PriceFile
Rolls Out Versatile Sales Ops For Merchants
PriceFile.com,
the cornerstone property of PriceFile Inc, an Internet merchant
service provider and price comparison engine, today announced
their strategy for the 2002 Holiday retailing season.
October
2, 2002, Minneapolis, Minnesota, for immediate release-
PriceFile.com , the
cornerstone property of PriceFile Inc, an Internet merchant
service
provider and price comparison engine, today announced their
strategy for
the 2002 Holiday retailing season.
"We plan to emphasize the ease with which merchants can exploit
their
PriceFile accounts for greater sales volume during this critical
shopping season.", said Andrew Sullivan, President, "PriceFile
offers a
unique opportunity for merchants to feature special deals,
limited
quantities and unique items in an on-the-fly database resource
which can be
integrated into their site as well as exploited in pricefile.com's
pricing engine."
PriceFile's home site, www.pricefile.com, not only features
thousands of
merchant listings from hundreds of online retailers, but also
two
directories where shoppers can find stores in their local
geographic
area, for significant savings on shipping charges, and also
locate stores by name, perhaps getting back in touch with
a retailer who
has provided outstanding service and value in the past.
In addition to these two directories, PriceFile also features
another website property-
www.brandlist.com, which is integral to providing a complete
shopping
experience, allowing visitors to find links to sometimes obscure
manufacturer sites in order to download new drivers for hardware,
view
technical specifications, and get the latest news on upcoming
products.
In the past year, PriceFile has upgraded its database engine
and
website design, making the site more robust and the online
merchant
account interface more versatile. Merchants can enter products
in the
database with greater speed and ease than ever before, and
include their
logo with every listing. With the addition of the Store Directories
and
enchanced BrandList presence, the yearly fee to merchants
of $99 - with
a 30-day guarantee of satisfaction- is a sales and marketing
opportunity seldom encountered
anywhere on the web and a bargain price-wise when compared
to other
websites offering similar services.
PriceFile looks forward to a season of growth for its web
endeavors and
increased sales for the merchants who take full advantage
of PriceFile
services.

PriceFile.com
taps Lucrative Government Technology Markets
Minneapolis,
MN April 16th, 2002, for immediate release-
Vendors
listing products at www.pricefile.com profit from the $15
billion government credit card market. Currently, over 500,000
federal, state, and local governments employees hold government
approved credit cards. Government agency credit card use is
estimated to exceed $16 billion this Fiscal Year, up from
$14.8 last year. The average amount of a government credit
card transaction is also on the rise. The vast majority of
government cardholders are end-users who have been delegated
authority to make purchases up to $2,500 from a single source.
The $2,500 ceiling for a single purchase is a federal limit;
some states and localities have limits that can be as high
as $25,000.
"One of our primary objectives is getting our vendor's offerings
in front of goverment and institutional credit card holders
as cost-effectively as possible.", says PriceFile CEO Andrew
Sullivan. "Thats why we exist... We help our vendors gain
exposure, traffic and new customers in the Gov Sector...It's
up to them to keep them coming back."
Each week PriceFile.com will recieve numerous Bid requests
from actual Government & Educational purchasers. These requests
are forwarded exclusively to PriceFile vendors, providing
additional oppurtunities to break into this lucrative market.
Government credit card holders purchase products or services
from any source they choose. The process is almost restriction
free and works much like the process your company would go
through in purchasing products or services: they simply go
to the internet, grab a catalog, or pick up the telephone,
and make a purchase. The advantage to government purchasers
using a credit card rather than another method of purchase
is that they can save over $50 per transaction.
