Milo.com Pounds the Pavement to Locate Over 100,000 Local Sales Each Day
Newly Launched Sales Feature Enables Budget-Conscious Shoppers to Search Online for Nearby Discounts on Millions of Products
PALO ALTO, Calif., March 4 -- A sale price is often the deciding factor for a purchase, especially in a recovering economy. Milo.com (http://www.milo.com) - the Web site that enables shoppers to research online and buy local - is helping its users shop even smarter through the addition of real-time sale prices on more than 2 million products at national and regional stores throughout the country. Shoppers are now able to search over 100,000 local sale prices each day and filter by category and merchant across 48,000 retailers, ranging from Best Buy to Blain's Farm & Fleet.
"Price is an extremely important factor when it comes to making a purchase decision," said Jack Abraham, Milo.com founder and CEO. "The sale prices found on Milo.com average 25 to 30 percent off the original retail price and, when used in conjunction with our product details and local availability information, give users everything they need to save big on great products that are locally available now. Unlike Google, we can tell you if a product is in-stock locally and unlike Amazon, we don't ask people to wait - or pay - for shipping."
In addition to aggregating decision-making details such as price, store proximity and user reviews, Milo.com is leading the way in the local product search space by displaying the real-time local availability of millions of products - from digital cameras to energy-efficient appliances. By using Milo.com, shoppers are able to make a smart purchase decision based on:
-- Daily sale prices at local stores
-- Real-time availability and pricing information across local stores
-- Aggregated ratings and user reviews
-- A list of comparable products and suggested accessories
"There are tons of sites designed for online bargain-hunters, but Milo.com offers the ability to window shop sales in your own town from the Internet," continued Abraham. "You avoid shipping costs, get to see, feel and try before you buy, and get the item you want now instead of having to wait."
