Commonplace Ventures

Social-visual merchandising solution

Commonplace is a visual merchandising tool for eBay, Amazon and Etsy sellers. The service allows individuals and businesses to build online display spaces that showcase their products. Like a well designed store window, Commonplace engages customers, drives traffic and generates word of mouth within communities, online and offline. Online marketers face a noisy competitive arena on the Internet. Getting a consumerâ€s attention and click through is harder than ever. Consumerâ€s expectations evolve and their appetite for novelty is endless. Commonplace addresses these issues with a unique media format that is a real time environment for visual merchandising and social interaction. Commonplace is free to casual users. A tiered pricing model based on premium services and add ons allows us to address sellers that range from small time operators to the largest global online retailers. Commonplace launched an invitation only test with Etsy sellers in late 2010. The siteâ€s public launch will take place in June 2011. http://www.commonplace.com
