ShopLocket is Now in Beta! Start Selling Online in Minutes, Risk-Free.
Today, we are very excited to start rolling out beta invites for ShopLocket. (Woohoo!)
ShopLocket lets anyone start selling online in just minutes, risk-free. We help you leverage your social networks, display your product in a beautiful way, and – of course – make more money.
ShopLocket was founded by myself, Katherine Hague, and Andrew Louis. We’re backed by Heather Payne, the company’s first investor and founder of Toronto-based Ladies Learning Code.
The idea for ShopLocket came to me last summer, when I was looking for a way to sell some cute t-shirts I’d had custom-made. Despite my best efforts, I couldn’t find an easy solution for selling a single product from a website, blog post or Facebook Page. Since I only had one product, an online storefront didn’t make sense, and with all the setup time and fees involved, it seemed too risky. All the other alternatives involved redirecting buyers to another site or designing a product listing from scratch. Why was selling a single product online so difficult? This seemed like a problem worth solving.
ShopLocket now makes selling a single product online as simple as it should be. Create. Embed. Sell.
ShopLocket eliminates the shopping cart, the overhead of an online store, and fundamentally changes the way people currently buy and sell products online.
Today, e-commerce in the United States alone is a $196 billion industry, growing at over 11% a year. But, believe it or not, the entire e-commerce industry in the United States is made up of only 51,073 online stores. We believe that all of e-commerce today is just a fraction of the potential market, now that ShopLocket is available to lower the barrier to entry and make it easy for anyone to sell online.
So those t-shirts you have lying around from your last event? Those records your friend had made? That product you’re blogging about? Well, it’s about time you sell them. With ShopLocket, you can get started today – no risk, all reward.
We can’t wait for you to start using ShopLocket. And we’re excited to hear your feedback. You can signup to receive a beta invite now at ShopLocket.com. If you have any questions, comments or suggestions, please email me at Katherine [at] shoplocket.com.
