E-commerce jewelry brand develops new platform that will revolutionize direct sales

NEW YORK, Nov. 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Chloe + Isabel, the innovative e-commerce jewelry brand, today announced the launch of a new online platform for its network of merchandisers. With the launch of the new platform, Chloe + Isabel integrates social media and direct selling – taking the traditional Avon-model for direct sales into the digital age, and demonstrating its leadership in the social commerce space.

The innovative new platform is designed to improve user experience and sales opportunities for Chloe + Isabel's network of merchandisers. Through its merchandiser opportunity, Chloe + Isabel gives its merchandisers an opportunity to earn income through a new model of direct sales that focuses on social networks and online influence.

In developing its network of merchandisers, Chloe + Isabel empowers a new generation of female entrepreneurs, providing valuable training on fashion merchandising, social media marketing, and building and running a business.

Features of the merchandiser platform include:

  • Highly personalized online boutique:  Each merchandiser has her own virtual storefront with a unique URL where she can create custom collections of Chloe + Isabel jewelry.
  • Instragram integration: Merchandisers can market and editorialize their curated jewelry collections by pulling in imagery from their personal Instagram accounts.
