ShopLocket Launches Solution for Single-Item Merchants

Really good idea to sell one off tshirts, stickers on the even registration pages etc.

Interesting solution to an age-old problem. I wonder if this type of simple solution has come about from a reduction in technology costs, the understanding that not everyone is shooting to be a big-box store or both.

Katherine here (ShopLocket founder). I'm not sure if its the reduction in technology costs, something like ShopLocket has been possible for years. But what I do think has changed is that its no longer a leap for the average person to consider selling online. They have the social networks and distribution channels to do it on their own.

Not to mention, with solutions like Shopify and services like Pinterest rising in popularity, expectations for what product should look like online have risen. eBay and Craigslist just won't cut it anymore.

Hey, Katherine, congrats and best of luck to you. Once I get me hands on that beta invite I'll have a better view of the product, but I think ShopLocket and similar will do great things for the little people.

Hey Katherine, we met at the SproutUp office. Just wanted to say impressive build and best of luck!
