Topic: [ANN][TOKENSALE] 🔴 SHPING 🔴 A cryptocurrency for shopper marketing + rewards 🛒🛍 - page 6. (Read 2095 times)

This is a fantastic question. Thanks for asking - we have a few reasons for this.

As a cryptocurrency, Shping Coin can be used globally, enabling businesses to reward consumers directly for their engagement with messages instead of the traditional way of paying advertising middlemen. This will add an exciting new dimension to shopper marketing and we’re very excited by the potential.

Therefore, firstly, a revolutionary platform needs a revolutionary model to back it. Shping Coins are linked to our smart contract enabling our technology to validate that brands and other awarding parties have a sufficient amount of Shping Coins when they set up their campaigns to reward shoppers using the Shping App. This keeps the system self regulated.

The other reason is that the platform is global and so it stands to reason that we need a global reward token rather than facilitating local fiat transactions, which is administratively problematic. Imagine all those foreign exchange fees that need to be processed for all the microtransactions happening at once!

Hope that helps!

Interesting project! I already downloaded your Android app. This is good sign that you already have an app and this means you believe in your project and you already invested some money by yourself.
I can imagine people scanning barcodes in the store to check reviews before they decide to buy or not. When I'm buying more expensive things like headphones or TV I check reviews on Amazon or similar website, but imagine there's new brand of chocolate and you don't know if it's good or not, simply scan the barcode and see if other people liked it or not. I will definitely use your app.

I have only one concern, if brands will be able to reward customers with Shping coins for good reviews, I am afraid that reviews will not be sincere, because people will try to get more coins and they will write biased reviews.

Thanks for the support! 

It's been a lot of work to bring such a deep solution to market, but we think it'll be worth all the sweat!

Being a newbie to the crypto world, can you tell me what the benefits are of rewarding users in crypto, rather than just regular $ like most rewards programmes around?

Shping to Disrupt the $28 Trillion Global Shopping Industry with Crypto-Reward Marketing Platform
via Coinspeaker

Commencing January 2018, for one time only, Shping will release five billion Shping Coins to the public as part of its Token Sale – an opportunity for brands and crypto-enthusiasts to purchase Shping Coin at the introductory price of USD $0.01.

Shping Coin will be the first cryptocurrency designed specifically for brands, retailers and certification bodies to use to reward consumers directly for their attention, engagement and loyalty –  a new model for paid marketing.

“Over USD $80 billion was spent on digital advertising in 2017 by brands attempting to get messages out across to online consumers. Considering that almost 90 percent of consumer spending still sits with physical stores, we see an enormous market and demand for Shping Coin” said Shping Chief Executive Officer & Founder, Gennady Volchek.

“Shping does for mobile and shopper marketing, what Google and Facebook does for online pay-for-performance advertising,” said Volchek.

“The one key difference being that our model sees brands paying consumers directly for their engagement – not the middleman.”

Shping’s “audience-earns” advertising model opens up a new level of agency, transparency and co-operative interaction between brands, retailers and consumers to allow for closer bonds and the valuable share of information.

Shping is an innovative, shopper-marketing ecosystem that enables participating brands and organisations the opportunity to reward shoppers who use the Shping App with a new cryptocurrency called Shping Coin.

By scanning product barcodes with the App, shoppers can reveal useful information, contribute product reviews, or activate actions set by brands to unlock more Shping Coins. For businesses, Shping offers a new way to market to shoppers at the critical point of purchase while enabling brands to gather analytics to help inform their strategic decisions.


Making shopping a smarter, safer and more rewarding experience for all.



The Shping Ecosystem is built on product information provided by a scalable number of trusted and verified data sources. This include data from participating brands, and a growing list of strategic partners including GS1 local members, certification and government authorities, product recall portals, and Everledger who have created a global, digital ledger that tracks, protects and stores the provenance of diamonds and valuable assets. Along with crowdsourced data (from Shping App users), the data is collected from these sources into a continuously updated, distributed product database; at over 30 million products and growing, it is on the way to becoming the biggest in the world.









The Shping Platform is powered by Ethereum smart contracts and manages product traceability on the back of hyperledger and GS1 EPCIS standards. Shping will be partnering with Everledger to create a private blockchain based on the Hyperledger Fabric to play the role of a register for EPCIS events. The integration with Everledger is a work in progress.

This allows information such as the serialization of products, item movements through the supply chain, and sales and product recall alerts to be exchanged quickly and securely. All brands, distributors and retailers can become a member of this network, start their nodes and use the EPC Codechain. Shping’s blockchain integration agent will provide blockchain information to consumers and third parties via EPCIS SOAP service.

• Businesses who wish to use the Shping Platform to market to shoppers at the point of purchase must have a positive balance of Shping Coins to activate their campaigns.
• The Token Sale therefore represents a good opportunity for businesses and individuals to purchase Shping Coins at an introductory rate.
• This will be the only time that Shping will release Shping Coins for purchase.
• There will be no more tokens generated outside of the initial distribution.
• USA, China and New Zealand residents are excluded from purchasing Shping Coins during the Shping Token Sale.
• Once the Token Sale has concluded, any interested party including brands, retailers and other users of the Shping platform may be able to acquire Shping Coins through accepting cryptocurrency exchanges (to be announced in early 2018).
• Buyers who purchase Shping Coins during the Token Sale will receive their tokens as soon as the transaction has been completed.
