Dealio Toolbar™ Reaches 2.5 Million Installations in 16 Months

Popular Comparison Shopping Utility Sees Installations Grow from 1 Million to 2.5 Million in Less Than 4 Months


SAN MATEO, Calif. March 12, 2007 — Vendio™, a leading provider of online sales management and lead generation services for merchants, today announced that the Dealio Comparison Shopping Toolbar surpassed two and one half million consumer installations. This milestone represents a 150% increase in less than four months and establishes Dealio as the fastest-growing and most popular comparison shopping toolbar on the Web. Adoption of the Dealio Toolbar ™ has been driven by positive word-of-mouth, trade and consumer reviews, growth in traffic to Dealio.com, and agreements with upstanding distribution partners.

"Over the past few months we have witnessed a significant increase in installations and utilization of the Dealio Toolbar," said Rodrigo Sales, Co-founder and CEO of Vendio. "Furthermore, the addition of user-generated content on Dealio.com last November resulted in more than a threefold increase in site visitors. We look forward to these trends continuing in the coming months as we roll out exciting new toolbar and Web site enhancements."

While Dealio.com was initially developed primarily to serve as a distribution point for the Dealio Toolbar, it has evolved into a leading destination for user-submitted news on deals and bargains of all kinds. This pipeline of up-to-the-minute deal information is available on Dealio.com and syndicated to millions of consumers through the Dealio Toolbar.

Dealio's unique and democratic approach to helping consumers save money is illustrated in many of its core features. While competing comparison shopping properties organize their search results to favor merchants who pay them the highest fees, Dealio always displays the lowest price merchants at the top of the list where consumers can find them easily. Dealio's inclusion of eBay listings (both fixed price/storefront and auctions) in its search results provides a more complete "snapshot" of current pricing for many products - new, used or refurbished. Dealio's unique "auto-trigger" function alerts consumers instantly when they are one click away from overpaying for virtually any product sold online.
