Featured
Impulse.
Today the livelihood of small stores and their owners depends on unfair algorithms and inconsistent engagement.
This has to change.
Problem.
Impulse.
"Pay To Win" Social Platforms Damage Engagement.
Expensive for smaller stores using paid ads to reach target audience. Implausible to build or maintain strong relationships with their community on saturated social platforms where only 7% of followers see content.
No Dedicated Social Shopping App.
Online shopping is scattered and over-complicated. No single space to connect, communicate, rewards, shop and sell.
Social Followers Don't Convert to Cash.
The effort put into building strong social media followings does not always convert into multiple transactions and repeat customers.
Solution.
The Complete App.
A chronological social space that collates a users favourite stores, influencers and friends - all on a platform designed to reward shopper engagement.
Customer Touch Points.
A set of social tools that turns followers into fans. Impulse makes them feel like an insider and a vital community member.
