With our new feature “Builder”, anybody can build the store of their dreams. And it doesn’t just have to be an entrepreneur. We held a fun little contest at Instamojo, where the employees themselves took a crack at ‘building the store of their dreams’.Â
The winner of the contest was chosen on the basis of:
- Creativity shown in homepage customisationÂ
- Effective marketing widgets addedÂ
- The overall look and feel of the online storeÂ
We encouraged our team to just have fun. After all, building an online store has never been easier. You need ZERO coding skills. Just drag and drop, choose your favourite multimedia elements, and customise your fonts, colours and layouts. Your very own unique online store is ready!Â
We also tell you what we liked and why so you can use them for your online store!Â
So which Instamojoite had the online store that will make you want to smash the “Buy Now” button?Â
Our team takes pride in understanding what a growing D2C eCommerce brand needs! And step 1 of that is to go through the struggle themselves.
From sales, customer support, marketing, and engineers to even the leadership – everyone had a fun day using the platform of Instamojo as a customer.
