Shop is now EVERY*

EVERY CEO, John Wantz, took the SXSW stage by storm and announced some pretty big moves that EVER* has made lately and we’re excited to share the news with you as well.

We have recently acquired three (yes, three) companies that move us toward our goal of a decentralized retail landscape. These recent acquisitions include omnicommerce platform, Comrse, as well as the social retail app, Kanga (both of which were obtained using our native cryptocurrency, the EVERY token), and e-commerce platform FoxCommerce. We believe that the future of decentralized retail lies in the power of crypto and these acquisitions mean that we’re not alone.

John explains that, “relaunching Kanga & FoxCommerce atop the EVERY protocol will help reestablish a retail ecosystem where brands and shoppers have the power to dictate how value will be exchanged amongst themselves based on shopper-controlled access to their data and appropriate rewards given by brands in return.”

Kanga and FoxCommerce will be the first of many retail apps that will run on top of the EVERY protocol. Shoppers using the Kanga and FoxCommerce platforms will instantly gain access to receiving the EVERY tokens in return for sharing personal shopping data. Instead of third-party marketplaces harvesting and monetizing data undetected, EVERY gives users the ability to choose what information they share, how they share it, and who they share it with. Users collect EVERY tokens in return for sharing information such as consumer preferences, style profile, and purchase history. This way, tokens, in the form of discounts, dollar amounts off, or other incentives can be redeemed.

Kanga is a millennial-targeted brand direct online retail apparel startup featuring social integrations. FoxCommerce is an API-first retail platform, providing scalable, flexible customization tools to market products. We are incredibly honored to bring shoppers a genuine free market democratized shopping experience through these two companies, neither of which take any fees from Brands, ever.

In order to collect EVERY tokens, you’ll need a wallet. But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. In addition to announcing these exciting acquisitions, John also announced the launch of the EVERY Wallet which will store tokens and information necessary to conduct transactions on the Kanga platform (with more to come).

Our blockchain-based platform puts shoppers in charge of their data and gives companies broader margins and greater access to permissioned customer shopping data. EVERY removes the need for third-party marketplaces that generally charge astronomical fees, cut into margin, and hoard customer data. By no longer relying on third-party marketplaces, EVERY gives brands the power to reconnect with their shoppers and encourages innovation.

We’re honored as a company to have been handpicked by SXSW to present at Release It. The recent acquisitions of Comrse, Kanga, and FoxCommerce will only move us forward in our mission to encourage a laissez-faire democratized retail industry.
