On-Demand Web Stores Featuring Custom Merchandise Let Any Business,
Organization or Team Add New Revenues at Little or No Cost
Propell Corporation today announced the upcoming launch of
PropellStores™, a new service that will allow any company, group or
brand to instantly create an “on-demand” web store featuring custom
merchandise and embed it in their web site.
As part of the announcement, Propell disclosed that it has signed up
more than 10 partners in several categories, targeting online social
communities, computer game, military and sports websites, as well as
schools and nonprofits.
“Using our simple, self-service website, anyone with a logo, photo or
other artwork can instantly design products and create a store,” said Ed
Bernstein, Propell’s CEO. “Partners choose which products they want to
sell, set the prices, and their store is complete. They can then easily
– with just a single line of code – embed the store to their own
website.”
To sign up, store owners simply visit www.propellstores.com,
where they can choose from dozens of items, from T-shirts to posters and
more, and then set up their store. Propell does all manufacturing and
fulfillment, and then pays the profit to the store owner. With larger
organizations that may have local websites or chapters, Propell shares
revenue between the parent organization and the local group.
“We believe this opportunity to add incremental revenue to any website –
at little or no cost – has substantial appeal, especially in a
challenging economic climate where organizations have limited
resources,” Bernstein said.
Propell says key targets for its service are nonprofits including
schools and charitable organizations, as well as large and small
businesses.
Unlike competing offerings, PropellStores™ appear to be a part of the
store owner’s web site – rather than Propell’s, Bernstein said. “Our
service is designed so that our partner’s store uses their branding, and
is fully integrated with their web site.
