New Coupon Feature Adds Discounts to Milo.com, the One-Stop Hub for Local Shopping on the Web
Local Shopping Leader Incorporates Coupons from National Merchants and Coupon Aggregator Spotzot to Make Spotting Deals on Products at Local Stores Even Easier
PALO ALTO, Calif., Nov. 18, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Milo.com (http://milo.com), the online leader in real-time local shopping, today released a coupon feature incorporating exclusive discounts from retail partners and integrating coupons from leading merchant coupon aggregator, Spotzot (http://spotzot.com). At launch, Milo.com features coupons for over 28,000 local stores, which cover the holiday-favorite toy, electronic and apparel categories, and also include specialty retailers such as Advance Auto Parts, Guitar Center and Famous Footwear. New coupons are introduced daily and, alongside Milo.com's simplified interface and improved search speed, help even more shoppers quickly find the best price on a desired product near them.
"We are constantly working to implement features on Milo.com that make local shopping convenient and cost effective for our users," said Jack Abraham, founder and CEO of Milo.com. "As we head into the holiday season, we know that, for the majority of shoppers, saving time and money becomes most important. Incorporating local coupons from Spotzot and our retail partners allows us to help users save both time and money in one place."
In order to see which items are eligible for additional discounts, users can filter search results by products with coupons or look for the coupon designation under products on the search page. For example, a user searching for a Schumacher instant power starter for their car would see a Milo-exclusive coupon for this product from Advance Auto Parts, which offers $20 off a purchase of $50 or more. Coupons are available for both percent and dollar off savings.
"When users search for an item on Milo.com, they see which nearby stores have it in-stock and where those stores are located. They also discover who has the best price and whether any merchants are offering additional coupon discounts," added Abraham. "Users can even set a price alert for the products that interest them most. In short, Milo.com helps shoppers nationwide find the best price on must-have items for the holidays--and all year long."
