2. THE PROBLEM!
Influencers and celebrities drive the latest fashion,
yet we don’t know where to find those items and "
if we do find them, they are always pricey."
Yes, we all want to look a million dollars. "
Unfortunately none of us have "
a million dollars to spend!"

3. SOLUTION?!
We created a mobile based shopping platform that
allows you to draw inspiration from your favourite
influencers."
"
• Allow you to directly buy the clothes they "
are wearing in the photographs."
• Present to you almost identical items to buy "
for a fraction of the price."
"
We are a fashion inspiration engine."
"
Shopcade saves you time and money."

10. RISKS!
In order to really build credibility and engagement, "
you need a voice."
And you need to be opinionate, "
create values and stand by them. "
"
You need to find the right balance;"
"
No opinion = small audience of non buyers"
Very opinionated = small audience very good buyers"
"

11. THE CHALLENGE FOR YOUNGER EMERGING BRANDS!
• Search = too expensive"
• Ad retargeting = only viable if you have already visited
the brands website"
• Affiliates = challenging as most of the affiliate industry
is interested in featuring brands that are already well
respected and have high conversion rates"
• Email marketing = good but tricky way of engaging"
"
This is why Shopcade works so well for emerging brands."
