Excited to share a new tactical guide with our friends at Loop 🔥 Since its inception, Loop has dedicated its craft to reducing the friction associated with online returns. As a company that thrives on customer-centricity, you could say we're big fans of what they do.

This is where TryNow comes in. With TryNow providing shoppers with the confidence needed to convert and Loop ensuring their post-purchase process is as seamless as possible, delivering a customer-centric experience that drives incremental revenue has never been easier. “Loop prides itself in de-stressing the returns process for brands and shoppers alike.

🎉 Celebrating a Year of Achievements with ScrollEngine! 🚀 Today marks a remarkable milestone in our journey with ScrollEngine's local delivery and pickup app. One year ago, we began this adventure with uncertainty and no clear path ahead. Looking back, the progress we've made in such a short time is truly astounding. In the span of just 5-6 months, our collective dedication and hard work have yielded incredible results. None of us could have predicted the level of success we've achieved. We've not only exceeded our own expectations but also demonstrated the power of perseverance and commitment. Although our revenue may be catching up slowly, we are confident that the next six months will bring the financial rewards we deserve. Our journey started with a single step, and together, we've taken leaps. The unity and determination we've displayed are bound to deliver the results we've envisioned. Today, let's pause and celebrate the milestone of reaching 1000 merchants using our product. These numbers aren't mere statistics – they represent the profound impact we've had on local businesses, processing 500-700 orders daily. We've fostered a community built on collaboration and growth. Yet, this is not our final destination. Our focus now turns to the next milestone: welcoming 1000 more merchants and expanding our ScrollEngine family with new paying customers. Together, hand in hand, we continue to enhance local commerce and convenience. To each of you, my heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering belief in ScrollEngine's potential, your dedication, and your hard work. Let's view this achievement not as an end but as a stepping stone toward greater heights.

Did you see Temu at the SuperBowl half-time show commercial? Can you imagine how expensive those pieces of medias were? : )) 📣 Chinese e-commerce app, Temu, just made a jaw-dropping move to revitalize its declining sales in the US. 💸 They went all in during the Super Bowl, investing millions in not one, not two, but SIX rounds of the same ad! 😲 But that's not all, they also offered a whopping $10 million in giveaways! 🎉 📉 Temu's sales took a hit recently, with a 12.5% drop in December and a further 4.8% decline in January. This is a significant shift from their previous explosive growth of over 50% back in mid-2023. 💥 Now, you might be wondering why an e-commerce giant like Temu would go to such extremes. Well, it's simple: they're determined to turn things around and reignite their sales in the US market! 🔥 🌟 This bold strategy not only grabs attention but also creates a buzz that's hard to ignore. By going big and taking risks, Temu is showing its commitment to winning back customers and reclaiming its spot at the top. 👉 So, what can we learn from Temu's audacious move? We will see : ) Was it out-of-box thinking? Nope. It was a power move. But disrupting the status quo is always interesting! #AleronIT  #SoftwareDevelopment #Fintech
