Title: [2014-10-12] CD: Showroomprive is Embracing Bitcoin Post by: LiteCoinGuy on October 12, 2014, 02:31:09 PM Showroomprive Turns Skepticism Into Innovation in Embracing Bitcoin
Showroomprive is a Paris-based online shopping website for clothes, cosmetics and household items that offers discounts of 30–70% off of leading brand-name products. Its more than $500m in annual revenue make it one of the leading e-commerce companies in Europe, with 2013 figures placing it just behind LVMH Moët Hennessy, and the second largest private sales website behind Vente-privee. These figures could increase, the company hopes, now that it has integrated bitcoin into its payment options. In an interview with CoinDesk, cofounder and chief executive Thierry Petit said: “I plan that probably between 5 and 10% of my payments in the next three or four years in Europe will be through the bitcoin system. If there is some additional technology and if some of the big players accept bitcoin then it will accelerate and change the game.” http://www.coindesk.com/showroomprive-turns-skepticism-innovation-embracing-bitcoin/ Title: Re: [2014-10-12] CD: Showroomprive is Embracing Bitcoin Post by: freedomno1 on October 13, 2014, 06:56:18 AM This seems like it will be very good news for female adoption
Nothing like getting clothing and shoes for bitcoin the high end fashion market and what not may seem like a small thing but its pretty big in some demographics where it counts.

Will we see something new from them? Time will tell. We needa merchant that would offer lower prices for bitcoin users, to increase demand. |
