Answers
Questions about the services
Which ShopSmart service should a new business start with?
That is what the complimentary consultation settles: the rep learns what you sell and who buys it, then recommends the magazine, postcards, digital, social or a mix.
Can I combine print and digital advertising?
Yes, and the services are built to pair: a geofenced ad before a postcard, or a magazine coupon backed by a retargeting campaign.
Does ShopSmart design the ads for every service?
The in-house design team makes the magazine ads, postcards and digital banners. On the DIY social plan you supply your own photos and video.
What kinds of businesses advertise with ShopSmart?
Local, regional and national ones: restaurants, auto shops, home improvement and home service companies, retailers and franchises, from Pizza King to LeafFilter.
