Shopster e-Commerce the world's leading Merchant Network is celebrating their 5th year in business, and is preparing for their most successful year ever. The Calgary based company has seen exponential growth in the eCommerce space, and is forging new ways to bring merchants and suppliers together, much as the eBay model did for buyers and sellers.
Thousands of businesses build online stores on the Shopster Network each year, and the Shopster platform processes millions of dollars in product sales annually. Their broad membership allows Shopster the perspective to continuously improve its software to facilitate all aspects of running a profitable online business.
In 2009, as the economy is changing underfoot, Shopster's flexible model continues to evolve. Shopster PowerMerchant, which was recently launched in April 2009 (http://www.shopster.com/e-commerce.aspx) is Shopster's new platform which focuses on giving merchants the power to customize their consumer's experience, and builds in the flexibility merchants need to adapt their business strategy to the changing times.
"After five years servicing the eCommerce market, Shopster has the advantage of sales data and feedback from thousands of online businesses. We can predict online retailing behavior better than any other eCommerce solution out there. In 2009, this advantage is being built right into our product. Through a series of product releases over the next few months, Shopster PowerMerchant will become the most effective solution available to carry businesses successfully through this downturn in the economy, helping them grow their business without growing their costs," says Sarath Samarasekera, co-founder and CEO of Shopster e-Commerce.
