A platform tailored for ecommerce businesses
The pandemic prompted many small and medium-sized businesses to pivot towards ecommerce strategies. On the consumer side, online shopping increased by more than 46%. Meanwhile, ecommerce spending in 2021 is set to reach more than $933 billion.
In response, Brevo has selected three of the best Shopify apps to expand its offering and help small and medium-sized businesses compete digitally on a larger scale.
“Acquiring Metrilo, Chatra and PushOwl are part of Brevo’s longer term vision to expand our marketing capabilities and dive into the growing ecommerce space. Now, our all-in-one digital marketing solution will become even more powerful, enabling these businesses to expedite sales and drive strategic business decisions.”

PushOwl was founded in 2016 by Shashank Kumar. Based in India, PushOwl allows ecommerce stores to enable web push notifications as a marketing channel, turning visitors into subscribers, and driving more revenue.
