Unique concept - First time in UK

[vishwalok-nath]

We have launched a unique Shopping Comparison Portal with Community Features.

At Price Comparison - Online Shopping and Price Comparison Reviews at UK Stores users can see other Online Users and can chat with them using FREE text, voice, & Video chat features. They can send scraps, upload pictures / videos etc. They can tag their favorite product, read / write reviews etc. Users are given reward points for almost all the activities they perform.

This is the First Buyers Community in UK, where the users can not only get the best deals by comparing various merchants but can also interact in a live environment & take live reviews from fellow shoppers.

I request all of you to kindly give your reviews and suggest ways of marketing the portal, as we need loads of traffic for making this successful

regards

Good concept..But I am sure if It will work...
I dont normally mix Business and Pleasure together...

if I want to buy something..I will just Purchase some online order it from the site..and than chill maybe go to Music site or even watch Online Movie...But...shopping and Interacting while your Giving YOUR Plastic...to the world of PHISHING....is something...I wont do It.

Good Luck and all the Best.

But, hey..if it works well Done.

I agree with Ramazotti.

It sounds like a very good concept. But a website packed with all of these features. Does a user see a product they like and then spend time chatting to someone else about it?

What are the chances that you and another user will be online live at the same time so you can chat real time?

I think the review system is as far as those sort of features will go. But If you can get it to work Well done. Good Luck and keep us posted

Really Really Really nice!

About getting a user base? Why not contact a couple of the forum members who work for the networks and see what they can do for you with regard to putting you in touch with some of the heavy hitting affiliates who can refer users to you for a fixed fee ( if you can stretch to a quid or two per referral (transacting) then you could find that it is very cheap at the price in the long run.

I worked on a similar project (not site) a while back and the merchant is now a leading player in their field because they were willing (it didn't half cost them by the way) to shell out on building a user base. They also went the way you have gone too by offering xxquid for the “refer a friend” benefit and that worked extremely well.

At first glance you appear to have designed/developed to attract the 18 to 24 demographic, so where are your big shiny (gadgety) prizes. Get them up there, high on the page, and make sure they're quality - you've obviously spent a fortune on development so dip into the budget now to get the visitors attention.

Also on this forum you will find webmasters of freebie sites who can drive traffic like you just wouldn't believe. The trick with them is not to expect anything for nothing. Give them some extra nice stuff to offer their users in exchange for clicking through to you and you will be amazed at the results you can get.

I wish you well with it - it looks and works really nice.
