"The site was developed to combine two popular trends, online shopping and social networking. It was built to take advantage of consumers' never ending desire to obtain the best deal possible and the love of online social networking sites like Facebook," stated Grossman who serves as the company's Chief Executive Officer.
The site delivers to visitors and JoeShopping members hot deals, coupons, comparison shopping tools as well as the unique advantage for site visitors to read product reviews from others and then chat about them and share their thoughts and experiences, "Imagine if Facebook and Amazon had a baby…." laughs Kardon.
The JoeShopping website offers a friendly interface where users can quickly and easily see popular coupons, hot deals, the latest reviews, or read JoeShopping blogs. In fact there are nearly 40 million products available through the site and thousands of online deals and product reviews. Their latest innovation is JoeShopping Rewards where members can earn free movie tickets, magazines, photo prints and more, just by using the website.
Of course what would a modern day Christmas and holiday season be without online shopping and great bargains? Well, JoeShopping.com has put together a very unique program for this holiday season. Apparently, according to the Mayan Calendar the world will end on December 21, 2012, therefore this could possibly be the very last Christmas, so JoeShopping has organized numerous deals and products based on whether you believe you will end up in heaven or where it's a little hotter! And, in the spirit of the season, they will be making donations to various charities and are asking shoppers to vote on their favorite charities.
Of course, if it is the last Christmas and Chanukah season, JoeShopping.com says 'shop til you drop', live life to the fullest and prepare for the future, wherever you might be going. To this end, the site's Heaven and Hell portals showcase products associated with each destination—from heavenly soft 1,500 thread count bed sheets, bright light bulbs and white terrycloth robes to hellish hot sauce, burn cream, ice packs and more.
In addition to helping prepare for the afterlife, this “end of times” initiative connects JoeShopping.com users with products they need to accomplish lifelong goals, such as mountain gear for climbing Mount Everest or instruments to start a rock and roll band. The site also grants individuals the opportunity to give others amazing “final Christmas” gifts.

“It’s time to start living like there’s no tomorrow—literally,” said Andrew Kardon, President of JoeShopping.com. “Where we're all headed, there are no rules, so buy whatever you have always wanted, but be sure to get the best deal!"
