Open publisher Lulu.com partners with Vancouver's Elastic Path
Lulu.com has partnered with ecommerce platform provider Elastic Path, a Vancouver-based company that provides a flexible enterprise ecommerce platform and strategic ecommerce consulting.
On Lulu, sellers can expect new capabilities, such as merchandising and custom sales campaigns. And buyers will benefit from faster checkouts and more frequent promotions.
"Elastic Path provides solutions and strategies specifically for digital goods and services companies that want to offer a frictionless buying experience for their customers," says Matt Dion, Vice President of Marketing for Elastic Path. "Lulu has made the publishing and buying experience quick and easy for the buyers and sellers in their marketplace. They are a great example of an innovative company embracing the social nature of the web and applying it to the publishing industry."
