Hi There!
We are PorchLight Home Staging popping on to welcome you back to our blog. The way this blog thing works is that on the first Friday of every month, we will celebrate the much needed weekend by releasing our monthly blog. In these short but sweet articles, we will mesh the world of home staging (our forte) with current events and fashion trends. Before we get started, we wanted to let you know that we are taking a hiatus from the monthly blogs! For our last topic, we only found it fitting to further promote and familiarize our customers with our online shopping capabilities as well as give you some facts on the world of online shopping. We may be biased, but this info is super helpful and can serve as a tool to read up about the new things PorchLight is doing…
The Gravity of Online Shopping
We all know the effects and advantages to online shopping: convenience, instant gratification, etc. But let’s talk about the platforms who have really jumped on this opportunity and help companies (like PorchLight) give our customers personalized and easy shopping experiences. We know looking for furniture and decor for your space can be a daunting task, so we want to act as your personal shoppers to mitigate any stress. According to the government census, The first quarter 2023 e-commerce estimate increased 7.8 percent (±1.6%) from the first quarter of 2022 while total retail sales increased 3.4 percent (±0.4%). This apparent growth just further confirmed that our company needed to be a part of this online space. Online shopping is the way to go for these tasks because you can read thousands of trusted reviews, explore hundreds of options without leaving your home, and easily purchase items at the click of a button. So what platform are we using to help you with this?
Like To Know It (LTK)
In 2014, Amber Venz Box, launched LIKEtoKNOW.it after years of exploring other entrepreneurial routes (can someone say “girl boss??”). The service makes it possible for users to buy merchandise that they see their favorite Instagram influencers wearing. When a shopper likes a picture on Instagram or clicks on a linked product, they are transported to LTK’s website and the personal page of said influencer which hosts more links leading the shopper to where they can buy the item they liked. Since 2014, shoppers have purchased more than $250 million in merchandise via the LTK service!
