The new team are located centrally within the UK and enable Swan to become a one-stop shop for omni-channel retail solutions. Standout provide services across brand, graphics, digital and marketing strategy, with eCommerce a central part of their overall digital offering.
Standout’s services complement the existing range of retail management and EPoS solutions that Swan provide. David Thompson, Swan Retail Managing Director, commented: “We were very keen to add a provider of services that went beyond a traditional tech or eCommerce only organisation. Whilst increasingly important to all retailers, eCommerce is only a success when the site performs well, clearly communicates the retailer’s brand and is supported by a host of digital marketing services including search, social, email and offline advertising. Standout provide all of these services and were a natural fit for us on many other levels.”
The acquisition of Standout allows Swan Retail to provide their clients with a competitive advantage and an entirely joined up approach to retailing both online and instore – a true omni-channel retail provider.
