About Us
WHY
Word of mouth marketing is the oldest and most effective form of advertising, but with the widespread adoption of social media much of this communication now takes place online. Likes and reactions, tags and comments, posts and shares; all of these are ways you convey appreciation and fondness for all your favorite brands, businesses, products, and services. Shaplo is dedicated to helping small businesses thrive in the age of social media, and by partnering up with YOU we can achieve just that.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does it work?
Shaplo offers rewards for points collected by patrons of the small and local businesses we partner with. After dining or shopping with one of our partners, include them in a story or post on Instagram and send a picture of your receipt to our Instagram account. Once your post is verified, we will award you points for helping us spread the word! Explore our selection of partner businesses here to discover someplace new, or see if a business you love is already a partner with us!
What should I include when creating my posts?
For starters, your post does NOT have to be a review of the business or an account of your experience. In fact, we encourage all our users to post as casually and creatively as they’d like, and above all post authentically! That being said, there are a few things that must be included in your post in order for it to be verified. For details on posting requirements please take a look at our Terms of Use page.
How do I redeem rewards for my posts?
We keep track of all the posts you create and points you earn. Once you’ve earned 5,000 points we’ll send you a $5 reward! We’ll also send you updates via Instagram after every post, so you’ll always know how close you are to your next reward!
Please note, Shaplo will NEVER ask for your passwords or any debit card, credit card, or bank account information. If someone posing as Shaplo contacts you in any way and requests this type of personal information for any reason, do NOT respond. Notify us via email right away so that we may contact the proper authorities.
What if my favorite business isn’t partnered with Shaplo?
We love discovering new businesses to work with! We encourage all our users to email us or message us on Instagram about businesses they want to see us partnering with!
