Website Set To Revolutionise The Way Kiwis Shop

Kiwis look set to gain from new online shopping comparison engine Tubby – a powerful online shopping and research tool that rewards members with cold hard cash!

Tubby allows consumers to search, compare, review and buy products from a wide range of national retailers, while rewarding them with a cash back incentive for shopping online, receiving email and text message offers and participating in surveys.

Tubby co-founder and Managing Director Andy Taylor says his site champions the consumer and offers an incentive to shop online. The 26 year-old entrepreneur set up the business after becoming frustrated with competitor offerings.

“Tubby is more than a traditional online shopping mall because it creates a reason for people to shop online by offering cash back on each purchase”, says Taylor. “It’s cool, clean funky and original.”

“Tubby signifies what we are trying to achieve; to build an international brand that adds significant value to people's lives, is entertaining and makes it fun to interact.”

With over 150,000 products currently available online, consumers have the chance to earn and accumulate cash through a managed account with Tubby; once they reach a fifty dollar balance the account holder receives a cash cheque.

Taylor says Tubby’s website www.tubby.co.nz adds value to the shopping experience for consumers, through true comparison functionality and its presentation of clear and concise product information.

“International research shows that consumers are more likely to buy products online after reading consumer reviews and this is something we really want to promote” says Taylor. “As Tubby grows, its product information will be backed up by user-generated reviews.”
Tubby has already accumulated a wide range of retail partners, with more expected to come onboard in the near future.

“Retailers are always looking for new ways to deliver better qualified traffic to their e-commerce stores,” says Taylor. “Tubby offers a cost effective way for them to achieve this.”

In a tactical change from its competitors, Tubby does not exclude retailers from advertising on the site. “It goes back to being a champion for the consumer”, says Taylor. “Consumers demand choice and value for money and that is what we are determined to deliver”.

So if you’re in the mood to shop and can feel a hole burning in your pocket, jump online and enjoy the benefits of Tubby – the revolutionary new shopping comparison engine that rewards you with cash!
