Stores may optionally send us a list of the most popular brands (up to 12) in their shops. This list will be captured and displayed with the store details. For those stores that have special web pages reserved to list the entirety of their brand offering you may send a link to such web page, in addition to the 12 most popular brands. This is a free service.
However, updates to this list are charged at the same price as a "brand" advert. In such instance you may wish to publish a brand advert as well as changes (all 12 of them) for the price of a single brand advert.
When one of more of these brands (or another extra brand) are being offered on specials you may signal this by purchasing a very affordable "brand" special. The presence of these specials is signaled on several places within the app via a green flag or within the list of brands at your store:
The first image shows a list of stores where "Morning Light" is flagged with a green flag to signal that a special is present for one or more of its brands.
The second image shows the selected store with its details. Lower down a list of the main brands present at this store is present. Notice how "Canon" is highlighted. This indicates that it is a special. Tapping this button will take the user to the web site selected by the store. A telephone number link can be used in place of a web site URL.
The button with "Wedding photos" is a also a special of type "custom" and is described under Custom
Other buttons that are not highlighted merely list other brands available at the store and are not "clickable".
The third image shows a map where the "cursor" hovers above the store "Morning Light". This will trigger a display in the thumbnail window of the brand specials associated with the store because a green flag appears next to the store on the map. The items highlighted on the thumbnail display are clickable and will take the user to the website selected by the store.
Brand specials also participate in searches available to the end user:
The first image shows the button that initiates brand searches.
The second image shows brands available for the stores within the mall. Those that have a green flag indicate that a special for that brand is available.
Custom brands also appear on this list: "Bikini wax" and "Breakfast". Custom brands are described here: Custom
SPECIAL NOTES:
1) when purchasing your first "brand" advertisement you may add "our story" which is a description of your store. It should be approximately half a screen to a full screen in length. Please supply this in text format. See "sample stores" for an exmple of this feature. This is propagated to all stores with identical names within the malls supported.
2) all brands listed for a store are automatically propagated to all stores with identical names across all malls supported.
3) paid-for brand specials apply to a single mall or as quoted and are not propagated to other malls.
