Ekoma

The LLC was approved in February 2019 as well as the listing on the Shopify marketplace. Big milestone for Ekoma: The Shopify marketplace is a big opportunity for visibility and customer feedback!

Once launched, Ekoma got featured in the "New and Note Worthy" section of the Shopify Marketplace...

For about 5 months, I worked on Ekoma on the side of my full-time job. I developed what became the foundation of the loyalty program. Via a friend of a friend, I met my first client: https://shayandblue.us.com

We discussed for a while and explained to him my values and vision for the product. He loved it and decided to install Ekoma on his store as a beta tester.

After working for 2 years as software engineer, working for a terribly managed company, I lost my energy and passion for what I was doing. After a life-changing experience, I decided to take control of my own future and started working on Ekoma.

Marketing strategies used by retailers are very much disconnected from their customer communities. Email marketing campaigns, social media posts and other technics are over-used and are now seen as constant harassment for most of the potential customers. The lack of wholesome message disrupts the trust that could be destructive especially for small and medium businesses.

Loyalty and referral programs are a solution to this problem.

If you add an affordable price (even for small businesses), engaging and beautiful features, a high degree of customization and without the need for engineering skills, you get Ekoma.
