TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 11/10/11 -- Just in time for the holiday shopping season, Yellow Pages Group (YPG) launches ShopWise, a new mobile app for iPhone that pinpoints the hottest deals on products and services nearby a given location. ShopWise will help Canadians shop smarter and save time and money by allowing them to benefit from deals around them using the largest deals database in Canada. ShopWise's unparalleled deals inventory offers thousands of deals from major retail chain stores to small, local boutiques. This shopping application complements other mobile applications within the Yellow Pages Group network, which are a major driving force of the Company's ongoing digital transformation and account for 30% of all digital searches.

Whether they are looking for a specific product or simply browsing to find deals around them, ShopWise allows Canadians to find deals in a variety of ways. They can search nearby deals by product category, by entering a specific product name or brand, and with the help of a Nearby section which lists all available deals around a given location. To ease the search process, the application offers the possibility of sorting deals by popularity, date of expiration or novelty. For a quick overview of deals and promotions, users can also get a snapshot of the most popular deals by consulting a Featured section, which highlights popular deals based on a variety of factors including the number of times they were shared and user views.

"With 49 per cent of Canadian shoppers who use their smart phones to access price information on the go(1), ShopWise innovates and answers a definite need for Canadians to find nearby deals for the products and services they want while they are on-the-go, with real-time information," said Nicolas Gaudreau, Vice President Digital Media Acquisition and Retention, of Yellow Pages Group. "The ease-of-use ShopWise and its unprecedented deals database is set to make it THE go-to shopping app Canadians will turn to as they shop for a gift, pick-up a meal for dinner or look for their favourite fashion store."

To ensure Canadians never miss a deal, ShopWise offers Radar Alerts that notify consumers if the products they flagged are on sale near them, even when the app isn't in hand. In addition, this app enables users to easily share information with friends via social media channels.

ShopWise is a free application, available to iPhone users. To view a video showcasing how ShopWise helps Canadians shop smarter, click here.
