With the holidays in full swing, retailers are looking for ways to stand out from the crowd and market more effectively to their potential customers. However, most local merchants don’t have enough budget or technical know-how to market their products online, on mobile devices or via local search engine technologies. Wishpond has made it remarkably simple for independent merchants to target local consumers using Google, Facebook and mobile platforms just like big-box retailers.

In as little as a few minutes, retailers can upload their inventory and have an instant presence on Facebook, Google, Wishpond.com and mobile platforms. Wishpond automatically updates a merchant’s Facebook Fan Page when new products and promotions become available. Also, advertisements built using Wishpond’s ad interface are immediately promoted on top sites such as Google and Facebook and on mobile.

For content providers and partners, Wishpond serves as an open platform that allows them to add product locality to their websites and mobile applications. For example, a website which provides a directory of local businesses can provide its users with the ability to search for products near them using Wishpond. Partners can also tap into Wishpond’s open APIs to access data on more than four million products from 1400 retailers in over 100k locations.

With millions of products in virtually every city across North America, consumers now have the ability to find the products they want, at the prices they desire, just down the street using Wishpond. Consumers can also wish for products – basically name their own prices on products they find on Wishpond. Local retailers can then offer personalized promotions for these products. In effect, Wishpond does for retail products what Priceline does for travel. This is a totally new way of shopping that was not possible in the past.
