Propell Launches "PropellStores " E-Commerce Service for Schools, Clubs, Businesses or Individuals
(BUSINESS WIRE)
Propell Corporation today announced the official launch of
PropellStores , a new service which allows any person, company, school,
non profit, club or organization to instantly create an "on-demand" web
store featuring custom merchandise - at no cost.
A PropellStore can either be embedded in any existing site, or serve as
a free, standalone web store for anyone who does not currently have a
website (for example, http://yourname.propellstores.com, with
"yourname" being any unique word or phrase, such as your company or
club's name).
PropellStores has been operating in pre-launch "beta" mode for several
months with great customer acceptance, and has signed contracts with
numerous customers in the military, education, corporate and non-profit
categories.
Along with the launch of the official site, PropellStores now also
offers an entirely new range of products - including standard, "hip" and
"green" apparel, as well as an assortment of personalized gift items
such as mugs, mousepads, posters and more.
A PropellStore "owner" sets up a store in just a few minutes by
uploading artwork, selecting which apparel or gifts to sell, and
applying the images to create a final store. Customers can then reach
the store with a simple web address that Propell provides - or it can be
embedded in the individual or organization's existing web site.
Propell has been successful in signing contracts with key corporate
partners, including large players in the school, military and corporate
markets. Through these contracts, Propell is working with individual
schools, military bases, non-profit organizations and corporate
customers throughout North America to create web stores.
"PropellStores is a great tool for any non-profit, school or corporation
to use in their fundraising efforts," said Ed Bernstein, Propell's CEO.
"In today's economy, everyone is looking for new ways to both promote
their programs and raise money, yet few have room in their budgets to
pay for new programs. With PropellStores, our service is free to set up.
Therefore each group using our service is creating a brand new revenue
stream with no additional expense!"
Store owners can choose from dozens of items, from T-shirts to posters
and more. Propell does all manufacturing and fulfillment, and then pays
a percentage to the store owner. With larger organizations that may have
local websites or chapters, Propell shares revenue with both the parent
organization and the local group.
"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. We build their
brand, not ours - and share a significant portion of the revenue."
Even during these economic times, PropellStores is expecting strong
growth. "We refer to our service as a 'recession-buster': regardless of
the economic difficulties, we're selling a service which is free and
adds profit to any existing business," Bernstein said.
