Builder Buzz: A Studio Store app for every small-to-medium business

Builders,

Not too long ago, we shared our most exciting launch of Studio Store with you here. It feels like yesterday! Studio Store, a range of pre-packaged apps - beginning with e-commerce and delivery - was designed to let businesses go digital faster and at a fraction of the cost of building from scratch.

As you probably know, the first apps we released served the specific needs of businesses across e-commerce and delivery - such as flower shops, grocery stores and clothiers, and could be delivered to a customer in as little as 8 weeks. Since then, we’ve witnessed a ceaseless disruption across all industries globally by COVID-19, stopping, changing or morphing the way businesses have interacted with their customers. So, we wanted to help more!

Today, among those most vulnerable are the smaller businesses without an online presence that depend on their customers to walk through their doors. While we know that there remains a lot of uncertainty right now, SMBs are presented with an opportunity to rethink how they do business. This is the time when having a digital presence will be critical, which is why we are now extending our offerings to all SMBs- to help them leapfrog ahead.

Studio Store now offers apps for beauty, fitness, food, healthcare and education services.

Which means if you own a spa, gym, restaurant, school, college, hospital or dental clinic, then you can also benefit from quick digital transformation at a small price...and the FIRST 3 MONTHS ARE FREE!
