May 22, 2008 - AlaTest‘s core business is to support customers worldwide with their buying decisions by providing objective, up-to-date product reviews from professional sources. Pangora was one of the first clients to subscribe to the service and have now entered into a distribution deal that will make the alaTest’s review content available in all four markets by adding it to its own network and resell it to existing and potential new clients.
The Pangora network currently includes more than 100 portal partners and over 4000 online-shops Europe wide that now have the opportunity to increase sales conversion by showing review content on their sites. alaTest recently launched its Italian website, and can now serve Pangora clients in German, French, English and Italian language.
Pangora recently successfully launched www.decido.de – an online purchasing guide for consumers. The new shopping portal focuses on helping visitors making their buying decisions thanks to a social shopping community. alaTest content is part of the decido shopping features using reviews and ratings.
“We are delighted to extend our cooperation with Pangora“, comments Arie Struik, founder and CEO of alaTest. “This will accelerate the process of spreading our message throughout Europe: alaTest informs consumers on the quality of products and increases their confidence in making buying decisions. With Pangora’s unique positioning on the European e-commerce market, it makes a perfect fit with alaTest and the result will benefit millions of visitors by giving them a better shopping service.”
