Company Summary
Change perception to change reality.
The general perception and the reality is that shipping souvenirs and gifts (or any sort of individual international shipping) is difficult and expensive. We're changing that perception because we're developing a new reality, it's not that difficult or expensive to ship globally.
Souvenir is an application, that will help Uberize and revolutionize the international shipping industry for travelers buying gifts, arts and souvenirs globally.
At Souvenir, we came up with a solution that will make shipping internationally more affordable and mainstream. With couple of taps using our app, customers will be able to ship anything they purchase while abroad for a flat rate before even leaving the store. All of this with a main focus on design and arts.
Souvenir offers three packages and box sizes from within each retailer: Small, Medium and Large for $50, $75 and $200, accordingly. Our solution also offers custom sizes for custom prices using our in-app instant calculator.
The big picture/Future plans: is to become the leading, most intuitive, go-to platform for international shipping of any kind. Souvenir will become an e-commerce platform and the design-driven go to shopping destination for all branded souvenirs and gifts around the world.
