Now, bTrendie is a community as well, featuring slices of user-generated content and featured bTrendie experts that are also users just like yourself. This is a useful aspect for sites such as bTrendie as it enables users to become more involved in the products that are being sold through the members-only site, maintains the level of exclusivity, and offers a level of recommendations to oter users that would like to learn more about particular products. Even more specific to a site like bTrendie, where products often require extra consideration before purchasing, having reviews and commentary from other mothers could be a very important aspect of the purchasing process.
So as an extremely niche site, is bTrendie providing value to the consumer market? Well the target demographic is certainly large enough to support bTrendie’s exclusive retail site.
