Shopster® Poised for Another Major Growth Period

The introduction of new Supplier Business Packages expected to fuel growth and power up business for growing community of retailers.

Calgary, AB / Shopster/(May 12, 2010) – Shopster®, (www.shopster.com), the world’s foremost Merchant Network, announced today the launch of its Supplier Business Packages, the latest addition to its growing list of products and services.

Earlier this year, Shopster announced a phenomenal 400 percent increase in its customer base only seven months after launching the Merchant Network™, a social network that attract retailers to sell their products online.

Today, Shopster aims to repeat history with another innovative approach – giving suppliers, liquidators, manufacturers and distributers direct access to its growing base of retailers, dramatically increasing their distribution.   Shopster’s Supplier Business Packages give suppliers increased distribution, inventory management tools and the ability to promote inventory to thousands of resellers all within a safe and secure selling environment.

“Shopster’s new Supplier Portal was developed in response to the surge in demand we are seeing for products of every type as the economy strengthens,” says Sarath Samarasekera, co-founder and CEO of Shopster.com. “Our product team worked with several suppliers to develop the new packages, and we’ll be announcing several new partnerships focused on the US and China manufactured goods trade over the next few months.”

The new supplier platform is the perfect complement to Shopster’s online retailer base,  allowing greater flexibility by bringing in more inventory with competitive pricing.

Shopster is well on its way to building a premier network of retailers and suppliers across the globe by building a complete eCommerce ecosystem.
