GlobeTails Revolutionizes Shopping Streets with 'Shoumaru'
In a significant move aimed at rejuvenating local shopping streets, GlobeTails Inc. has officially launched its new homepage creation service specifically designed for shopping areas, named "Shoumaru." This innovative service debuted on May 19 and promises to streamline the process of digital communication for local businesses, providing an easy and comprehensive solution for establishing an online presence that caters specifically to the needs of shopping streets.
Shoumaru comes with a user-friendly interface optimized for smartphones, ensuring vital information regarding shops, news, events, history, and access maps are well-organized and easily accessible. This layout addresses the needs of both local residents and visitors alike, facilitating better communication and enhancing the shopping experience in the community.
Addressing Local Needs
The service is primarily targeted at shopping streets located in the areas of Tokyo, Saitama, Chiba, and Kanagawa. Many shopping districts are grappling with common challenges such as maintaining an online presence, managing updates, and ensuring that relevant information is conveyed clearly. GlobeTails, recognizing that many local businesses lack the expertise or resources to effectively manage web content, has crafted Shoumaru as an easy-to-use solution that requires no specialized knowledge for operation.
The importance of shopping streets in contemporary society extends beyond just being retail spaces; they are now considered essential infrastructure supporting community life. They help foster human connections while showcasing the unique culture, history, and character of the region. The Small and Medium Enterprise Agency has also acknowledged the crucial role of shopping streets in boosting local employment and community engagement, further emphasizing the need for dedicated support to preserve and enhance these vital hubs of activity.
However, many shopping streets face hurdles such as sporadic website updates, the challenge of disseminating event information, lack of mobile-friendly designs, and disorganized content that hampers effective communication with users. To tackle these issues, GlobeTails undertook a survey where they visited multiple shopping districts to understand the struggles faced by local shop owners and directors first-hand.
Key Features and Benefits of Shoumaru
The result is a service that balances essential functionalities required by shopping streets with the ease of implementation. Shoumaru offers a comprehensive package where everything from initial content organization and website design to writing, photography, and site building can be managed by GlobeTails, allowing local businesses to focus on their core activities. After the launch, shop owners will still be able to update their sites without needing any technical skills thanks to a straightforward design.
User-Friendly Smartphone Optimization
One of the standout features of Shoumaru is the mobile-friendly design, which caters to users accessing information from various locations. The layout is simple and intuitive, ensuring that people of all ages can easily navigate the site, thereby making the local shopping streets more engaging and accessible. This approach simplifies the process of presenting necessary information while effectively promoting the area’s attractions.
GlobeTails offers a standard plan known as the "Maru-Take Pack," which starts at 360,000 yen (excluding tax). This plan encompasses all aspects of website creation, including copywriting, photography (excluding individual store shoots), manuals, and training sessions on how to manage updates, significantly reducing potential user apprehensions.
Additionally, GlobeTails provides various optional services tailored to each shopping street's specific needs, such as maintenance and support, video filming, individual photo shoots for stores, creation of additional sub-pages, leaflets, illustrated maps, and detailed pages for each shop.
Conclusion
Through Shoumaru, GlobeTails aims to foster continuous flow of information within shopping streets to bridge connections with the local populace and attract visitors, ultimately helping in the promotion of the charm and vitality of these community spaces. By doing so, they are not just enhancing local commerce but contributing significantly to the revitalization of regional culture and identity.
