The Palm Beach Shopping portal is powered by HarvestINFO to promote local and national retailers to Palm Beach shoppers through one powerful and easy to use shopping search engine further distributed through the Mobile Channel.

LOVELAND, OH, March 18, 2008 - The Palm Beach Post was announced as the winner of the prestigious NAA Digital Edge Award for “Best Local Shopping and Directory Strategy”. The Palm Beach Post is a long standing customer of HarvestINFO and is tightly integrated with many of HarvestINFO’s applications and service offerings to include both DealStorm and ShopMountain.

Joe Rueth, HarvestINFO’s CEO states: “We are proud of the work of Palm Beach Post and the due recognition they received from the NAA Digital Edge Award Committee. The Local Shopping Channel at the Palm Beach Post sets the standard for how the newspaper industry can drive both online traffic and revenue. With the hundreds and hundreds of sites that were reviewed for this award and to think that our products and services were behind the site in this category that was selected, frankly we are extremely proud of that. We are honored to have played a part in the design and delivery of the applications and services plus powering and providing the technology behind their industry leading online shopping channel. We are very focused on driving online revenue and getting as many eyeballs on the advertisements as possible whether through various distribution channels we have developed over the years or our various delivery mechanisms”.

HarvestINFO worked with their Mobile delivery partner CellSigns for a tight, seamless integration for the mobile distribution of advertising content. HarvestINFO and CellSigns first launched this application at Palm Beach and it has been a great success. The NAA Digital Edge Award specifically referenced the work on Mobile delivery.
