FlipNpik: The collaborative commercial social media
A few days back I received my first salary and decided to go on a shopping spree all by myself. I decided to search a few e-commerce websites and scroll through Insta to have a peek-a-boo on the latest trends and fad and to pick up recommendations from my pals. Last minute changes made me throng the local marketplace on the incessant insistence of my mum. I gave a squeak at the idea but voila! This was a treasure island for me. The variety local shops had to offer in terms of colors, sizes and customization was humongous marked with the superb customer attention. I felt grateful but was queasy to the fact that slowly, the internet fad has made us too brand conscious and we are almost forgetting the local touch and detailing a small shop from a nearby market could provide let alone the unexplored accessories and footwear.
In terms of economics as well, local and small-scale businesses tend to create greater employment opportunities and contribute much more to the economy. Still, they remain highly absent from the online scene which is a party to a few centralized biggies. The platform FliNpik does the trick here. Recognising the importance of traditional businesses and local shops, it aims to create an ecosystem where all such entities and customers can come together and sustain each other's needs.
They call themselves as the first collaborative commercial social media offering local businesses a complete, customized solution.
