Viva Brighton Issue #45 November 2016

BLIPS AND BOBS
...............................
BLIP OUR COVER FOR READER OFFERS
We’ve teamed up with 12 fab independent Brighton
shops to offer Viva readers some exclusive deals, including
discounts, limited edition Viva tote bags…
and free beer. In effect, we’ve created a ‘trail’ of
some of our favourite retailers in town for you, our
readers, to follow; all you have to do to get started
is learn how to blip. And that’s easy.
Blip? Blippar is a state-of-the-art bit of technowizardry,
a ‘virtual discovery’ browser, using your
smartphone’s camera to ‘recognise’ an image. It’s
a bit like QR codes, but Blippar
can recognise any image - in
this case, the cover of the magazine. Download the app, blip that image, and a
window opens on your screen, detailing exactly what’s on offer, and your Viva
code to show at the till.
Follow the three easy steps below, then, to be able to get onto the trail, which
incorporates these shops, carefully selected by Viva: Bison Beer (7 East
Street), Brass Monkeys (109 Portland Road), Butlers Wine Cellar (247
Queens Park Road and 88 St George’s Road), Homage (34a Bath Street),
Julian Stephens Goldsmith (37 Gloucester Road), Kemptown Bookshop
(91 St George’s Road), Magazine Brighton (22 Trafalgar Street),
Mister Smith (23 New Road), Specky Wren (1-2 Marshals Row), Wick
Candle Boutique (120 Portland Road), Wigwam (140 Preston Drove)
and Workshop (13a Prince Albert Street).
What are you waiting for? Get blipping, and hit the streets!
Go to vivamagazines.com for more details and the terms and conditions.
Download the Blippar
app. It’s free, and available
for Android, Windows or
iPhone. Find it in your
app store or on Google
Play.
Open the app and hold
your phone up to the
front cover to ‘blip’ it.
Fill the screen with the
cover and hold it still for a
few seconds.
The ‘blip’ will automatically
launch,
showing you the full list
of offers available from
independent retailers
across the city.
