Why ThumbStopper – Why do we exist?

We’re Bridging The Gap Between Brands and Their Retailers. ThumbStopper connects brands and retailers by directing brand content into retailers’ social media feeds so both parties can benefit from greater brand awareness and convert followers into customers. Online platforms like Facebook and Instagram are becoming hotbeds for brand discovery and business transactions. Most retailers are too busy managing their own business to have time to manage their social media presence. Through ThumbStopper, deploying consistent content becomes hands-free for retailers instead of active responsibility. Retailers do not have to worry about having a social media specialist or middle-man handling brand content and can focus on their business priorities.
