Associated Northcliffe Digital, in Partnership with the Nottingham Evening Post, Announces a New Shopping Site
A new website offering a first for shoppers in a Midlands city has launched and is aiming to become an online extension of the high street.
(PRWEB) September 29, 2006 -- Associated Northcliffe Digital has been working with the Nottingham Evening Post to create www.shoppingham.co.uk, an online extension of the high street.
The launch is the first in a series which will include other shopping destinations. Armchair shoppers can look forward to sites covering Derby, Leicester and other cities.
The site has become Nottingham's first generic e-tail offering, putting brands such as John Lewis, B&Q, Past Times and Comet online on the same website. By offering a huge amount of products available locally and online, the site offers shoppers the ability to make informed decisions about purchases, print a shopping list with directions to local shops and then actually "touch and feel" the items before purchasing.
The website also gives independent local retailers the opportunity to offer their goods and services alongside the national chains. Advertisers are able to email or text message registered users offers and discounts with eCoupons.
The website also allows gift lists to be created. This can be used for weddings, birthdays and any other similar event. The happy couple or individual can add items on the site to a gift list and then email that list to friends and items are removed from the list as they are purchased. Because the website features many local retailers, items can be collected locally or bought online.
Ian Buckley, General Manager of www.Shoppingham.co.uk at Associated Northcliffe Digital said "The website is just the beginning of a very exciting program to offer local shopping portals in a number of cities across the UK. The site has been very well received by advertisers and shoppers alike".
shoppingham.co.uk went live following an extensive marketing campaign to galvanise the community - and helped the site enjoy more than 6,000 hits in the first 24 hours.
Users can browse products by price, brand, location, item or shop, as well as being able to purchase via the web at certain online outlets.
With over 30,000 products available, www.shoppingham.co.uk is by far the largest online retailing portal in the Midlands and is proving to be a major success with shoppers and advertisers alike.
