MaryPortas.com Launch

28h May 2010

Maryportas.com – a new people-powered retail resource for shoppers and shopkeepers.

 Launches Friday 28th May 2010.

After many years spearheading change on the British high street, retail guru Mary Portas is pleased to announce the launch of a new consumer-driven website, maryportas.com. 

The new site, Mary’s first permanent home on the web, is a comprehensive resource for both shoppers and shopkeepers keen to improve, comment or learn about the retail experience. 

Through the site’s lead feature “Search for a Shop”, users can upload, rate and review shops from around the world – creating a comprehensive database of consumer insight into our high streets.  This searchable directory lets users read real reviews from like-minded shoppers, and allows disgruntled customers, or customers blown away by excellent service to make their voice heard.  Raw, unedited and without bias, maryportas.com will become a barometer for consumer sentiment, providing brands with valuable feedback on what’s working, and what isn’t.

As a community-driven website, maryportas.com will also create a destination for conversations on shopping, fashion and life.  Online polls and other features will be developed to gather further insights and research from the community.

The site will also host the work and home of Mary’s strategic retail communication agency, Yellowdoor, confirming the agency’s position as the UK’s leading shopper marketing agency.

In addition, users will be able to follow Mary’s latest projects, television campaigns, journalism, and news Mary’s Living and Giving shops for Save the Children, as well as live agency news.

Site features:

This represents the first phase of maryportas.com – over the coming months the site will evolve in line with the demands of the community.
