Share some other creative ideas you’ve used to get your store out there. We love this stuff!
With online networks and a plethora of desktop applications connecting people across the world, there’s no reason why online store can’t be better integrated into all of these platforms. That’s what Shopit thinks, at least. Given the freedom for communication that the web has allowed, the ability to build on such freedom has allowed for the growth of web-based banking, dating, and shopping. It’s expected for these forms of communication and commerce to want to go where the people are. It’s the nature of the beast, and a catalyst for the ideal meeting of supply and demand.[ Read More ]
We’re running for a cause! Recently two of our Shopit team members have spent months training and fundraising to run in their first marathon. Rhett our COO, and Stephanie a member of our Marketing team, are participants in the Team in Training Organization; raising money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Both spent five grueling months training for this 26.2 mile lifetime accomplishment. Together they raised thousands of dollars for patients and families who are on the front lines of the battle against these diseases.
Lookin’ good after 5 hours of running!

Hello fellow Shopiteers,
We’ve added another platform to the Shopit network and we’re stoked about it!
AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) has been added to the Shopit external applications family. This means more eyeballs for your products, and more sharing tools in your arsenal.
You can instantly tell your friends about your stuff or ask them to tell their friends.
This functionality is built right into the sharing tool… through links in an IM, your friends can do the ultimate hook-up and share your products with their friends. My favorite quote when I’m shopping something is: “Do you know anybody who wants to buy a [insert product name here]“… works every time.
Also, along with this powerful new way to share products, the Shopit Store on AIM gives you all the power you have in external applications… without opening a browser.
You can grab the application here. It requires AIM 6.8 which you can grab here.
Be sure to let us know what you think about it and comment & rate it on this page.
Thanks and enjoy!
–Troy (lead applications developer)
