I was considering this software for our ecommerce based start up in the floral space. When I entered the account I was happy to see the social media options will be focusing on for our brand which is very visual including Pinterest, Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. The ecommerce options included Paypal which was good as this will be our primary merchant provider for the foreseeable future. Though to have the Shopify option there as well was good to note. You can customize your store in basic but important ways such as logo, color theme, layout and favicon. They seem to have basic search engine optimization requirements covered with regards as well. I like the drag and drop technology which makes it really easy to make adjustments to your campaigns. The hosting is included which is certainly a great benefit not having to worry about website monitoring and uptime. Their middle and premium plan include consulting time with a marketing expert each month which is how this company differentiates itself best in my opinion. This time could be worth the price alone depending on the competency of the consultant and their commitment to helping you succeed.

Having thirty color themes to choose from was good with thirty, but it would be useful to enable further customization in this area in my opinion. As a very visual brand in the luxury space our brand's attention to detail in this regard I believe must truly stand out and if there were other companies using our same color theme it doesn't reflect well when we're attempting to be one of a kind.

This is a simple platform to implement if you have no coding experience or have never used Wordpress and Paypal, or Shopify. It is a sound platform and very simple to setup a store front which in itself is a remarkable feat not even possible previously in this lifetime. Compared to the cost of setting up a brick and mortar storefront it's no brainer in my opinion. And while this platform integrates with Paypal and Shopify in my opinion it doesn't differentiate itself enough from them either as a standalone product or as an integration. Considering Wordpress and Paypal are both free to get started with with the exception of the cost of hosting which could run you perhaps ten to fifteen dollars per month it's tough to justify their pricing. It is reasonable and possible to obtain a significant return on investment certainly, but the social media component is not quite enough to differentiate it to either have us switch from our current Wordpress platform, or sway us from using Shopify if that was the case as there are so many more integrations possible with Shopify. Overall, it is a simple ecommerce platform in my opinion with a lot of features though perhaps their timing in the market hasn't enabled them to get the exposure it deserves.
