GotYour has announced the launch of GotYourPriceCheck, which it says is the UKs first ever local SMS price comparison service. The company says the service, which launches in mid-December, will offers shoppers the quickest, easiest way to find real time bargains in any given location, and electrical retailers the opportunity to get their best prices directly into the hands of potential customers, via their mobile phone, to drive sales and boost their profits.
The service is free for retailers to sign up to, and provides both small independent retailers and larger electrical retail chains with a way of monitoring their local market, reaching new audiences and ensuring their prices remain as competitive as possible.
To use the service, shoppers text the word PRICE, plus the make and model of the item they want, along with a location, to 60706. Within 60 seconds, they will receive an SMS response, containing two local stores with the cheapest retail prices, plus the best web price. Shoppers pay 35p plus standard network charges for successful search results.
More than ever, in the current economic climate, shoppers are looking for bargains and retailers are looking for fresh ways to promote their best prices and get customers in store, says GotYourPriceCheck Founder, Harmeet Baxi. Retailers who sign up to GotYourPriceCheck will immediately begin to reap the benefits, and with many of their closest competitors coming on board, they cant afford to miss out.
The service will initially launch within the M25, with a nationwide roll out planned for early 2009. Retailers who want more information about signing up to GotYourPriceCheck should email: [email protected]
