AUSTIN, Texas (Business Wire EON) April 9, 2008 --
Thousands of Americans fly to Shanghai each week and take advantage of
the great retailers, unique items and local prices. ShangBy.com makes it
possible for online consumers to shop in Shanghai from the comfort of
home. This is made possible through the company’s
unique, online video shopping events that take place each week Sunday
through Thursday evenings. Next week, ShangBy will spotlight its live
events by offering a series of themes, from a Mother’s
Day preview to a focus on jewelry with stones that the Chinese believe
will bring fortune, luck and love. Live shoppers will receive a 20%
discount off all purchases next week on top of the everyday savings that
ShangBy customers can expect: 40 – 85% off
U.S. appraised values.
According to Steve Bell, CEO and founder, “ShangBy.com
is all about bringing the Asia retail experience to Americans - to make
shopping ShangBy online almost like shopping Shanghai live - except we
guarantee everything and you don't have to take your shoes off to go
through security.“
One recent customer experience demonstrates the unique value of live
online shopping in Shanghai. Susan Baker Outslay called into a live web
cast and worked with the retailer and ShangBy host to design a necklace
similar to one she had seen on “Sex And The
City”. She negotiated the cost to $105,
purchased it through ShangBy’s website and
then had it appraised. The appraised value came back at $700.
Live Web Cast Themes
All live web casts during the week of April 13th
start at 9pm CDT on www.ShangBy.com.
Viewers participate and interactively shop by dialing 1-877-Pearl51, a
toll-free phone number where ShangBy’s
support will greet you before transferring the call over to the Shanghai
retailers. A discount of 20% will be offered to all live shoppers. The
discount code will be provided privately to all callers.

How It Works
With video crews and a Western shopping hostess, ShangBy broadcasts a
live video feed from Shanghai’s top jewelers
in the world-renowned jewelry markets on www.ShangBy.com.
Customers watch the jewelry being featured, and communicate with other
viewers through a chat functionality. Shoppers call in to the web cast
to shop with the retailers, to design or customize their own pieces, and
to bargain for a great price. There is no pressure to buy, and all
products are 100% guaranteed. All items negotiated are available to
purchase online, with additional costs such as international shipping
and customs service fees.
