Hottest Google Chrome Extension Hits Consumers Internationally

PMBC Group‘s client Honey, among the Top 10 Google Chrome extensions, has been hitting consumers internationally, recently being reviewed by both Aol Daily Finance and Canada’s highly respected Globe and Mail.

Aol Daily Finance looked into the techniques necessary to finding the best deals on the web: price comparison and hidden saving opportunities. Honey ensures the best-prices available, with a “click the button, and it will automatically test out several coupon codes and apply the one that provides the biggest savings.” No matter the savings, Honey reassures you “didn’t miss out on a potential for savings.”

As Katherine Scarrow of The Globe and Mail states, this “sweet new startup does the coupon cutting for you.” In our tech-savvy day and age, online shopping has only been on the up-and-up and Honey “takes all the legwork out of finding discounts and promos.” If the numbers and popularity don’t already speak for themselves, the fact Honey has yet to make money, demonstrates their commitment to their users.

How do you get the best prices on the market?
