Netotiate (pronounced ‘ne-toh-shee-ate’, meaning ‘negotiate over the net’), is unique direct consumer-to-merchant negotiation platform. Empowered consumers can create their own deals and save on the products they wish to purchase, by making anonymous and committing offers to the merchants of their choice via the secure Netotiate platform. All merchants on the Netotiate platform are established firms that can also be found in many of the leading comparison shopping engine sites.
Netotiate.com allows consumers to conduct price comparison and on-line negotiation (netotiation) in various product categories. Netotiate functionaly can be found in netotiate.com as well as in other shopping sites.
Merchants are presented with information (e.g. competitors’ prices, consumer ratings), supporting their decision to accept, decline or counter offers.
