Alice.com recently launched its service that allows consumers to purchase household items online. But this isn’t your everyday online retailer. Alice.com has many reasons why its different and could be a huge hit.
First of all, there are no shipping fees. In most cases, if you want to order something like napkins online, a lot of the money you pay would go towards shipping. That isn’t the case at Alice.com.
Next, Alice.com offers very competitive prices. They do it by cutting out the middle man and letting manufacturers market and sell directly to the consumers.
“By eliminating the traditional retail layer,” said Brian Wiegand, Alice.com’s CEO and co-founder, “we allowed the companies that produce these goods to connect directly with the people who use them. The result is a neutral platform for (consumer packaged goods) manufacturers to work together as an industry and channel their resources in exciting new ways for the consumer.”
Third of all, Alice.com has a feature that remembers orders and offers warnings when household items may be running low.
Finally, this service makes it much easier to use coupons. You don’t have to take coupons to the store with you. Instead, coupons can redeemed easily using their online interface.
If you don’t like going to the store to purchase your household items, Alice.com gives you an interesting alternative.
