Industry news

Leading creative, design & digital agency Blowmedia have announced the launch of an innovative new e-commerce tool to support aesthetic businesses during the COVID-19 crisis. Introducing SkopBot, the first-ever automated sales bot designed specifically for aesthetic clinics with no existing e-commerce functions.

E-commerce has become a vital lifeline for businesses during COVID – enabling them to switch to online sales to keep revenue going. However, a full e-commerce website setup usually costs around £3-4K, which has previously been out of reach for many clinics. With this challenge in mind, leading digital design agency Blowmedia created SkopBot (standing for Skin Shop Bot) – a fast, cost-effective and creative solution for clinics struggling with cash flow.  To enquire about getting SkopBot for your clinic, please contact Tracey at Blowmedia.
