Sorry, Not Pinterest-ed

I spy with my little eye… something colorful, something new. All girls love it, and the level of its popularity is dramatically increasing as more and more as people sign up to use it. And it’s better than Pinterest.

Wanelo is a new website that has been created to tailor to the needs of clothing prices, store locators and ideas for the newest trends in quirky places to get interesting finds. Created as a blend from the words “want, need, love”, this website is sweeping computer screens worldwide. Most people usually jump to the question of “But isn’t that what Pinterest is for?” when hearing about this new site, but I am happy to announce that Wanelo is the new Pinterest.

Comparisons of the two are inevitable but Wanelo goes to the next level.

“The comparisions to Pinterest are practically unavoidable. Members find and save products to personal collections, but Wanelo moves beyond the aspirational and encourages members to swap affordable treasures for their shopping wish-lists,” said Jennifer Van Grove a writer for a local blog on venturebeat.com. 

Wanelo can easily be conveyed as just a “Pinterest wannabe,” yet it is far more than that. With better graphics and quality of the products, Wanelo is easily accessible and more simplified than the layout of Pinterest. Along with the vibrant web page, Wanelo is now available as an app on iPhone and Android phones.

Also, on an economic level, the advances in Wanelo compared to those of Pinterest are skyrocketing. In a recent review about the new app for Wanelo, topics were brought up through a marketing standpoint.

“Note that it’s easier to to buy from retailers than others in this situation. For instance, other online shopping websites like Pinterest automatically dictate if you can or can not purchase the item. Well, not with Wanelo,” said Marie Look of Lifestyle.com.

After learning more about Wanelo, I soon discovered that it has captured the hearts of teens at Westminster, as well. “I love Wanelo! It’s such a great place to actually find cute things to buy, unlike on Pinterest when all you can really do is window shop,” said Kari Ford, senior.

This website is unlike any before. The level of dedication to pleasing its’ customers is incredibly thurough and detailed. I love the fact that it’s a breeze to type in a specific type of item and get hundereds of results that match your question to a T.

I have high hopes for Wanelo, and that it will soon over take Pinterest from a popularity standpoint. Pinterest has let me down in its ability to evolve into something I can use.

Why windowshop when you can actually shop?
