CHEYENNE, WY / ACCESSWIRE / October 19, 2022 / The U.S Census Bureau of the Department of Commerce announced in August that in the second quarter of 2022, e-commerce sales amounted to over $250B, accounting for 14.5% of total sales in the United States. As e-commerce continues to grow domestically, consumers are searching for ways to combine the convenience of online shopping with the experience of shopping with their friends and family in retail. Despite advancements in the digital landscape, that single solution has remained out of reach.
Carolyn Taylor Bosco understands the frustrations that online shoppers experience when they want to purchase items online but first want input and advice from their closest friends. Carolyn often received messages from her loved ones with links to different products - and while she and her friends could talk about what they were buying, there was no way to truly share the shopping experience in real-time.
Looking around the industry, Carolyn discovered that there was no mobile app that could create an in-person shopping experience online.
So she created it.
Carolyn and her team recently announced the launch of OuiShopp, a first-of-its-kind mobile app that allows users to shop live with their friends. Available through the App Store, OuiShopp (pronounced we-shop) gives users the ability to suggest items to friends, give and get advice, and browse together in real-time using video and voice connection.
The app has already gained popularity with early adopters, ranking #3 on Product Hunt on the first day of its release. Now, Carolyn is beginning a capital raise to accelerate growth and continue to build the platform's unique features.
"We are already moving into Phase 2 of our development, which is to create a back-end platform for ecommerce stores to integrate directly with the app," Carolyn explains. "
In its current iteration, Ouishopp allows users to invite up to 5 friends to a "shopping spree" - there, users can shop on any online store, browse and tag items for advice, suggest items for other friends, and vote on their favorites.
"You can also shop live, where everyone shares their screen," Carolyn says. "When you hit each other's video bubbles, you can directly see where they are shopping and watch them shop live."
With their planned ecommerce integrations, OuiShopp will make it possible for top brands to connect with their customers in an exciting new way.
"A clothing company can host a live shopping event with a personal stylist and invite 50 people for that spree," Carolyn explains. "They will have a lot of capabilities to help their customers make buying decisions on the spot."
As the app continues to grow in popularity, Carolyn and her team plan to open up special accounts for influencers to market affiliate products or their own exclusive brands. It is one of the many ways OuiShopp is bringing the in-person shopping experience to the digital world.
