PERK LABS ENTERS BOOMING US ECOMMERCE MARKET
Perk Labs Inc.'s app and curated lifestyle products are now available to customers in the United States.
"The e-commerce market in the United States is more than 10 times the size of Canada's and represents a massive market opportunity for our company," says Perk Labs chief executive officer Jonathan Hoyles. "We're entering 2021 with excellent momentum and expect that demand from U.S. customers will further accelerate Perk's growth. In the past, we've had many Americans, including existing shareholders, that have expressed their desire to make purchases using our platform, and we are very happy to finally make that opportunity available to them. We also look forward to growing our merchant base in the United States, which is home to a lot of high-quality brands."
The pandemic has accelerated e-commerce growth in the U.S., with on-line sales in 2020 reaching levels not previously anticipated until 2022. U.S. e-commerce sales were projected to reach $794.5-billion in 2020, up 32.4 per cent year over year.
Perk has already enabled over 65 per cent of its e-commerce merchant partners to sell and ship to the U.S. through the Perk Hero mobile app. U.S. customers can now choose from a wide variety of high-quality lifestyle products in categories such as men's self-care, jewellery, scented candles, leather goods, eco-friendly, and food and drink, among many others. New features in the Perk Hero app supporting the U.S. expansion include auto detection of the user's country on sign-up, allowing users to select a country-specific marketplace, multicurrency and U.S. shipping. Perk is also working to make digital gift cards available for sale in the U.S. through the Perk Hero app as soon as possible.
