About Sprightly:
Sprightly, a part of Microsoft’s Garage initiative aims at democratizing design, but is especially targeting smaller retailers who engage with customers on social media. That’s why its templates include those sellers in particular would need – like price lists, catalog pages, coupons, and tools to create product collages, among other things. Business owners and their staff can organize and share product images quickly with their customers. They can take photos, import images, choose from multiple template options, share on WhatsApp and Facebook, and send PDFs to customers. Users only have to import the images once into their collections. Once imported, images are easy to access and reuse.
Sprightly now has new templates with a greater variety of colors and styles to help to meet the needs of more users. Sprightly embraces mobile-only thinking, especially for independent businesses. The team that created Sprightly responded to the needs of business owners who wanted to create content on the fly and share a secure collaboration space for their teams.
A Microsoft Garage initiative
If there is one common thread in all the apps (apart from the super cool features and the potential they offer) – it is Microsoft Garage. This unique incubator was set up to help Microsoft employees launch experimental, consumer-focused apps faster and gain customer feedback on them. These apps, developed and released under the Garage brand, reiterate Microsoft’s continued commitment to innovation. Now that you know more about these apps, it’s time you downloaded them!
