Introduction to Shping (SHPING)
Shping is a shopping companion app that removes the intermediates and redirects the marketing spend of a brand directly to the end consumer while taking their shopping experience to a whole new level.
The platform is powered by the Shping Coin - a universal token of reward that enables brands, retailers, and associated organizations to reward consumers directly while facilitating a safer and smarter shopping environment for everyone.
Starting in Australia with a global roll-out in the near future, Shping has already become Australia's number 1 shopping companion app with over 300k users who have earned over 110m USD worth of token rewards. Major brands like Pepsi, Doritos, Asahi, Mountain Dew, Twinings, Schweppes, Heinz, Gatorade as well as others have embraced Shping Coin to meet their consumer engagement objectives.
About the Shping Coin Economy, in a world where shoppers wield increasing power from their buying choices, it’s now critical for brands to establish direct, meaningful relationships with them. We change traditional one-way transactional business-consumer relationships into one that literally rewards quality engagement on both sides, across all retail categories.
1. As part of the shopping journey, App users engage with brand content creating a direct communication channel.
2. Brands purchase coins in order to reward consumers for their engagement.
3. App users can then trade their coins on the exchange.
