SEATTLE – January 24, 2007 – Valentine’s Day just got a little sweeter. Mpire, Inc., the leading online shopping service that empowers consumers to find the right product at the right price, today announced it will partner with Ice.com, the Web’s leading online jeweler for Valentine’s Day.
The Valentine partnership brings two online shopping leaders together for one significant one-stop shopping experience. Mpire will showcase and merchandize Ice.com’s broad product offerings on its Mpire Web site, as well as offer detailed product information to help consumers comparison-shop in the often overwhelming world of jewelry. The result will be a fun, tailored lovers’ shopping guide in time for Valentine’s Day that offers truly unique gift-giving ideas.
Ice.com, long known for its quality jewelry, service, selection, and secure online shopping experience, will showcase the Valentine’s Day Mpire opportunities as well, allowing its shoppers to take advantage of the special offers. News of the partnership and exclusive deals available will be spread through Mpire and Ice.com blogs, newsletters and other Web-oriented means.
“Since retailers often can only provide limited product selection, and other comparison engines don’t offer much in the way of merchandizing,” says Matt Hulett, chairman and CEO of Mpire, Inc., “Mpire and Ice.com can deliver a more thorough and comprehensive way of providing detailed product information and helpful, valuable suggestions for Valentine’s Day gift-giving. For men who’ve sweated through the process of purchasing jewelry for a loved one, this is fun and easy one-stop shopping that offers a better opportunity to make a meaningful, thoughtful purchase.”
The partnership’s new and unique approach not only takes the stress and hassle out of Valentine’s gift shopping, but visitors to the Web sites will also find Deal of the Day specials offering significant savings and exclusive promotions on a variety of jewelry.
Mpire is also launching its new Coupon Center, featuring exclusive coupons for Ice.com, as well as thousands of coupons for retailers such as Target, WalMart, Amazon, Apple, Nike, Overstock, Best Buy, Staples, HP and Sony.
