NEW YORK - Sept. 11, 2019 - A new online platform is innovating wholesale's archaic process while reflecting the familiarity of e-commerce. The Main Tab's mission is to support 'Main St' boutiques, connect brands and boutiques on one main 'tab', and make the process easy and elevated.
"Most wholesale websites are stale and blank or completely cluttered," said Liseda Shelegu, founder of themaintab.com. "The Main Tab is sleek, includes a highly curated assortment of premium brands, and eliminates antiquated buying processes like order forms, unsolicited calls, and missed emails."
Shelegu has over a decade of experience working with luxury lifestyle brands and boutiques and industry needs inspired her to create themaintab.com. "When I started, I spoke with hundreds of retailers and I listened to their concerns," said Shelegu. "I never went into this to 'disrupt' anything. I genuinely just wanted to help these boutiques and brands." For the young entrepreneur, themaintab.com is a place to help build brands and not just sell merchandise. "We really pride ourselves in offering premium technology with a human touch; we have real people always available to help," said Shelegu.
