Because "Information is not knowledge. The only source of knowledge is experience" (Albert Einstein) "
Our Mission
Boxx is on a mission to build a global catalogue of consumer made "Product Video Reviews" of every popular product in the world. Sharing Product Knowledge to reduce the massive and growing scale of unwanted products being returned and the associated carbon footprint.
Make a Difference
You can make a difference by uploading "Product Video Reviews " for each of the products you own.
It's a critical and proactive difference that everyone can make to reduce the rate of unwanted product returns.
Boxx works with Responsible Retailers who want to make sure that their Customers returns are as close to Zero as possible.
Sharing your knowledge helps other Shoppers buy what is right for them and avoid buying what is not. Your product video review bridges the information gap between a product's description and the customer's expectations.
Environmental Impact:
Excessive Carbon Emissions:
Returning items requires additional, often inefficient, transportation ("reverse logistics"),
Economic Impracticality of reselling a returned product :
The cost of processing a return (as much as 55–75% of the item's price) can make it cheaper for companies to discard items than restock them.This means the Products are often disposed of in Landfills.
The Impact of Landfills
Greenhouse Gases: Decomposing textiles and organic materials in landfills release methane.
Pollution: Toxins and leachate from dumped products contaminate land, ground, and water.
Resource Depletion: High energy and water consumption (e.g., 2,700 liters for one cotton shirt) are wasted when items are immediately discarded.
The Boxx Culture
To succeed in changing the habits of people which have led to this massive global emergency, we need people to adopt the Boxxshopping.com "Culture". This means new behavior, a new mindset for what it means to Shop.
Sharing your knowledge in a Product Video Review has to feel natural, authentic and self-sustaining. So that every time you buy something new. You eagerly look forward to the time when your "knowledge" of the product is ready for sharing with other Shoppers who are contemplating buying that same product. Boxx wants to make sure that, if they buy it, they won't want to return it.
It doesn't matter if multiple people make a Product Video Review of the same product. Shoppers instinctively find the review videos that they connect with. Boxx provides them with choice.
So make as many Product Video Reviews as you can and be a "Builder" of our shared defences against global waste from retail. So the next time the topic of Landfills and unwanted Product returns comes up, you will know that you are an active part of a mission to make a positive difference.
Our show of Thanks:
Every person who makes a Product Video Review on Boxxshopping.com will continually gain income as a share of money that we generate from people using Boxx to shop. This means that over time, people can receive multiples of the purchase price of each product they make a video review about.
As an example,
"Sarah Jones makes a Product Video Review of her Nike Air Max that a responsible retailer on Boxx will fulfil orders for @£120 a pair. Boxx will pay Sarah £6 in credit for sharing her Product Knowledge. Let's say that over a period of time Boxx sells 40 pairs of Nike Air Max from Sarah's Product Video Review. Sarah will receive £240 in credits to buy anything she wants on Boxxshopping.com and will continue to receive £6 in additional credit for every sale generated from her Product Video Review for the lifetime of the video on Boxxshopping.com.
The financial Rewards explained :
We continually pay 5% of the transaction price from every Sale made from a product video review to the person who made the video review (as credit to Shop with us).
For transparency each video has a buy button integrated within the video player and counters to show our community the number of views, sales, returns and by who each was made.
Alternatively, When no purchases actually take place, Boxx will pay an amount of money per view for each product review video that is watched by more than "X" number of unique Shoppers as credit to Shop with us. The more people who shop with us, the more money we have to share with our community. We publish the amount paid per view on a periodical basis.
Boxx pays for either Sales or Views generated from a particular Product Video Review. Whichever of the two will pay the most money to the person helping us in our mission.
Product Video Reviews are generally either Positive, which may equate to many Sales or Negative, (raising concerns to encourage people NOT to buy if they share those concerns) which may equate to many Views.
Brands have the opportunity to engage and address negative product video reviews in order to remedy the problem and get their Products back on track to being something people want.
The objective of each Video :
Boxx Product Video reviews are to help Shoppers know "exactly what it is like to actually own a particular Product before they buy it". And provide an opportunity for Shoppers to directly ask people who already own the product a question. It's all about drawing on the "experience" of an existing product owner.
Socially, Boxx is also a place to read comments and engage in conversation around a particular product. Each element of Boxx works to make sure that there are No unwanted surprises when a product is delivered .
Humans doing Telephone Customer service the way it should be done:
Also something very important to us at Boxxshopping.com. For each and every product we sell, we provide Human customer service by telephone, for up to 30 days after the purchase of a Product. So that Shoppers are always able to gain the help and reassurance they need, when they need it.
Circular Economy :
Every product we sell on Boxx can be resold on Boxxshopping.com for FREE, as a used item originally sold on Boxxshopping.com with ownership history.
So get started and make some Boxx Product Video Reviews today.
How to Get started on our Mission:
Start by making Product Video Reviews of the Products that you already own which you think are still offered new for Sale in any store or anywhere online.
Every time you buy something new purposefully have in mind the making of a "Product Video Review" in the near future, when you have attained good product knowledge.
When a Shopper watches your product video review and decides to ask you a question. It will appear in your Inbox. We would really appreciate it if you can answer any questions and engage in the Boxxshopping.com community.
We purposefully prioritise the Product Video Reviews of those who answer. Prioritisation increases the number of views you will receive, which means that you make a greater impact for our mission. Whilst also making it more likely that a Shopper will have the opportunity to engage directly with an existing Product owner, if they want to. This gives Shoppers more reason to use Boxxshopping.com and gives the Boxx Mission a greater chance of success.
