ELEVATOR PITCH

Finally an app for serious shoppers on holiday.

PRODUCT/SERVICE DESCRIPTION

Wandrshop is an app for people who love to shop when they travel. There are so many resources for general travel—where to go, how to get there, where to stay, where to eat, what to see and do…

…but there’s something missing. Where is the organized information on where to shop?

So we just launched Wandrshop on the app store: https://itunes.apple.com/app/id975960766

The app features 11 great shopping destinations: Dubai, Hong Kong, Lisbon, London, Los Angeles, Madrid, Milan, Munich, New York, Paris, and Singapore. More cities on the way!

The app is also available in five different languages: English, Spanish, French, Chinese, and Japanese.

Alongside some of the world’s greatest travel destinations are amazing shops, products, and people ready to help travelers find that perfect, memorable item to take back home.

DIFFERENTIATORS VS. THE COMPETITION

When a traveler is on location, how do they know what size to try, how to ask basic shopping questions, how to shop tax free, is the shop open on Sunday, do they have siesta hours, is there public transport, etc. Shopping should be a fun experience rather than an overwhelming one.

FOUNDER’S STORY

We have always put shopping high on our travel itinerary. We travel to over 10 cities a year for shopping, culture and adventure.

From fashion to home furnishings and unique gifts, our friends and family have always been amazed at what we can find. We’ve had adventures and learned loads from our travels.

We believe everyone should enjoy shopping not be overwhelmed and hope that Wandrshop helps them do just that.
