2. The MiniStore Concept
• mySupermarket lets shoppers compare and shop online at the leading
supermarkets in the UK.
• Any organization can create its own mini-store using the
mySupermarket MiniStore® technology
• The MiniStore contains items which are recommended by the
organization (“White List”)
• The organization may also warn against specific items which should be
avoided (“Black List”)
• The “Recommended” / “Not Recommended” items are presented in
two modes
– Clearly marked and integrated in the standard shelves of the various retailers
at mySupermarket
– Grouped together into an exclusive virtual shelf which contains all, and only,
the recommended items
3. MiniStore®
products Integrated
in regular shelves
Products of the Fairtrade’s
MiniStore are
‘recommended’ or ‘not-
recommended’ with icons at
all the stores’ shelves.
4. Fairtrade
Foundation’s
MiniStore® -
Grouped
together in their
own exclusive
shelf
The Fairtrade
Foundation’s
MiniStore® displays all
the items which were
recommended by the
organization – and only
these items. Think of it
as a special shelf
created for the
exclusive use of the
Fairtrade Foundation’s
MiniStore®

to this MiniStore® and
add it to their
favourites.

the organization recommends (white list) or bans (black list)
• A MiniStore® is automatically created. Organization may add a unique
graphic to brand it.

send shoppers to the store from their site, facebook pages or emails.
