Boost sales in your community…choose CHOOSiE

Are you a maker, seller or local shop wanting to increase sales and engage with customers in your local community? Look no further than the new selling platform CHOOSiE, launched earlier this month; where selling locally just got quicker, simpler and better.

This year has been challenging with local and independent sellers taking a hit, whereas many online retailers have seen sales prosper. Why not join them and start selling online with CHOOSiE - a new and convenient way to get your products noticed and, most importantly, sold.

Setting up a website can be a daunting task – not forgetting expensive – but with CHOOSiE it doesn’t need to be. Visit the CHOOSiE website to set up your store, add your images and descriptions and you can be selling within minutes. Plus, you can even manage it on the move as the website is mobile friendly. An app suitable for iPhone and Android users will launch soon.

Buyers wanting to make a specific purchase can search for the item or, if seeking inspiration, can browse the various categories. Searches prioritise returning the most local businesses first. On finding the product, buyers can find out more about the item and the seller, make a secure payment and either have the item delivered, if the seller offers delivery, or collect it at their convenience.

Unlike other shopping platforms that deduct a hefty commission, the cost to sellers is only 6% on sales with no listing fees, so no financial outlay – meaning there really is more money in your pocket, especially when compared to other major selling platforms.

Rosie Reynolds, CHOOSiE developer, says: “This year has brought many challenges for our local high street. The convenience of online shopping means that local and independent shops are often forgotten about when making a purchase. CHOOSiE brings a new way for you to sell and engage with customers via an already existing platform with minimal cost. 

“I’m so passionate about encouraging people to buy local. Buying local has such a positive effect on the local economy. Now it’s launched we are actively encouraging sellers to come on board to help make CHOOSiE the online go-to place for shopping locally.”

CHOOSiE is free for sellers to register, upload and list products via www.choosie.co.uk. With iPhone and Android apps following very soon.

CHOOSiE was launched on 2nd December 2020 with the sole purpose to connect independent sellers, makers and shops with buyers in their local community.
