Canis Media announces launch of New teleshopping app
Canis Media has teamed up with leading provider of mobile solutions amoja.com, to bring the first low-cost, stand-alone mobile media solution for television retailers. The Canis Media team has developed a unique teleshopping app as a “white label” solution that television retailers can customize with their own content and branding. As a standalone app, it requires no costly IT integration and can be up and running within a few weeks. The app has been designed to be the first step in television retailers’ mobile strategy, and it can develop and grow as required. The app is available on both Apple and Android mobiles and enhances the user experience by offering the customer an exciting new viewing and shopping platform. The app also allows retailers to develop a much closer and more intimate relationship with their customers as the app users can search for video content, hunt for individual products and watch a streaming video channel. “Finally there is a way for TV retailers to take advantage of the latest in mobile phone technology without the costs of starting a whole new IT project,” says Ed Hall, chief executive of Canis Media. “We are very excited to be working with amoja.com in creating and developing new opportunities for teleshopping channels.

Shayne P. Forrester has been named Vice president of New business Development at Mercury Media, the largest privatelyowned, full-service direct response media agency in the country. Forrester will focus on developing the agency’s Short Form division.
