Milo.com Creates Online Shopping Engine for Brick-and-Mortar Retail
10.01.10
For impatient shoppers, there is now a way to bridge the gap between the ease of shopping online and the instant gratification of being able to buy something, bring it home, and install it the same day.
That's the idea behind Milo.com, a search engine with a difference. The difference is an emphasis on local, brick-and-mortar retailers. Milo.com takes into account the fact that many people who shop online really have no intention of completing the transaction with their computer: they want to see which stores have an item in stock, verify the price online, and then travel to a store in their immediate vicinity. Once there, they can touch and try out the item, then bring it home the same day.
The site's lead founder, Jack Abraham, 23, saw the need for the site while working at his father's company, the well-known digital-marketing intelligence service comScore .
"comScore analyzes people's behavior on the Internet, and that was a really cool introduction into technology and my interest in data," he explains. "We noticed that the Internet was driving way more offline sales than online sales. The offline portion is growing faster than online commerce. People love instant gratification. They want to touch and feel something now, and these are core impulses that just won't go away."
