NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Sep 4, 2014) - Purch, a content and commerce company, today unveiled new digital storefronts that integrate curated commerce experiences and relevant shopping opportunities into its top Science properties, Live Science and Space.com.
An innovator at connecting content, community and commerce, Purch designed the stores to facilitate purchase decisions for science and space enthusiasts. The new stores feature products that reflect the sites' editorial focus -- ranging from wearable fitness trackers to telescopes. An integrated shopping experience allows visitors to move easily from the sites' award-winning editorial content to relevant purchases, all in one seamless experience.
"Today's consumers not only look for great content, but also native commerce opportunities that complement and enhance the editorial focus of the site," said Greg Mason, CEO at Purch. "The future of publishing will involve stronger incorporation of content and commerce to provide comprehensive experiences for audiences that build brand loyalty."
The stores feature enhanced search and streamlined checkout capabilities, as well as responsive design. Optimized for desktop, tablet and mobile use, the stores deliver an enhanced user experience across any device, from homepage to checkout.
Live Science, launched 10 years ago, is one of the largest science sites on the Internet, illuminating life and technology through the lens of science with daily news and analysis of discoveries and innovations, as well as reviews of health-tech products. Since 1999, Space.com has been the world's No. 1 source for skywatching advice and news of astronomy, space exploration, commercial spaceflight and related technologies.
Beyond Space.com and Live Science, Purch has become the foremost resource for technology and science information, helping 78 million shoppers worldwide make complex buying decisions easy each month.
