Overview Platform IOU
The global eCommerce market has demonstrated explosive growth in the past couple of years and its future is expected to be booming. In 2017, the global e-retail sales amounted to 2.3 trillion U.S. dollars and projections show a growth of up to 4.48 trillion U.S. dollars by 2021. This astonishing growth is primarily being driven by consumers using their mobile devices to acquire goods and services.
In this ultra-competitive environment, finding and acquiring new customers can be a huge challenge for merchants. In addition, 53% of adults living in high-income households claim to be willing to switch brands for the sake of using a coupon.
The challenges for players in this giant market are key, including customer loyalty, achieving profitable long-term growth, and choosing the right technology and partners, among others.
At the same time, the tremendous evolution of blockchain technology is radically changing the way many markets operate. Important USPs of blockchain like transparency, coherence, cost-effectiveness and effective integration with processes at all levels of the business can bring to the e-commerce market endless opportunities.
Now, imagine the explosive combination of e-commerce, blockchain technology, and cryptocurrencies: the IOU Platform, a true P2P e-commerce loyalty platform on the blockchain.
It aims at empowering blockchain Merchants and Consumers with decentralized and secure Peer-to-Peer technology driving customer satisfaction and loyalty through Merchant’s trade-able IOUs. IOU Platform can successfully address many of the challenges of the e-commerce segment.

IOU is Offering Merchants and Consumers clear advantages over the traditional e-commerce environment making transactions Cost-Effective and Secure while building ultimate trust between Merchants and Consumers. Rating mechanism would boost a trust even further.
Cost-effectiveness of transactions and global reach of consumers beat the conventional digital payment methods as it removes the middlemen/payment processors that take a big cut.

Loyalty factor is another huge benefit allowing both consumers and merchants to get rewarded for generating top rated, quality offers and transactions on IOU Exchange.
