Francesca’s Holdings Corporation (Nasdaq: FRAN) and Poq today
announced its partnership to develop francesca’s® first mobile
application.
As part of the Company’s effort to meet the customer wherever,
whenever and however she chooses to shop, francesca’s® plans to
launch a new iOS app this summer and a new Android app later this
year, in time for Black Friday and the holiday season. Recognizing
that mobile is increasingly becoming her preferred way to shop,
this application will be designed to enhance the customer
experience when she engages with francesca’s® on her smart phone.
The new digital format will provide an elevated design, improved
navigation and increased ease of use.
Andrew Clarke, CEO at Francesca’s Holdings Corp, stated, “During
the temporary store closure period resulting from the COVID-19
pandemic, our ecommerce business surged. Given the accelerating
shift to online shopping, we are excited to be stepping up our
digital transformation strategy with the launch of this mobile
app. In addition to enhancing her online shopping experience,
the app will provide valuable insights into how customers interact
with our brand, enabling us to interact with her in a more relevant
and impactful way. After careful consideration, we chose Poq for
this project based on their extensive expertise in building mobile
shopping apps that empower businesses like ours to engage customers
and facilitate financial success.”
