awards honor the best online work from media outlets, including newspapers, television networks and affiliates, radio networks, syndicated shows, local radio stations, and magazines. The awards are co-sponsored by Editor & Publisher and Mediaweek magazines.
A group of 40 independent industry experts from the business and academic sectors selected ShopLocal as the Best Internet Shopping Service over 1 million based on overall design, ease of use, comprehensiveness, and other criteria. This year marked the 10th annual EPpy Awards, which honor Web sites across several categories including Best Overall Newspaper-Affiliated Internet Service, Best Internet Sports Service, Best Overall Design, and Outstanding Individual Achievement. The competition is open to media companies from any country that operate Internet services on the Web.
"It's an honor to be recognized with an EPpy award -- it shows that our Web-to-store approach provides real value to our media affiliates," says Brian Hand, CEO of ShopLocal. "By connecting local retailers with consumers shopping in the retailer's area, we strive to deliver benefits to both advertisers and consumers."
ShopLocal uses a geo-targeted search engine to help the roughly 84 million shoppers who use the Internet to gather information and then buy at local stores. Shoppers can search by product or store within a specific zip-code radius to find deals at major chains as well as independent operators. Categories include apparel, furniture, home improvement, automotive, home office, groceries, electronics, and more.
Launched in August 2004, ShopLocal is quickly becoming one of the most efficient ways for retailers to reach shoppers with targeted promotions and messages. And with seven in 10 adults online today, yet e-commerce representing only 2% of retail spending, ShopLocal's Web-to-store proposition is filling a real void in the marketplace.
