Malta’s first comparison website will go live in October, but excitement is already building

Maltese online shoppers have long been excluded from the kind of price comparison websites enjoyed by their European neighbours, but that is all set to change. MojoCompare.com, a new venture in retail technology, will alter the way Malta shops by putting power into the hands of merchants and consumers, ensuring that everyone gets a good deal when it comes to consumer purchasing.

MojoCompare.com is the brainchild of Neil Galea, who spotted a gap in the market for shoppers with internet access who choose to order goods from abroad, effectively shutting out local businesses. Moreover, MojoCompare.com gives consumers the chance to truly know and understand what products and services are available across the local market. Mr Galea explains that: “Recent independent statistics show that 73 per cent of people with internet access in Malta shop online. However, they often buy from international sites including eBay, Amazon, Play.com, and ASOS because Maltese businesses are yet to offer this service on a large scale. MojoCompare.com gives merchants the chance to compete by bringing retailers and clients from all over Malta together on one platform.

“Additionally, and also within MojoCompare.com, merchants are given their own complimentary, personal and maintenance-free eCommerce enabled website. Customers then have the option of searching for the best value available right here in Malta.”
And this is not the only way in which MojoCompare.com offers incredible value. It also gives merchants who may not be able to afford more conventional forms of advertising a way to promote their products, and is extremely cost-effective when compared with more traditional media, including print and TV advertising. In fact, from just €2.74 per day, merchants are able to showcase up to 250 of their products and services online for six months. And starting now, merchants who sign up for six months of virtual shopkeeping get two months extra absolutely FREE, signifying a cost of just €2.05 per day. Merchants are encouraged to register immediately in order to start making the most of this fantastic new offer, which is available until 31 July 2010.

Mr Galea explains: “Merchants are such a priority in this business. I want every company in Malta onside, and to do that we have created a product that practically does their job for them. Even if merchants have never considered going online, now is the time to do so, at no risk or investment to them.

“As an online store, they are also given the option to change prices and products relating to customer demand, through an easy to use interface that ensures merchants can only gain from listing their business with MojoCompare.com.”

Not that MojoCompare.com has forgotten about its end users. Its powerful comparison technology allows any customer to check the price, specifications and availability of thousands of products in one location at a simple click. It is also saves consumers money, while enabling them to determine their options from the comfort of their home, or wherever they may be, without the hassle of having to travel around the island in search of the item they require.

Moreover, as an additional introductory offer, both merchants and customers who sign up now could also win €1,000 just for registering. What could be easier?

So, MojoCompare.com offers the perfect solution to merchants and customers who were missing out on homegrown value in Malta.

“MojoCompare.com is set to revolutionise the way we shop in Malta,” concludes Mr. Galea. “And the launch of the shopping page in October is only the first step. As the site progresses we will be rolling out more and more services to ensure it really is Malta’s one-stop shopping solution, whether for product range, convenience or excellent value.”
