Woman Within launches CatView on iPhone App to improve digital shopping experience

July 25, 2012 - PRLog -- New York, NY – Woman Within®, a plus size women’s fashion brand in the portfolio of Redcats USA’s OneStopPlus Group, has launched CatView, an innovative new feature on its Woman Within® iPhone App that offers a unique way to incorporate the digital shopping experience with traditional paper catalogs via Mobile.

To get started, mobile users can simply download the latest iPhone application for Woman Within® (which is free!) and launch the CatView feature, which will utilize the device’s camera like a scanner.  With the CatView feature running, the user can ‘scan’ fashion items in the Woman Within® Catalog, and in real time, it will display additional information such as product ratings, promotional alerts, product details, etc. on the iPhone screen.  In short, it creates an improved online experience, making shopping via a mobile device more fun and interactive.  The CatView feature was developed for Woman Within® by Moodstocks, a technology vendor that specializes in bridging the digital and physical worlds.  

“Shopping via mobile devices should not only be easy, but allow the Woman Within® customer an opportunity to virtually ‘touch and feel’ the merchandise by bringing fashion products to life,” said Andy Yang, Director of Online Strategy for the OneStopPlus Group.  “The CatView feature supports our efforts to continually enhance the customer’s mobile shopping experience through state-of-the art technology.”  

Woman Within® (http://www.womanwithin.com/) offers international shipping to 90 countries.  Fashionistas can shop on the go via Woman Within®’s mobile site (m.womanwithin.com) and find that perfect outfit!
