Creating a social online presence

GOCityGirl is at the vanguard of the new online shopping concept that draws inspiration from the social dimension of how women shop. EPiSever was the ideal platform, allowing GoCityGirls partner R1 Group to integrate social networking and commerce to bring GOCityGirl's vision of a vibrant, all-female social network and customizable e-tail experience to life.

Using the power of social commerce

EPiServer's social capabilities have enabled GOCityGirl to take advantage of the power of social commerce with a series of widgets. These enable shoppers to create and manage their own web portal by customizing content such as job listings, celebrity gossip and shopping to create a unique online experience.

To ensure the site remains up to date, behavioural tracking through the LiveMonitor module provides a real-time view of traffic on the site, enabling the GOCityGirl team to adapt content and personalize information almost instantaneously, for a dynamic user experience.

Full control over every aspect of the site

James Burbridge, Founder of R1 Group, said: "EPiServer gave us the ideal foundation to build the GOCityGirl site. Not only have we been able to integrate a wide range of bespoke features allowing visitors to customise their visit, the platform gives the GOCityGirl team full control over every aspect of the site, to quickly and easily update content on a regular basis. By making full use of the personalization and community tools, we have also ensured GOCityGirl can keep the site fresh and engaging for visitors."
