Voor Open Mobile Media schreef ik een stuk over Paribus, een New Yorkse startup die op een bijzondere manier consumenten geld probeert te besparen bij het online winkelen.
‘Tis the season to be jolly, especially for consumers who score amazing deals from retailers. And as Hans Klis reports, an app from startup Paribus is trying to find the best bargains by taking advantage of the best price policies of online retailers.
Consumers bargain hunting for everything from discounted designer sweaters to the latest tablets can spend hours comparing prices in person, scanning bar codes, or even using price comparison sites while online shopping.
The Brooklyn-based startup Paribus wants to make finding the best bargain during the holiday season as easy as possible. How? By doing all the work for the thrifty consumer. The service – a web and iOS-app – takes advantage of the best price policies of online retailers.
