App Letsell, developed by Gerencianet, makes it possible to sell products by Instagram in the United States
OURO PRETO, Brazil, May 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Buying and selling on the internet has now gotten easier. As of today, Letsell is now available for free download on Google Play and App Store. The application was developed to make it possible to buy and sell using Instagram. With an initial investment of R$ 160,000, it has been released in the United States and seven other countries, including the United Kingdom, Australia and Germany, and is available in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
Created in October of 2010, Instagram became one of the most popular social networks, reaching more than 300 million users by the end of 2014, with nearly 40 million in the United States alone. In considering the vast reach of the internet and the potential of e-commerce, Gerencianet, a Brazilian company, saw the opportunity to create a way to make it possible using this tool to do business directly. The expectation is that sales via the internet will grow by more than 11% in the U.S. in 2015, according to eMarketer data.
According to company CEO, Evanil de Paula, the app was created for ordinary people to advertise things they want to sell, whether new or used, but it can also be implemented by companies that want to sell via e-commerce or increase product exposure on the internet.
The app allows all transactions to be done via cell phone, and has tools to help expedite the process, such as online chat, which serves as a direct channel for negotiations between sellers and buyers, and the field for inputting the address to calculate shipping costs. The user can track all purchases, sales as well as records of negotiations in the app, and also alter registration data.
Another feature is integration with PayPal, which is already operating in several countries, thereby facilitating the payment process, and also allowing for negotiation among people in different countries. The fee is only charged to the vendor when a sale is put through. The buyer pays nothing besides the amount of the purchase.
"This app brings an innovative and different approach. We are trying to offer in one single application the entire e-commerce process, from inclusion of the item by the seller through to payment by the buyer in a simple and safe manner," Evanil explains.
