Client: Pop Store

http://popstore.shop.venda.com
Pop Store is a new retail concept, unique in it’s ‘celebration of the temporary’ by breaking with traditional retail convention and offering a new style of exclusivity; a one time, limited opportunity to buy exciting brands and indulge in a totally different retail experience.  The Pop Store philosophy is that each store is created in the shell of a fallen retailer or a disused shop – and only exists for two to three months before moving onto a new venue.

“With the challenge to maintain trade and an online presence between ‘bricks and mortar’ stores, it was obvious from the outset we needed to have an e-commerce arm of Pop Store and quickly – as we were attracting a lot of press interest and we wanted to capitalise on that attention” says Samuel Clapp, Founder of Pop Store.

We asked Standing Wave , who have developed web sites for our other businesses, and they recommended Powa as a solution as it met our time (no time at all) and cash (no budget at all) constraints

“Standing Wave designed, built and launched our site in matter of days using the Powa System . It not only satisfied our requirements but was incredibly quick and hassle free to get up and running. The day to day management of the system and order fulfilment is also easy”

“We would recommend Powa to any business wanting to get an e-commerce presence up and running in a quick and straight forward way”

“We have developed a number sites for clients using custom built e-commerce systems or installing one of the many template system available” says Andrew Cadman of Standing Wave “but developing systems in the Powa system has been a refreshing change; it works, it has good functionality, its simple to build, its simple to maintain. Renting its use on a monthly basis gives start ups and small businesses a really low cost of entry to e-commerce . All round it’s a great product and I firmly recommend it.”
