SUCCESS OF STARTUP BOXWISH.COM SPURS LAUNCH OF NEW SITE

Following the success of its first year in business new media start-up company Boxwish Ltd has today announced the re-launch of their flagship Boxwish.com site (http://www.boxwish.com). The movie-inspired social shopping site has thrived during the economic downturn attracting well over a million visitors since its original launch and is now offering its users an even more inspiring and engaging experience.

The site was originally launched in July 2008 offering a comprehensive online shop for movie inspired products and services along with hundreds of feature articles and blogs. These elements continue through to the new site but as part of a brand new user interface offering users a more immersive and engaging way to find and purchase movie inspired fashion, gadgets, merchandise and more, as well as participate in a burgeoning community of film lovers sharing their in-depth movie knowledge.

Tim Aikin, CEO and entrepreneur behind Boxwish says, “Movies are powerful, enduring sources of lifestyle inspiration. Boxwish.com was created to offer people a chance to explore their favourite movies in new, exciting and inspirational ways. Demand for the Boxwish.com concept of movie-inspired shopping soon became clear during our first few months in business. The new site is all about creating a more engaging user experience for our customers to sustain and grow that demand”.

Recent addition to the group of business angels invested in Boxwish, Lloyd Price, an 11 year veteran of the UK online shopping market, points out, “Boxwish.com has successfully tapped into three strong and growing markets: online shopping, social networking and movies, making it an exciting destination for movie fans and shoppers alike. It’s a new spin on ecommerce at a time when consumers are looking for a more engaging online shopping experience.”
