Today tjoos.com declares victory as they list over 180,000 coupons with more than 20,000 verified to work. “This is a historic victory for the online shopping community. The times of endless searching and trying broken codes are finally behind us as we ring in a new era of consumer power,” says Bart Jellema, CEO of Tjoos.
Tjoos embarked on their quest to rid the internet of deceitful websites that are focused solely on making a quick buck without providing real value in October 2007. Disappointed with the quality of online shopping portals Bart decided to “No longer stand by idle and watch innocent shoppers suffer the agony of badly designed websites luring consumers in with fake deals.”
Currently the site aggregates coupon codes for over 20,000 stores and has the largest collection of working coupons. The site differentiates itself from other coupon sites by employing a team of coupon experts that regularly verify the coupon codes. Furthermore the site doesn’t show any advertisements. The coupon codes are freely available through the website, rss-feeds, widgets and twitter as well as through Firefox and IE add-ons.
Tjoos currently helps over 600,000 shoppers each month and plans to win over the hearts and minds of many more online shoppers using a shock-and-awe campaign. “We believe that any online shopper that comes to tjoos.com will be shocked by the sheer magnitude of our coupon collection and will be in awe of the quality of our verification process.”
Two years ago tjoos.com was founded by Bart Jellema and Kim Chen out of frustration with the lack of transparency, quality and honesty of online shopping sites. They made it the company’s mission to empower online consumers. Coupons were the first step in a larger plan to create an online shopping portal including price comparison, product comparison and product recommendation. “While this first struggle may be over, we cannot rest and become complacent. Much more work is to be done and we plan to bring the fight to anyone who enriches themselves off the back of the innocent online shopper. We will continue to work tirelessly to put the power back where it belongs: with the people.”
