Local Corporation (NASDAQ: LOCM), a leading local advertising
technology company, announced that its Havvit™ shopping app has
received award recognition from three major industry award
organizations.
Powered by the company’s patented Krillion® local shopping
platform, Havvit was selected by The Academy of Interactive and
Visual Arts to receive a 2014 Communicator Award of Distinction;
was a finalist for MediaPost’s 2014 Appy Awards; and is an official
Honoree in The 18th Annual Webby Awards in the Shopping (Handheld
Devices) category presented by the International Academy of Digital
Arts and Sciences.
“Being recognized by three esteemed industry organizations is
testament to Havvit’s capabilities and its ability to influence
on-the-go consumers throughout the shopping experience from
Discovery to Decision™,” said Fred Thiel, Local Corporation
chairman and chief executive officer. “We are honored to receive
this prestigious recognition for Havvit and Krillion, and look

Local Corporation’s Havvit app, one of the first local shopping
apps of its kind, delivers a highly personalized and intuitive
shopping experience. Havvit supports mobile consumers, allowing
them to track savings, compare prices and find products nearby, all
from their pre-selected favorite stores and brands.
The latest version of Havvit incorporates Krillion’s StockCheck™
technology, which provides real-time inventory availability, and
informs shoppers if the product they want is in stock and available
at nearby stores. It also includes Krillion’s smart price
comparison feature that alerts shoppers if the product they are
looking for is available at a lower price from another retailer
nearby. Download the free, iOS® 7-compatible Havvit app from
