SHOPLI, DIRECTORY & MARKETPLACE LAUNCHES NATIONWIDE TO HELP RETAILERS, HOSPITALITY & LEISURE BUSINESSES REACH THOUSANDS OF NEW CUSTOMERS.

National independent business directory & marketplace, Shopli, has launched across the UK offering a truly unique platform and app that will help thousands of independent retailers, hospitality, leisure & similar style businesses reach thousands of new potential customers in their local community and beyond.

There are over 250,000 independent retailers, hospitality, leisure & similar style businesses across the UK and along with many national brands, they play a vital role in keeping local high streets and centres thriving whilst helping attract shoppers and business to these communities.

Shopli’s ground-breaking solution allows shoppers to discover local businesses, shop and save nationally with thousands of independents, connect and chat to them directly, safe with the knowledge that every business adheres to Shopli’s code of conduct, guidelines, standards of practice and behaviour. The Shopli platform is completely free and utilises a cutting-edge website and app to connect consumers with independent businesses and communities across the UK.

It was launched by Bristol based entrepreneur and businessman Lee Nathan, who along with being the CEO of Shopli, is also a Regional Chairman for the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB). His wealth of experience working with and helping thousands of local independent businesses was the inspiration behind the innovative platform.

Lee commented on the launch, “At Shopli we connect consumers with independent businesses and communities both locally and nationally and offer a completely free solution that will help local businesses sell to a national audience and attract more shoppers from their communities to discover and connect with them.

As the regional chairman for the FSB, I am actively involved with many local business owners and know first-hand the struggles many have had over the last couple of years and we wanted to develop a platform that helps these retailers and services to compete on a national level.”

The Shopli app is available on both Android and iOS operating systems and already has thousands of verified retailers, services and products available and is completely free for both consumers and independent businesses.
