Finding the best bargains and deals has just got a whole lot easier, following a new partnership just announced between Yahoo! NZ and PriceMe.

The new comparison shopping service is launching in time for the Christmas rush and will help push retail sales – a boost sorely needed in these current economic times.

It enables Yahoo! NZ’s multi-million-strong audience to access information on the huge range of products and reviews listed on PriceMe, as well as being able to take advantage of exclusive deals and product offerings.

“Research shows 55% of online shoppers are influenced by comparison shopping sites, of which PriceMe is by far the best in NZ,” Yahoo! NZ General Manager Laura Maxwell-Hansen says. “By integrating PriceMe with reviews and relevant product placement on Yahoo! NZ, we will become one of the most exciting online shopping destinations in New Zealand.”

The co-branded Yahoo! PriceMe site goes live on 1st December and can be accessed directly at deals.yahoo.co.nz or via Yahoo! NZ.

PriceMe Director Chris Palmer says Kiwi retailers are delighted about the new partnership, as it will help them increase sales and their online profile.

“Yahoo! NZ, which is the country’s largest digital media company, receives more than six million unique visitors per month. This means retailers of the thousands of products featured on PriceMe will now have direct access to this very large and product-savvy audience. It’s a great win win for consumers and retailers”.

Maxwell-Hansen agrees – “Yahoo! NZ reaches one in two Kiwis online and 77% of our users have researched buying an item online in the past four weeks. Our new partnership with PriceMe makes perfect sense and we are committed to making this the ‘go-to site’ for deals and comparison shopping in New Zealand.”
