Achievement of Many “Firsts”

In line with its company mission to offer users a breakthrough in their online shopping experience, Tarazz.com has leveraged its unique technology to offer services previously unavailable from its more established competitors. They include:

1st Online Store to Offer Full-Landed Price in Local Currency

Tarazz.com’s patented technology allows products from its Merchant-partner sites to automatically display the Full Landed Price in local currency on a partner merchant’s product page – Full-Landed Price is the final price for purchasing a particular product, which is inclusive of all domestic and international shipping charges, taxes and custom duties, and any other miscellaneous cost. This provides an unprecedented level of user-friendliness to its customers as shoppers no longer have to factor in additional costs and manual calculations of currencies.

1st Online Shopping Portal to Offer Consolidated Shipping

Another unique factor of Tarazz.com’s technology is that it allows users consolidate purchases from many different sites into a single shopping cart. This is the first Singapore-based shopping portal to do so. Tarazz.com currently supports at least 25 major Merchant-partners sites across three continents- namely the US, UK and Asia. All purchases are ultimately consolidated into a single check-out system for convenience and potential cost savings from consolidated shipping.

Tarazz Rewards Program – 1st Shopping Portal Rewards Program

The Tarazz Rewards Program is the first loyalty program implemented by a Singapore-based shopping portal. It gives cash rebates to users that can be used on future purchases: every $100 spent will earn you $5 back, every $200 spent will earn you $10 back, and every $300 spent will earn you $25 back.

Promotions

Tarazz.com offers different weekly promotions. Unlike its competitors who can only offer discounts off shipping charges, Tarazz.com gives discounts off full-landed prices, allowing shoppers to save more in the process. Shoppers can now receive a discount of $20 off their first purchase.

Corporate Profile

Tarazz.com is one of the first of Singapore’s startups to be financially backed by a Regional Venture Capitalist, in additional to receiving principal approvals from DBS, one of the largest banks in Asia Pacific and a World Class Courier Service Provider to sponsor its e-commerce initiative.

Plans are in place to extend its services to Indonesia, Hong Kong and Korea as well as create product tie-ins with major airlines and prominent Asian merchants.
