No owned audience
Nearby shoppers only hear from you if they already follow the right channel.
For PEI retailers and store owners
Reach local shoppers right when they're deciding where to buy.
Shopista puts your store and weekly offers in front of nearby shoppers while they plan their grocery trips.
For independent PEI stores
You're competing with the chains for the same shoppers — without their budget.
That budget gap turns into daily work: ads, loyalty, flyer updates, customer follow-up, and offer tracking all land on the same small store team.
No loyalty engine
You know regular customers by face, but reaching them between visits is hard.
No IT team
Flyers, offer data, store pages, and posts stay scattered across tools.
No media buyer
Ad setup, targeting, budgets, and reports compete with running the store.
No campaign rhythm
Promos go up late, expire by hand, and have to be rebuilt next week.
It has never been this simple
Create an offer in a few clicks, approve the promotion, and get more shoppers into your store.
Small team ready
Doable without a big team or big budget.

Retailer tools
Five practical tools for getting more shoppers into your store.
Create the offer once, keep it structured, and reuse it across flyers, local campaigns, loyalty prompts, and store visibility.
Flyer studio
Build the weekly flyer without rebuilding the same work every week.
What hurts
- Creating a flyer takes time the owner does not have.
- Once it is made, it mostly reaches people already in the store.
- The offer data is trapped in a flyer instead of ready to reuse.
Shopista response
Add products, prices, dates, and store details once. Shopista turns that into structured offers that can appear to nearby shoppers while they plan.
Promo planner
Keep weekly promotions from becoming another forgotten chore.
What hurts
- The same posting and expiry work comes back every week.
- Deals go out late, stay up too long, or look different in different places.
- Promotion work is easy to skip when the store gets busy.
Shopista response
Plan the next promotion window from the same flyer data, with clear go-live and expiry timing, reusable copy, and an owner-approved checklist for where it should be used.
Managed local promotion
Run a local campaign without becoming an ads manager.
What hurts
- Paid promotion can help, but setup, formatting, timing, and budget choices are a separate job.
- Small stores need control without learning campaign software.
- The owner still needs to approve what goes live.
Shopista response
You choose the offer, budget, timing, and local area. We package the promotion for review, handle the setup work, and keep the final approval with you.
Loyalty and return visits
Give regulars a reason to come back before the chains pull them away.
What hurts
- Small stores know repeat customers matter, but usually lack a simple system.
- Regulars drift when another store is more visible that week.
- Follow-up has to respect shopper permission and privacy.
Shopista response
Use simple, opt-in loyalty and return-visit prompts tied to your store offers, so repeat shoppers have a clear reason to choose you again.
Demand insights
Stop guessing what nearby households are planning to buy.
What hurts
- Store sales show what already happened, not what shoppers are planning next.
- Pricing and promotion choices are often made from hindsight.
- Individual household data must stay protected.
Shopista response
As Shopista grows, retailer reporting can show aggregate demand patterns: what local households are looking for, without exposing individual shopper data.
