CMP Media Inc. (http://www.cmpnet.com/), a leading provider of high-tech news and information, has chosen GotSavings to provide product promotion information for TechShopper.com, CMP's technology research, shopping, and support resource. Starting today, TechShopper will integrate GotSavings's comprehensive coupon, rebate, contest, and special offer information within its "Compare & Buy" areas.

GotSavings enhances the TechShopper buying experience by adding product promotions to the site's existing body of unique product research and purchasing tools. After reviewing the promotions, site users can immediately receive promotions of interest by email. By letting users select only the promotions that interest them, TechShopper shields users from the normal deluge of unsolicited promotional messages.

In addition to GotSavings's promotions and rebates, TechShopper offers expert opinions, product reviews, and articles from CMP publications and Web sites, plus peer ratings and reviews as well as purchasing opportunities through comparison shopping, negotiated pricing, group buying, and auction engines.

"People are seeking more information for their buying decisions and need to know all their options before they buy, which includes special rebates or promotions," explains TechShopper Editor-in-Chief Ronen Yaari. "By partnering with GotSavings, we give users complete information about the product landscape so they can make an intelligent and well-informed buying decision."

"GotSavings is the first online promotion service that lets manufacturers reach shoppers directly during the buying process," explains Jeremy Salesin, VP, Business Development at GotSavings. "With its large readership and broad toolkit of research and purchasing utilities, TechShopper is an ideal environment for GotSavings."
