Please Present Jemi To Our Audience. What Services And Products Do You Offer?
Jemi is a no-code website and e-commerce store builder for creators and entrepreneurs.
What’s Your Story? What Sparked The Idea, And How Has It Evolved So Far?
Jason (my cofounder) and I started building Jemi back in Apr 2020 once we realized that we had a shared passion for helping creative individuals grow online. From my own experience on the Facebook creator monetization team and talking to creator friends, we realized there weren’t many flexible monetization tools for creator-fan communities.
So when we first started building Jemi, our initial focus was purely on commerce. We wanted to build the best platform for creators to make money online. Since then, we’ve expanded our product to not only allow our customers to grow their income online, but also grow their brand through our drag & drop website builder. Now, Jemi’s mission is to help small businesses grow their brand & income by providing them with the most intuitive & powerful website & online store builder.
What Are The Key Features That Make You Stand Out From The Competition?
When it comes to building a website, usability and the overall UX of the platform plays a huge role in the decision making process for our customers. That’s where Jemi differentiates itself from the other website & online store builders. Many of our existing customers have tried out other competitor products, but ultimately chose Jemi because they loved how easy & fast it was to set up their online store & website.
Who Are Your Typical Customers’ And What Are The Pain Points That You Help Them Solve?
Jemi’s typical customers are small business owners, entrepreneurs, marketers, and creators.
Building a website and online store for small business owners and creators can be intimidating, especially for those without any coding or design background.
