Webgains Launch Mobile Recycling Price Comparison Tool

With the recent growth in the mobile recycling sector, we've been inundated with affiliate requests for a tool which can help customers identify which company will offer the best price for a customer's handset.

Roll on the Webgains Mobile Recycling Price Comparison Tool!

The tool allows affiliates to place a search option on their sites where customers can search by brand and/or handset and the tool will return results from our merchants in the sector who have the handsets included in their datafeeds ranked in decending cash price values.

So far, we've included the following merchants although more are expected shortly:

Envirofone
mopay.co.uk
Fone Bank
Earth Mobile
Money 4 Ur mobile
Sell Old Phone

Coming soon:

Mobile Phone Xchange
Sell Old Mobile

But not all affiliate sites are the same...

Yup, we've taken that into account too. The tool is fully customisable, offering affiliates 2 levels of customisation: a basic version and an advanced version.

The basic customisation (great for a quick integration):

• Width (% or px)
• Height (% or px)
• Alignment (horizontal/vertical) - this is used to show the alignment of the make and model text boxes...either alongside each other or one on top of the other
• Background Colour
• Foreground Colour
• Border Colour
• Font
• Font Colour
• Font Size
• Heading Font Colour

The advanced customisation (perfect for those wanting to completely customise the look and feel...even brand it as your own):

• Width (% or px)
• Height (% or px)
• Custom Stylesheet URL (we've included an example style sheet. Please feel free to alter the style sheet and then specify the location where your version exists and we'll incorporate your settings into the tool)

AND THAT'S NOT ALL...

We've also released 2 versions of the tool itself to help it fit snuggly into any affiliate site.

The default version is incorporated within an iFrame which lists search options and results within the frame size specified. This is perfect if you don't want to have your content being pushed down by a long list of results.

The other option is to tick the "Use Popup Window" box. This will let you specify the size of only the search box (still with the customisation options intact) and will display the results in a new window once a customer completes a search.

Once the results are shown, customers simply click the link next to the price they want and get whisked away to the merchant site.

To start using the tool, simply log in to your account and select "Mobile Price Comparison" from the menu!

If you have any questions or feedback, positive or negative, please grab me on MSN, email or on the phone as we're really keen to ensure we haven't missed anything and to ensure any future versions of the tool incorporate as much as we can.

Cheers

Any chance of using this as a hook to sign up Mazuma? I built my own recyle comparison a couple of weeks ago but hate sending traffic to Mazuma on DGM :-)

There's also a typo in the tool
"This tool will compare the prices the companies listed below will poay you"

Cheers,

Great catch...good thing I don't have to write that much copy

I've got the tech guys correcting the spelling asap.
