Online Shopping with a hint of fun!

A Rupiz Infotech initiative, Rupiz Compare has made a mark of its own in the online comparison shopping domain in the UK. In less than a year’s time, the website features well- known brands offering an assortment of goods and services. Now, it has stepped into the social networking arena, keeping its basic comparison shopping service intact to add value.

The object of combining online comparison shopping with social networking was to provide users with a fun and interactive environment where talking and shopping go hand in hand. The integration of the Web 2.0 networking and

Community features were to enable users to kick out the monotony while shopping and bring in the fun factor.

“It’s a general human tendency to ask for the advice of friends while shopping. Offline shopping lets you do that but not online shopping. Taking the same concept online, we came up with the idea of including a Community feature in Rupiz Compare”, affirms Rupinder Khurana, Co- Founder and Director, Rupiz Infotech. The striking motto of the site--“Talk Shop Talk” clearly tells first timer shoppers what the portal is all about.

Comparing and shopping lets buyers make more informed choices while purchasing. Members can share opinions and get unbiased reviews by using the LIVE Text, Voice and Video chat. Writing Scraps is also a convenient option. The innovative community feature lets users create their own profiles and personalize it by uploading pictures and videos. One can also make new friends, search for people, join communities, write reviews, comment, and tag products to their wish list.

Mascots Jack and Alice enhance the entertainment factor of the website with their quick-witted comments and suggestions on different products. Rupiz Compare built its concept on rendering shoppers a fun way to shop smart and get unprejudiced advice from like-minded people. The task of transforming Rupiz Compare into a fun-filled activity and shopping zone was not a piece of cake for its initiators. Even then the portal has not lost its organized appearance in the process and the LIVE environment is just an icing on the cake.
