ShopLocal Partners With uLocate to Deliver GPS Shopping Application

ShopLocal(TM), the leader in multi-channel shopping services, today announced the launch of ShopLocal Mobile, a robust GPS-based mobile application that connects retailers and consumers to the award-winning ShopLocal.com site, based on their current locations. ShopLocal Mobile was developed in partnership with uLocate Communications, and launched on WHERE(TM), the world’s first mobile GPS widget platform. “The launch of ShopLocal Mobile offers our customer base of millions of consumers more choice and control over their shopping activities,” said Vikram Sharma, CEO of ShopLocal. “ShopLocal Mobile helps shoppers find promotions and deals on products in their local markets from wherever they are, and whenever they want, by simply using their GPS-enabled cell phones.” The new mobile shopping application saves consumers both time and money by extending ShopLocal.com circular promotions and ads to their GPS-enabled cell phones, allowing them access to current promotions available in their local communities whether they are shopping online or in store. Prior to WHERE, developing and launching a mobile GPS application was both costly and time consuming. “We are thrilled that ShopLocal has chosen the WHERE platform to expand the relationship of its brand with its customers into a mobile environment,” said Walt Doyle, CEO of uLocate Communications. “WHERE was developed to eliminate the common difficulties that brand leaders, like ShopLocal, have historically faced in bringing a GPS-based mobile application to market.” “As the range of uses of wireless phones rapidly expands for on-the-go consumers, mobile shopping starts to become an important complement to online shopping,” said Greg Sterling, principal, Sterling Market Intelligence. “ShopLocal is clearly ahead of the curve with its new mobile shopping service on WHERE.” To learn more about ShopLocal Mobile, visit http://www.shoplocal.com or http://www.where.com.
