Social shopping website Heyo, has revealed deals with retailers Amazon UK, Argos, Rakuten Play.com and eBay to help promote their products through the site.

Established in September by Andy Harrington, the site aims to use product recommendation to help companies drive e-commerce sales.

Speaking to The Drum, Harrington revealed that the agreed contracts with the major retailers will come into place in the coming weeks and will include access to their data feeds of products and any commissions on sales made.

Argos has also agreed to offer a percentage on items collected from its physical stores also.

“Argos' inventory is first ahead of the other big boys,” commented Harrington. “I feel a real fighting spirit from Argos… they leapt on the opportunity we have presented to them which is admirable in a large company and has been a personal vindication for me and investors for the time taken in the last two years to get this right.”

It is understood that Heyo will also gain access to exclusive offers and product deals to aid its marketing activity.

“This is obviously great news for customers, who will find everything they are looking for, at the best price,” concluded Harrington.

Alongside major retailers, Heyo is also open to smaller retailers to join for free, without paying either a commission or percentage.
