Owned it‘, the social referral platform that aims to increase revenues and conversions has secured £100,000 ($157,000+) in an investment from Finance Birmingham in the UK, and private investors.

The company hopes to use the money to develop and add new apps to Owned it’s existing suite of social and marketing apps.

One of the apps currently in development is the ‘Feedback app’ which is designed to capture the online shopping experience of customers. The information gathered can then be used to improve conversions and reduce the rate of cart abandonment.
