It’s that time of year again! Christmas is almost upon us – and before you start thinking it’s too early…look back to last year – were you scrambling around town on December 23rd, an hour before stores closed, looking for last minute Christmas gifts? You tell yourself every year – “I’ll never do that again!” but chances are, this December, you’ll probably end up in another mad shopping scramble, just like everyone else.
So why not make a change, and shop for that perfect gift right at home? This year, Future Shop teamed up with October 17 Media to bring tidings of comfort and joy through the Future Shop Holiday Gift Guide! This convenient, easy to use tech gift guide will give you great ideas on what to get your favorite people!
Our inspiration was to create an online catalogue like you’ve never seen before. No more crashing browsers, small text, inability to share or find the products on the actual website. It’s all here, at your fingertips!
We used slightly modified designs of the actual printed Future Shop gift guide and created a flash-based user-friendly and intuitive user experience (UX) for those looking looking to buy gifts for themselves, others or to just know about the latest tech gadgets this holiday season.
Users can easily flip the page, zoom in and click on products that link to the Future Shop website and even share these products with their friends on their Facebook page. It’s all the fun of an actual flyer (without the dirty fingers) and with the ability to hint to all your friends & family what you want this holiday season. No more guessing!
Check out the Future Shop Holiday Gift Guide today. It’s 40 pages filled with the best gift ideas this coming holiday season! You’re sure to find something for everyone, faster that you can say “Ho! Ho! Ho!”


October 17 and Future Shop team and bring Canadians chance to score big in “Crash the Crease”
At October 17 Media we’ve been harping on making your web site mobile accessible for a while now. This company has taken it one step further and allows you to really capitalize on advertising to customers with iphones. They’ve developed a really neat application called ‘Clip Mobile’ for the iphone that allows you to post coupons and deals available to those who download the free application. We’ve asked the developers a few interview questions we think advertisers would like to know about getting their coupons onto the clip mobile network.
