Sortprice.com was launched in January of 2004, and has quickly become a popular comparison shopping engine. Sortprice offers consumers a positive shopping experience, and provides them with thousands of products to chose from, ratings & reviews, and social media integration. Their mission is to, “help consumers save money by offering them the safest and easiest online shopping experience available, while providing merchants with a fair and cost-effective way to expand their online sales presence.”1
Sortprice has been working towards becoming a key player in the comparison shopping engine area, but does not yet posses a viable market share of readership. However, Sortprice is set apart by its foray into the social media realm with its application that allows businesses to sell directly from the Facebook website and interact meaningfully with shoppers through social media.
Cost of Listing Products in Sortprice
Sortprice offers two programs for merchants to choose from; the basic program and then enhanced program. The Basic program is free of charge, and lists a small percentage of a company’s products in the Sortprice search results. The Enhanced program lists all of a company’s products at a flat rate, starting at $149.99/month. The flat rate increases with the number of products uploaded, as well as the addition of a logo to the product listing.
