The revolutionary new Singapore based shopping app, Wholee Prime, has stormed the UK download charts following its official launch last month. Clocking over 100,000 downloads on both the Google Play and Apple’s App Store, the app gives users access to a radical new global shopping platform that offers a zero-mark-up pricing model. Users only pay for the production cost on millions of products across a range of categories, including modern consumer fashion, lifestyle and beauty products – the price is set by the manufacturer and saves consumers from having to pay for distribution and marketing costs they usually face.
Having already surged ahead of other popular shopping apps, such as Wish, Wholee Prime now has over 10,000 Prime members and boasts a week-on-week growth rate in excess of 50 per cent. To further fuel the app’s popularity, Wholee has launched a fun new in-app function that allows users to earn prizes and rewards by inviting friends to become members.
“Our success shows there’s a real appetite and demand for a transformative approach to retail in the UK,” said a Wholee spokesperson. “Major e-commerce shopping apps are more focussed on charging sellers high commission which makes the product more costly for the end consumer. Wholee is the latest stage in the evolution of retail and e-commerce, aiming to make it an equitable industry where sellers don’t pay any commission charges and end consumers only pay the actual cost of the product.”
