AUSTIN, TEXAS, July 21, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – City Shoppe, the leading e-commerce platform for conscious consumers discovering small businesses (Shoppes), today announced the opening of its newest shopping location in Chicago, Illinois. This is the fifth subway to have official e-commerce support from the City Shoppe platform. Small business owners from the Chicago area can join the platform to sell and build brand awareness and market share on the City Shoppe platform.
“Chicago is the heartbeat of the Midwest, and so many small businesses need the support of an ethical e-commerce site like City Shoppe to reach their customers,” said Ash Cintas, founder of City Shoppe. “From pet supplies to candles that infuse a home with the most delicious smells, City Shoppe has partnered with some of the most unique small businesses in the Chicago area, with more shoppes added weekly.”
City Shoppe is a twist on the growing “Buy Local” movement as a two-way marketplace:
For individual small business owners (Shoppes), City Shoppe enables them to automate their businesses, increase their revenues and focus on their Forté offerings. City Shoppe is currently free for new shoppers and offers a number of attractive white glove services, including virtual shoppe creation, 24/7 customer support, scheduled shipping and delivery, brand recognition and recognition, cross-marketing opportunities, automatic POS Integration website synchronization. Shoppes are able to grow their business by focusing on their Forté offerings and borrowing more of the needs of business strategy and support from City Shoppe. For the steadily growing, conscious consumer sect, City Shoppe introduces highly curated and cultivated brands to buyers in order to establish a connection to a place via the constantly growing trend of “digital tourism” and at the same time to strengthen the local economy and support brands that are right consistent with the beliefs and values of the customer.
On City Shoppe, local Chicagoers and tourists at home can purchase home town shops like Beverly & Third. Consumers looking to browse Chicago’s numerous small businesses can use the City Shoppe Directory to find local small businesses nearby such as The Frenchie Store, based in Elgin, Illinois.
City Shoppe marketplace currently supports hundreds of shoppers from across the United States. Shipping is included and curb delivery is available when the customer or gift recipient is on site.
Research shows that when consumers spend $ 100 on a national chain, only $ 43 remains in the community, while “shopping locally” allows an average of about $ 25 more to stay in that community. City Shoppe fulfills a need by listening to and engaging with the priorities of small and medium-sized businesses that sit between Etsy and Amazon while promoting conscious consumer spending. Customers who shop at City Shoppe have a positive impact on the local economy and allow the revenue in these locations to actually remain in line with local state taxes.
City Shoppe will officially launch its small business services in 15 additional subways this year, while helping hundreds of other US Shoppes who are already on the platform and sell. By the end of 2021, City Shoppe will have hundreds of Shoppes on the platform by the end of 2021.
