Zellebrate executives have been presenting at recent WI investor conferences in the UK and Australia, and as a result, industry experts in retail and online marketplaces have come out in support.
They acknowledge that Zellebrate’s ability to represent up to 75% of all retail sales around the world (i.e. the “local” (over-the-counter) component – £6 trillion a year) on a single platform is nothing short of astounding.
They all agree that the complexity of the solution required to do so more than justifies the 4 years or so it’s taken to put it together, and it’s no surprise that there is no other platform in this space.
Sales and marketing professionals have taken it a step further and identified Zellebrate as a key disrupter. They recognise that Zellebrate will digitise local retailing under one umbrella, making it far more competitive in today’s “Ecommerce” world.
According to one expert, Zellebrate could be Retail Gen 2.0 – a central hub where all retailers and their physical stores can finally unite as one and more intimately ‘connect’ with local shoppers en masse. He claims that consumers want the instant gratification that comes with shopping on Amazon and other online-only behemoths. So, when it comes to local retail, Zellebrate is finally there.
As a result, many family offices and HNWs are starting to hear about Zellebrate and verbal commitments to its current £1.5m funding round (which takes it to monetisation and expansion into the UK, USA, Australia, and Canada) are starting to come in.
Zellebrate’s founder and CEO, Chris Russell, welcomes any enquiries.
