On this episode of Talking Shop I am joined by Zipline CEO and co-founder Melissa Wong. We discuss how Melissa’s 10 years’ of frontline experience informed her approach to building a SaaS company, the recurring operational frustrations that most head offices still underestimate, and why she believes technology should be designed with the store associate as the primary user. We also explore current trends in store execution and how retailers can bridge the gap between corporate strategy and the shop floor.

UK rental platform Hirestreet has launched its first ever shoe rental offering as part of a new partnership with footwear retailer Schuh.

It comes as Hirestreet said it is experiencing a record Summer for occasion wear rental, leading to a 300% increase in site traffic vs Summer 2022.

In July alone, it received over 250 requests for a shoe offering to compliment outfits. In response to this customer demand to be able to rent a full ‘look’, Hirestreet said it now has seven “core” styles of shoe available to hire.

The edit includes a range of styles to suit any occasion from high heels to wedges.

Isabella West, CEO of Hirestreet, said “At Hirestreet, we are always looking for ways to expand our offering to meet our customers’ needs. As our audience becomes more comfortable with rental, they are looking at how they utilise its power beyond just their dress or core item and create a complete rental look.

“We are thrilled to be partnering with schuh on our first shoe collection; giving our renters the opportunity to access complimentary footwear to their outfit at amazing value.”
