It's The first of its kind in Newfoundland & Labrador and you can be a part of it!

ishopalot.com is an innovative advertising and marketing medium that takes the form of a website portal. The first of its kind in Newfoundland; ishopalot.com allows LOCAL businesses like yours to post deals, specials, promotions, and coupons online. Your customers simply go to ishopalot.com to view your current deals and promotions.

What’s so special?

What drives traffic at ishopalot.com?

So, we built the website, you signed on as an advertiser, but how do we get the public to log on, and become repeat users?

Radio: a campaign of creative and memorable radio spots has been created. The volume of airplay is such that a ishopalot.com ad will play at saturation levels on four radio stations; VOCM, K-Rock, Radio Newfoundland and 99.1 Hits FM. On-air personalities will promote both deals and promotions and the prize giveaways.
MetroBus Advertising: ishopalot.com will be displaying ads on a large number of buses, on the side, back and a never before seen ‘between the headlights’ position.
Outdoor Advertising: In addition to the bus boards, ishopalot.com will also be featured on transit stations and bus shelters.
Print: Large scale print ads will be highly visible in a number of local publications.
Incentives: The ‘enter to win’ aspect of the website, with a daily product giveaway, a weekly cash prize and monthly grand prizes, ensures customers visit the site day after day, week after week.
