DealGrabber: Mobile Aggregation is the Way to Go

Mobile is all the rage with daily deal companies these days. It seems like every deal site either has an app of its own, or is partnering with a company that provides them. Aggregators are major participants in the mobile space, helping customers find a variety of deals based on location.

Price Grabber, part of Experian (the global information company) just launched its contribution to the mobile space: DealGrabber. Available on iTunes, DealGrabber is free, and is a great way for customers to browse through hundreds of deals from multiple deal sites, based on location. Deals from Groupon, Gilt City, LivingSocial, Eversave, and Restaurant.com are just samples of deals that can be found through DealGrabber.

The app makes it easy to browse deals using a map view, list view, or a combination of the two. Users can view detailed information like category, rive, value, location and expiration date. With the touch of a screen, users can also share deals on Facebook.

“With the tremendous growth in the local daily deals marketplace, PriceGrabber saw the opportunity to save consumers time and money and offer local daily deals all in one mobile app. PriceGrabber has been perfecting the process of aggregating the best price on millions of products from thousands of merchants for more than 10 years. When we entered the local daily deal space in June 2011, it was a natural progression for us. Developing a mobile app specifically for our local daily deals category brings the convenience of our local daily deals Website into the pocket of the consumer.” – Graham Jones, General Manager, PriceGrabber
