mShopper adds GNC and B&H Photo as Mobile Merchants
National retailers go mobile to allow their customers to buy "whatever, wherever,
whenever" on mShopper
Customers can compare prices and buy directly through mShopper (http://shop.mshopper.com ), or the merchant's dedicated "mStore" (ie: http://gnc.mshopper.com ) where shoppers can search individual inventories by keyword, or browse across detailed product categories through a simple interface.
mShopper has added significantly to their existing range of merchants in recent weeks, bringing the grand total up to 10 million products in 24 major categories ranging from Baby, to Electronics, to Jewelry, and many more.
Other new merchants include Buydig, Babycenter Store, Forzieri, FragranceNet.com, and HomeBistro.com. All are now fully enabled for mobile commerce, allowing them to offer their entire product catalogues to consumers over an integrated, easy-to-use mobile commerce platform.
"mShopper's goal is to address all mobile shopping use cases," said mShopper founder and CEO David Gould. "Our platform allows users to quickly find a range of products by a simple keyword query, or by selecting a product category and refining their search. The consumer response thus far has been overwhelming - we're empowering savvy people to find the best prices and act on them, right from their handset."
mShopper is available to mobile users who have access to the Mobile Web, across all U.S. mobile carriers.
