About Frootfal
Frootfal delivers an innovative new search based, on-line shopping
service delivered via a non-intrusive "app" resident on any PC with
other on-line devices to follow. The new UK service searches a real-time
deal database that normal search engines do not access, and only
provides relevant offers from safe and secure pre-screened merchants.
The company plans to launch its services to the US audience in Q2 of
2013. The commission paid to Frootfal for sales made through the App is
returned in large part to its members (the shopper) either as cash-back
or through other member benefits; the retained portion comprises its
operating margin which is shared with its distribution or download
partners.
