What Sets Us Apart? 

• Shopvana lets businesses create and broadcast offers precisely when they want through notifications, as if using their own app. You can showcase your newest offer or your Amazon, Etsy, or Opentable deals on Shopvana to consumers in real-time. 

As always on Shopvana, you decide when, what and where to market your offers.

Perishable Offers Capability

• With real-time broadcasts, ensuring an offer's freshness is easy with Shopvana.

• Shoes aren't expected to be sold in a few days or hours, though fruit, veggies, flowers, baked goods, dairy products, sea food and more, are.

• More channels and methods for vendors to sell fresh produce, baked goods, flowers and more will increase sales, mitigate waste, benefiting everyone.

Shopvana has multiple offering categories including: Goods, Food, Services, Things-To-Do, and many subcategories.

No Consumer Personal Data 

• On Shopvana, vendors broadcast offers based on factors such as Offer Requests, area census data, proprietary three-month offer-to-sales (demand) trends, and live Heat Map rather than personal browsing or purchase history. 

Consumers love this about Shopvana. 

No Offer Rankings

• Vendors incur the same cost for equal visibility due to Shopvana's direct, anytime broadcast-based system.
• Vendors broadcast deals on their own in real-time, thereby eliminating the offer and vendor rankings typically associated with most list feed algorithms.

All vendors have a greater chance to thrive in our level playing field. 

Consumer Requests

• Shoppers can request currently unavailable offers, which will show up in all vendor dashboards under Requested Offers.

Creating offers is easy when you know exactly what consumers are looking for. 

We’ve made real-time push notifications available to all vendors, maximizing offer visibility and timeliness on Shopvana like Amazon and Facebook do.

• Suggestion! Send real-time offers to zip codes with arrival points such as airports, train and bus stations and be the first to greet travellers with your latest offer. 

Offer Visibility

Problem

On other platforms, vendors share costs through fees or subscriptions, but visibility varies. Vendors with less visibility subsidize those with more due to list feeds and ranking systems.

Solution

On Shopvana, all offers are created equally!

• Vendors incur the same cost for equal visibility due to Shopvana's direct broadcast-based system.
• Vendors broadcast deals exactly when they want, thereby eliminating the offer and vendor rankings typically associated with most list feed algorithms.
• All offers are immediately visible.
• Suggestion! Showcase your latest offer or your Amazon, Etsy, or Opentable deals on Shopvana to consumers in real-time.

Local Offers 

• Our geolocation-based commerce helps local businesses reach potential customers within 7 miles of any US ZIP code. Proximity allows sellers to offer immediate deals, making Shopvana essential for selling perishable and time-sensitive goods and services.

Nationwide Offers

• Nationwide offers can be created using our Heat Map and proprietary sales data, showing where active consumers are, what they're buying, and when. Shopvana has built-in shipping. 

Requested Offers (Consumer)

• Consumers can request offers that are not currently available and request a "better" offer. When an offer is requested, it will appear in all vendor dashboards under Requested Offers.

  Vendors will receive a summarized email of all offer requests for their ZIP code area. A vendor may choose to respond to an offer request, but consumers are not guaranteed a response.
