Shopping itself is fun, but not when you have lot of other stuff to do and to shop your desired stuff you need to travel long to the malls and then roam around for hour and hours without any success.
Rather than spending hours of driving and the walking around a mall, many people now prefer spending an hour on visually pleasing product sites from where they can build a quick wish list.
With Pinterest, and some more similar platforms the concept of social shopping has progressed from a fad to a legitimate way of buying online. And by now there are various social shopping sites operating already. More are constantly launching with the hope of becoming the Next Big Thing.
The success of social shopping websites is actually not in making the ‘buying’ prominent, rather making shopping seem fun. That’s how the buying and sharing seem natural.
To make social shopping fun, Kikr is on the way to make debut on iOs and Android sooner. Kikr as it claims on website is a way to shop and share products from your favorite designers and stores while earning money for your recommendations. You apply for the account, once you get it, you can create collections of the products you love and earn real money for any of the purchases made by your followers.
Seems real fun! And, more than just fun; it’s a rewarding fun!
Kikr in Their Own Words:
A unique social commerce platform catering to the social generation that delivers personalized offers, deals and recommendations based on users interests and purchase behavior. We are mobile focused and have integrated features that other e-commerce sites and apps have not (BLE Beacon targeting, mobile payments, universal checkout cart) that will set us apart from others in market. We have brought on over 10k power influencers prior to launching.
What Brings Kikr in the Spotlight:
So far there’s no social commerce platform that rewards users to curate their own collections and share the product recommendations with others. A direct method of rewarding users who build and drive traffic to their profiles along with integrating a digital payment solution via mobile card is something that will be useful to many social geeks out there!
