RS has today launched its new online ‘Price Checker’ facility at rswww.com/pricechecker. Updated on a weekly basis, this price comparison site looks at frequently purchased products comparing the prices from RS and other suppliers.
“It’s important for our customers to see just how competitively priced RS is in the market place,” states Neil Harrison, Marketing Manager for Services at RS. “We have displayed the price comparisons all in one place for convenience and to help save time in searching for the best price on multibuy purchases.”
RS believe that this is the first price comparison facility introduced in its industry.
