ONLINE SHOPPING 2.0 –SOCIAL MARKETPLACE

The Elevator Pitch

For Consumers who want more personalization and social experience in online shopping

we provide a Social marketplace.

Unlike current online selling models, on our platform ,

customers and local merchants are directly connected and are free to sell or to give offers to each other. The Social network in the platform enables authentic reviews, personalization and sharing which helps in informed shopping, social curation and discovery, delivering an unparalleled social shopping experience.

What is the verdict I can trust?

But at which merchant are they buying ?

Problems for Local Merchants

Online Shopping Status Quo

No “Platform” Available• Not designed for commerce• No Reviews facility. Likes isn’t a review• Limited Reach through Pages for small guys• Can’t create customized Sales/Offers• Makes sense for big brands only

G-Market:

• Not Social.• No social reviews/curation/discovery

And Problems With Deal Sites..

They control the economics

Marketing is weak and transient

Too much paper work, contracts etc

How we solve problems for merchants

Detailed profile page. Permanent exposure

No separate contracts, no paperwork mountains
