Issue 1 Launch Date: 07 February

Shop+ is a brand-new digital lifestyle magazine for convenience store shoppers, giving retailers a fantastic new opportunity to earn cash rewards, engage with customers and promote their products.

The PoS package includes an A3 poster and promotional cards to be displayed in store, and digital assets to be used across retailers’ social media channels.

To encourage consumers to engage with their local store, Shop+ will be packed with the latest products to buy in store, money-saving advice and family-friendly recipes featuring convenience store ingredients. There’s also well-being advice, entertainment news, quizzes, travel ideas and the chance for one lucky shopper to win £1,000 with their corresponding store winning a £500 cash prize as well!

The PoS package will be distributed with the 7 February issue of RN, which retailers can order via their magazine wholesaler. It can also be downloaded via the Shop+ page on Better Retailing. Each PoS asset will have a designated space for retailers to display a unique Shop+ ID Number, which will be used to identify them as the source of each scan.

Following a recent trial with stores located around the UK, retailers averaged 8-to-10 unique scans a day, resulting in a potential £48-60 in additional revenue per issue.

Shop+ editor in chief Louise Banham said: “We’re really excited about Shop+ and how it can drive shoppers into convenience stores. We want to showcase the great products available in independent shops to encourage increased spending and repeat visits, while also financially rewarding those retailers who take part.”

The Shop+ Club is completely free to join and is open to all independent news and convenience retailers.
