ShopWindoz Launches UK Marketplace for Independent Design Labels
BERLIN, March 13 /PRNewswire/ -- ShopWindoz (http://www.shopwindoz.com) enables independent design labels
to build a business online with just a few clicks. ShopWindoz offers an
affordable solution that makes it easy for sellers to present their brand in
a unique and very visual way online. For buyers this means 'virtual window
shopping' and a rich browsing experience where hard to source lifestyle
products can be found, many of which are exclusive to ShopWindoz. In addition
to this, ShopWindoz also offers social commerce features for both sellers and
buyers to make the experience more engaging and fun.
ShopWindoz believes in the power of independent 'micro-brands' and in
bringing niche design products to the masses. "Unique ideas deserve unique
modes of presentation, that's why on our site sellers can present themselves
creatively and stand out from the mediocrity that is sometimes prevalent on
the web," says Darryl Feldman, Managing Director of tsoosayLabs who created
the platform.
The site, now launched in English, originally went live in November of
last year in Germany. Initially products are mostly from Berlin based
designers but the plan is to bring the UK's best design talent onto the
platform. "The UK market for designer lifestyle products is very strong as is
the use of the web for shopping. We intend to leverage both these factors
fully with our new English version of ShopWindoz," says Feldman.
ShopWindoz has already acquired hundreds of up and coming designers,
mainly from Berlin, onto the platform selling products including; furniture,
kids clothing, streetwear, fashion and original artworks. ShopWindoz is
establishing a reputation for edgy urban design and presenting quirky 'long
tail' products that are hard to find elsewhere - online or offline.
"I found setting myself up as a commercially practising designer was
quite a challenge in London where costs are high and the competition is
tough. I hope ShopWindoz will help those UK based, upcoming designers to
succeed by enabling them to sell and promote their products online with
little or low risk," says Feldman who is originally from London where he
studied Design himself.
ShopWindoz will grow its number of sellers dramatically over the coming
months. To make it attractive for new sellers to join, they have a special
introductory offer: a free shop until June and from July onwards an entry
package where sellers only pay if they sell something.
