Mobile Commerce Leader mPoria, Inc. Launches "GoLo" Shopping Service
Prices Drop and Never Stop
SEATTLE, Wa., Jan 29, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) - mPoria, Inc., the leader in mobile commerce solutions for retailers, today announced the launch of "GoLo™" -- a mobile consumer shopping service that allows consumers to purchase in-demand, hard-to-find products at significantly discounted prices. Through GoLo, mPoria drops the retail price of each featured product every few seconds until the item either sells out or its retail tag reaches zero. The service also allows consumers to locate featured merchandise, monitor dropping prices, and make purchases.
"We are thrilled to introduce this one-of-a-kind interactive mobile shopping service to consumers. GoLo gives consumers the chance to purchase popular products at deeply discounted prices and possibly even attain them for free," said Hossein Mousavi, Executive Vice President at mPoria.
The GoLo service showcases hot products from more than 100 merchants offering everything from electronics and apparel to designer perfumes. To participate, consumers simply type in http://mporia.mobi on their mobile phone browser to access the GoLo service in mPoria’s mobile shopping mall. Once there, they will find a current featured item and associated discount pricing that they can monitor throughout the day. They will also find a schedule of upcoming products to be showcased. Consumers can purchase all showcased items through GoLo using a credit or debit card, or PayPal.
“The number of U.S. consumers embracing their cell phones to purchase merchandise is growing at an outstanding pace,” continued Mousavi. “This year alone industry analysts expect more than a half of a billion dollars in consumer revenues from m-commerce – we hope to grow that number by attracting even more mobile shoppers through the GoLo service."
