Bijou Commerce

Bijou Commerce’s mission is to transform the way retailers, brands and publishers engage, retain and monetize their customers on mobile. Retail customers are going mobile, but many retailers haven’t worked out how to turn high volumes of engagement on mobile into conversions.

Every retailer knows they should have a great mobile website, but many aren’t aware of how mobile apps can drive engagement and revenue from their most loyal customers – and most aren’t taking advantage of technologies – like personalization algorithms and push notifications – that are proven to drive revenue and engagement on mobile. For retailers who are convinced of the value of a mobile app, getting one to market that’s properly integrated with their existing systems, scalable and future proofed can be difficult.

Bijou Commerce solves this by providing high performing mobile apps as a cloud solution, allowing retailers to launch deeply integrated apps without major disruption to their tech roadmap. Bijou integrates deeply into retailers’ existing e-commerce systems via easy-to-install plugins, and synchronises the all the key product, stock, order and user information in real time.

This way retailers can avoid costly and frustrating data discontinuity between website and apps, and get to market quickly.. .

These talks are free and we often run 2 or 3 different talks each night (except Friday, when our team goes for a drink 🙂 If you learned something new at any of our talks, the deal is you try it out at work or on your pet project and, if you learn something new whilst doing so, we hope you come back to share what you’ve learned with others in our community! We also run some 25 different conferences every year, both in London and New York. We ussually run a conference when we have discovered a new trend of ideas, technology or practice – we believe in it – and are keen to spread the word …

Our 1 or 2 day eXchanges offer a brilliant opportunity to learn all about these in a small, intimate environment where speakers and attendees mingle, share skills and attend talks. With plenty of breaks and a speaker delegate ratio of 1:6, you can really spend time directly with the creators – to learn what the technology is now, but also where it is going.

BOOM25 is a retail fine-tech technology that provides software application platform. Its platform specializes in consumer offers, affiliate marketing, and online shopping.

The company was founded in 2014 by Eyal Torjman and is headquartered in London, England, United Kingdom.. RMI commissioned research that revealed an estimated £2.9bn was spent on items in the UK in 2011 that were rarely used or haven’t been used, including £650M spent by women on clothes and £240M on DIY tools.

The Guardian newspaper has said RMI is one of the “Ten ways to boost your finances in 2012”. At present there is much press coverage about what has become known as Collaborative Consumption – we are seeing a shift from the 20th century of hyper consumption to the 21st century of Collaborative Consumption.

It has been said that Collaborative Consumption is “a new socio-economic ‘big idea’ promising a revolution in the way we consume”. There are proven success stories of similar businesses in the USA and Time Magazine has said that Collaborative Consumption is one of the top ten ideas that will change the world.

In order to gain traction on the site listing items are currently free and no commission is taken on rentals. We are looking to introduce a commission model upon successful fundraising and redevelopment of the site.

The principal objective of the business is therefore to develop a recurring monthly revenue stream based on the number of items listed. The company will not be involved in the actual rental process of each item, and this will be contracted directly between the owner and individual renting the item.
