Fab.com Goes Mobile on iPhone, iPad and Android

On June 9, 2011 Fab.com opened our doors.

Today, 122 days later:  

  • We’re selling more than $100,000 worth of design products per day.
  • We’re seeing 3M+ monthly visits to our website.
  • We’ve seen our membership swell to more than 750,000 people, half of whom have come through member-to-member viral share links.
  • We’ve established Fab.com as the #1 place to discover daily design inspirations.
  • We’re doing our best to keep up with the growth and deliver a world-class customer experience that our users LOVE.
  • We’re launching on iPhone, iPad, and Android.

Here are some of the benefits from using Fab.com’s Mobile Apps:

- Daily design inspirations & sales

- Never miss a sale while you’re on the go

- Check upcoming sales

- View and zoom in on images

- Share your favorite designs on Facebook, Twitter, email, and SMS — and earn credits!

Even before we launched our mobile apps, we were already seeing 18% of traffic and 12% of revenue from mobile users.  It will be interesting to see what the launch of the Fab Apps does to those numbers.
