Hundreds of thousands of large and small businesses are established each year. How can a Startup grow and compete while the ocean is “turning red” with a fierce level?
The key to opening the door to success is partly in the mindset of “Open innovation”, cooperation and development. Quickly grasping new trends in the digital era, Coolmate has joined hands with Insider, creating impressive “jumps” in the fashion field.
Founded in 2019, Coolmate applies the power of technology to fashion to provide a basic men’s shopping solution with a more convenient, more economical model – customers can buy a full wardrobe. Guaranteed quality, great prices, prompt delivery, and unsurpassed care.

According to a survey of 1,000 men between the ages of 18-35, more than 50% of them are shopping for basic items online. Therefore, online shopping is expected to become a more suitable and time-saving solution, especially for young people.
Understanding the difficulty of developing a touch point for retailers and customers to better interact with each other, Coolmate teamed up with Insider, researching and coming up with the most appropriate solutions. Specifically, Coolmate cooperated with Insider to conquer customers, promote marketing through 2 main channels: website and email to contribute to improving customers’ shopping experience.
