Gemr Unveils New User Interface and Personalization Features for Inventive Collecting Platform


Newly-launched website Gemr (www.gemr.com), a pioneering online social community and marketplace for collectors, today unveils a new user interface with added features to create a more intuitive experience. Enhancements to the site include personal item and collection dashboards, and improved user onboarding guidance to ensure a collecting journey tailored to the user's interests.

Gemr is the first social marketplace built for collectors, by collectors to buy, trade, and sell, or share and discover the things they love. Gemr is digitizing the collecting experience with a more personalized interface and a suite of mobile features that eliminates the hassle of navigating multiple sites to make collecting fun and easy for experts and newcomers alike. With the Gemr iOS and Android (News - Alert) mobile apps, adding items to a collection can be done with a snap, tag, and post.

"These upgrades and enhancements make this the perfect time for people who haven't tried Gemr to sign up for free and see what our social marketplace has to offer," said Gemr Founder and CEO, Terry Anderton. "We know that 40 percent of Americans collect something, and we've started to see the emerging global appeal of sharing these personal treasures in the amount of unique items already uploaded to the site."

Gemr's new interface and features, in addition to proprietary tools already in place at launch in January 2015, have bolstered the site's position as the first-of-its-kind social marketplace.

Features include:

  • Clubs: In Gemr clubs, fans and collectors can group together items on specially-designated pages to showcase collections, meet new people who share similar interests, and discuss te things that bring them together. Current clubs include sneakers, Star Wars, comic books, and antiques; users are encouraged to submit new club ideas based on their interests.
  • Personalization Interface: New user and item dashboards enhance the Gemr experience with an easy, coherent place to manage their collections, and infographics to track their collecting quest. Additional features, including individually-curated and "followable" content feeds will be introduced in Q2.
  • CrowdScore™: Gemr uses a proprietary CrowdScore™ technology to provide sellers and buyers with real-time market feedback and valuation on items they post.



The Gemr engineering team continues to innovate and deliver marketplace features every couple of weeks that will help grow the community and improve communication across the platform. People can sign up for free at www.gemr.com, download the mobile app in the Apple Store and on Google Play, and discover more engaging collector content on Gemr's social sites at Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, LinkedIn, and YouTube.
