Introducing Paige, Carissa and Shaefer – the driving force behind our mission to make shopping fun again!
Meet Carissa, @Brklynimpact
Can you introduce yourself and your shop?
Hi my name is Carissa and I have a shop on cargo called BrklynImpact. I sell reworked Pinterest inspired clothes from clothing that was donated to me by college students.
What made you want to join Cargo as one of the first sellers?
It is very hard to find a shopping app that mainly focuses on handmade clothing than anything else – and I love how the app is video focused which is so different from any other shopping app I’ve seen.
What are your 3 favorite features on Cargo?
The 0% fee for sales brought in by my shareable link, easy to ship orders & favorites tab!
Can you give any tips or tricks for sellers joining the platform?
Always have fun and try different filming methods. See which one brings in the most customers and stick with it!
Meet Shaefer, @HeyFriends
Can you introduce yourself and your shop?
Hi! My name is Shaefer Santos and I am the owner and creator of Hey Friends! Hey Friends is a clothing line that I started when I was 16 years old, and have been actively growing for the past 4 years. I primarily sell t-shirts and crewnecks that I screen print by hand. However, I have just launched my first original design that I had made from scratch, the Bonnie dress!
What made you want to join Cargo as one of the first sellers?
Because I love the video based content! From my experience, videos have been vital for my businesses growth and success… so a platform where it is all based around that- sign me up!
What are your 3 favorite features on Cargo?
I am the most excited about the 0% fees on sales brought in through my link, tracking my sales, and having all of my products and videos under my profile!
Can you give any tips or tricks for sellers joining the platform?
My number one tip is to post all of the content you can! You never know what is going to catch the wind the right way and blow up your shop! 🙂
Meet Paige, @REMYGIRLreworks
Can you introduce yourself and your shop?
I’m Paige Sechrist! I’m an upcycler/designer and content creator, and I run a small handmade business called remygirl reworks where I sell my creations.
What made you want to join Cargo as one of the first sellers?
Being a content creator, videos are how I advertise my business. I think people love seeing the behind the scenes, especially from small businesses. Cargo is absolutely the best way for me to sell my products because of the way their platform is video centered!
What are your 3 favorite features on Cargo?
The video based aspect of the app is definitely the reason I chose to sell on cargo, because customers have such a fun buying experience and you can show so much more in a video than a product photo.
I’m also so excited about the profile page because it’s just like social media, but for your products! It’s so nice to see your favorite stores/creators and all of their products in one spot.
The favorites tab is so helpful because you can keep all of your favorites in one spot & not forget about them if you want to buy later, or to keep tabs on your favorite sellers!
Can you give any tips or tricks for sellers joining the platform?
To anyone joining the platform, I would just say to try to document every part of your creative process to add to your videos! My customers love to see all the work that goes into my pieces, and cargo’s video platform is the best way to show that off!
