"Shopcade is the go-to app for fashion lovers who are looking for celeb styles, real-life trends and deals," explains Nathalie Gaveau, Shopcade Founder & CEO.
(PRWEB) December 22, 2013
With an update of its iPhone application and the release of its new Android app, Shopcade is now making it easier for young fashionistas to keep up with top trends and deals.
Keeping up with new fashion styles takes a large amount of time and effort, and the same goes for keeping up with good deals or even finding the best-priced items for the looks girls and guys covet. Shopcade, a daily source of fashion trends and deals, introduces a one-stop shop for time and cost-conscious young fashionistas.
Everyday the app features looks from the celebs style-setters admire, the bloggers that inspire them, the magazines they read, and Shopcade’s own community of trend setters. When users find products they like, they can shop or save them for later and get alerted whenever they go on sale.
As Nathalie Gaveau, Shopcade Founder & CEO, explains: "Shopcade is the go-to app for fashion lovers who are looking for celeb styles, real-life trends and deals."
Shopcade is available on the AppStore and on the Google Play Store for free.
Main app features:
- Daily trends: Login daily to see today's most fashionable celeb looks, street styles, trends and deals on a personalized "Trending" tab.
- Personalized infinite wishlist: Every product can be saved to personalized lists, making it easier to shop them later or share with friends and followers. It's also easy to use lists to share individual styles with the community. It's simple to revisit all personalized lists in a “Profile” tab.
- Deal alerts: Shopcade keeps tabs on deals on all products a user wanted, and will alert then when they go on sale, including price drops or special offers on your “Deals” tab. Shopcade will also get exclusive deals for them if a product or brand becomes popular on Shopcade.
- More than just fashion: Users can also browse for beauty, home, gadgets and other items in Shopcade’s catalogue of more than 100 million products and 150,000 brands.
- Join Shopcade's fashionista community: Users can discover and follow favorite brands, trendsetters and lists to stay connected.

Behind the scenes…
Unlike other online shopping marketplaces that base recommendations on previous shopping activity, the entire Shopcade experience - from what is seen in a users feed to what deals and products are ranked highest in searches - is primarily based on shoppers’ social and interest graphs. Discovery of other shoppers whose opinions can be trusted, is facilitated by Shopcade's Trend Score, inspired by Klout’s influence rating program. Graph technologies and natural language processing are at the heart of this online shopping breakthrough -- connecting users with other Shopcaders, deals, brands, and retailers they'll love.
Shopcade is currently active in the US and the UK, and looking forward to launching new countries next year.

"Goodbye to trailing voucher sites! Loving the 'Deals on products I want'! Even easier to pick up a bargain, especially when there's multiple deals to choose from. Sooooo much easier than trailing through voucher sites or even more annoying spotting a code just after you've clicked pay."
