Explore Shoppers Guide, A Franchise Offering

Innovative Digital Advertising. Smart Investment.

Better Digital Solutions and High Growth Potential Mean a Better Way to Advertise.

Following decades of success in the magazine industry, founder Mitch Roberts saw a better way to advertise. By creating an innovative digital platform that combines a printed card and QR Barcode with an online website displaying up-to-the-minute digital ads, Explore Shoppers Guide connects luxury businesses with consumers in their local markets.

Compact physical cards in convenient holders are placed in various retail outlets and businesses, allowing advertisers to reach potential customers, while the easy-to-update digital platform delivers the latest sales, promotions, and other information. A best-of-both-worlds approach, Explore Shoppers Guide is convenient for both advertisers and their target audience. No more cumbersome and time-limited materials to design, print, and distribute. The card’s QR Barcode allows shoppers to easily stay abreast of what’s happening at their local clothing, jewelry, and interior design stores, as well as restaurants, beauty salons, and more.
