What Women Want: More Shoes!

Veedow’s New PR and Marketing Specialist

My name is Sabrina Coady, I’m the new Marketing and PR Specialist for Veedow.com. I come to Veedow from Seattle, WA, USA, where I received my Bachelors Degree in Public Relations and Business Marketing. I have a background in the technology, non-profit and media sectors.

In Seattle, I was an avid user of Veedow and as I stumbled upon many cool products, I stumbled upon a job posting. The first time I came across the job posting, I immediately went to check out the Veedow team. As I witnessed a team of four men; two Italians, one Polish and one British, I made a direct connection to the movie “What Women Want”. Now, since these guys don’t have the ability to have a gender-specific telepathy, I was convinced that the best way to reach their community was for me to try on a new pair of shoes! (ie: jump on a plane to London and discover “What Online Shoppers Want.”)

A registered user as of June 2008, I’ve learned how fun online shopping is without the hassle of searching. Shopping online can be an overwhelming or daunting task, especially if you don’t know exactly what you’re looking for. For example, if use a search engine to type in general key words such as “wine glasses”, the wonderful world wide web will produce millions of results. Sifting through page after page to find what I’m looking for is not my idea of fun or convenience (that is what we use the internet for, right?). Also, the criteria used by Google, John Lewis or the likes, displays products to me that do not necessarily reflect what’s best for ME specifically. Veedow, on the other hand, displays products that are specifically related to my interest and its’ knowledge of my taste gets better over time without asking me to do anything more than just enjoy the service.

A personalised shopping page with product recommendations that relate to my unique tastes is my idea of fun and convenience! Hence, my love for Veedow. It’s not just any ordinary shopping experience. Rather, it’s a way to window shop from my computer, get inspired and stumble upon original products that I describe as having the “wow! factor”. In most cases, the products are not something I would have specifically searched for and therefore, never would have discovered, or perhaps I would have after arriving on page 1,908 of results. Don’t get me wrong, if searching for something specific, Google or other related search engines are my best friends, however, if I’m looking to get inspired and discover something new, I use Veedow.

There you have it, the foundation I’m walking on in my new shoes, Veedow’s PR and Marketing Director. I look forward to shopping with you all on Veedow.com! You can find my profile here, so send me a friend request and tell me “what do online shoppers want?”.
