Virtual Shopping Mall Aims to getU Shopping & getU Deals

July 11, 2012 - PRLog -- Virtual Shopping Mall Aims to getU Shopping

GetUShopping is a virtual shopping mall, designed to save consumers time, money and fuel through a free membership scheme, delivering targeted deals. With a million products and well known brands including John Lewis, PC World and Homebase on board, the GetUShopping experience gives more choice, discounts and “offers” in one easy to use site.

Replicating the real shopping mall experience, users can visit the GetUShopping mall from the comfort of their armchair, eliminating costly travel to traditional shopping centres and alleviating the frustrations of parking, long queues at the till, shopping fatigue and sore feet. The GetUShopping mall offers a wide choice of goods through over 960 stores covering 32 different categories.

The GetUShoppping site allows you to navigate from store to store and browse at your leisure, looking into store frontages to see what’s new and what is on offer. Free membership entitles users to deals and offers that may not be available on the high street but unlike some voucher sites, deals and offers can be specifically targeted for specific areas of interest, when preferences are set.

‘Targeting members with irrelevant offers; it’s a waste of time’, says Ade Phillips, CEO of GetU. ‘Our members have the opportunity to set their preferences and view only relevant deals and offers to suit them or their family. Our market research tells us that many deals and offers go unused as they are irrelevant to customers. This is a wasted opportunity for the stores and for customers; why would I want a voucher for baby milk, for example when my family is way past the baby stage? Why send me vouchers for pet food when I have no pets? Instead, I want to see only deals and offers that I will use, in my area of interest. We believe that this targeted approach sets us apart’, adds Ade.

‘The GetU shopping mall is continuously growing and evolving, with new stores arriving plus new deals or offers being added on a regular basis. Navigating your way around the stores is easy and can be as engaging and fun as you want it to be or you can make a quick and simple visit to secure one item – after all, your time is precious and we do not want to waste it,’ says Ade. Our product database is expanding and within the next coupe of months will boast over 7 million products along with a price comparison function.

As a visitor and member of the GetUShopping mall experience, you can also peruse and collect 100’s of discount codes for your favourite stores. Online membership allows users to stay ahead of the latest trends, ideas and deals through regular GetU newsletters, e information bulletins, through Twitter and by reading the GetU blog. Members will also receive regular free gifts ‘We want GetU to be a social experience as well as a shopping experience’, says Ade Phillips who oversees continual development and enhancement of the GetUShopping site and the wider GetU network alongside his development team.

The GetU network offers free membership for one reason they say; the more members that that they have, the greater the GetU negotiating power to deliver the superior discounts and offers to their members.

The GetU team is currently working on new developments in the GetU network with imminent plans for GetUTravel, GetUPets and many more targeted sites in the GetU network which will all be available to GetU customers through universal and free membership.
