- Are you a MIVA Merchant 5 user?
- Are you looking for a new marketing tool for your online store?
- Have you ever wanted to help beta test a product or service?
Now’s your chance.
MIVA Small Business is starting the beta testing phase of ShopBandit.com.
ShopBandit.com is a comprehensive shopping engine that allows consumers to make smarter buying decisions online. We empower consumers to compare the products and to read user product reviews in order to make informed purchase decisions. Consumers can then research the latest promotional and pricing information on products listed from merchants.
While there is no fee to list items on ShopBandit.com, you will be asked to make an initial deposit. Each time a consumer is referred from ShopBandit.com and completes a purchase from your store, ShopBandit.com receives a small commission deducted from your initial deposit. This is known as pay-per-acquisition. You will be receiving customers from ShopBandit.com!
