SHAKING UP THE ONLINE SHOPPING SCENE Purchase it today, get it tomorrow – that is new online retailer SOSOON’s revolutionary promise to every shopper who buys an item, big or small, from its e-store. “We want to rock the online retail game here in Singapore and change the infrastructure and customer mindset by committing to delivery in 24 hours for all our customers,” says Robert Van Lith, the General Manager of Uitox, which is the company behind SOSOON. SOSOON’s premise is simple. Although we have the convenience of shopping from the comfort of our couches, the gratification of holding our purchases in our hands is delayed by a few days to a few weeks, depending on the retailer’s shipping promise. “This does not fit my definition of convenient online shopping! SOSOON will enhance the online experience to exceed even physically shopping in store,” is Van Lith’s bold claim. Uitox has the credentials to back up its words. Its parent company, which is based in Taiwan, is the first e-commerce operation with a fivehour delivery guarantee in Taipei City and a 24-hour guarantee for the rest of Taiwan. Colour us impressive! Discover the revolutionary shopping experience at SOSOON.com.sg. If you receive your purchase later than 24 hours, SOSOON will give you a S$10 credit! 4 Family & Life • Apr 2014 PUTTING THE FUN IN FUNCTIONAL!
