Online Shoppers Spend An Average Of Seven Minutes To Complete Purchase At Leading eTailer For Women

Customers Find Bargains in Less Time Than It Takes to Find Mall Parking Space

Boston, MA – November 23, 2006

SmartBargains.com®, the leading online retailer for unbelievable finds for women at outrageously low prices, today announced data associated with its average sale. This holiday season, on average, SmartBargains.com customers will buy two to three items, spend $120 - $150, while saving $250 - $300, in a seven minute shopping experience - less time than it takes to find a mall parking space. SmartBargains.com's deals are so compelling the decision to purchase doesn't require a great deal of thought, so the seven minute sales cycle is dramatically lower than that of other online retailers. The averages were determined through sales activity for SmartBargains.com's two million customers.

"Our customers tell us the thrill of bargain hunting is not in the hunt, but in the success of finding a great bargain," states Ben Fischman, SmartBargains.com CEO. "SmartBargains.com buyers literally scour the earth looking for the best bargains from the best designers, so consumers can find what they want in less than ten minutes."

SmartBargains.com has given over two million consumers unmatched bragging rights by ensuring their hit rate - finding exactly what they want - is higher than any other bargain shopping experience. Since 2000, SmartBargains has saved its customers over $1 billion. As such, SmartBargains.com is an accurate bellwether for the online shopping industry. Last week, SmartBargains.com was selected #8 in the Top 10 best online shopping experiences by Blast Radius. The Blast Research list also included Amazon, Wal-Mart, Buy.com, Best Buy, Tiger Direct, and Macy's.

"Women are addicted to finding the ultimate bargain and we love to brag about our finds," says Beth Borchers, SmartBargains.com customer. "SmartBargains.com makes bargain shopping a quick, painless and successful experience. They save me money, but as importantly, they save me time. I'm hooked!"
