Press Release, January 26, 2012 Galoo Executive runs for social resposibility Click to sponsor Graham Broomfield at http://www.justgiving.com/Graham-Broomfield-London-Marathon-2012 Galoo executive Graham Broomfield is facing the challenge of a lifetime as he gears up to run the London Marathon. Graham, 36, is usually seen crunching numbers and putting together marketing campaigns behind a desk on his computer, on the telephone or in meetings, but on April 22nd he will be donning his shorts and running 26.2 miles / 42.16 Kilometres to raise money for the St John Ambulance Charity. "I've never even run for a bus before," says Graham. Now I'm getting up every day at 6 a.m. to go for a run before I start work. And I've had to knock the Chicken Madras Curry’s on the head. I must be mad!" The hard work will all be worthwhile for Graham if he succeeds in raising £2,000 for The St John Ambulance. “People choke to death or suffocate or die from bleeding, thousands of lives are lost needlessly because nobody knew what to do, how to help them, how to save them. This is what first aid does, that’s why St John Ambulance teaches first aid and why volunteers practise it, they are the difference between a life lost and a life saved”. "The St John Ambulance are the unsung heroes, helping save lives every day they have done so much for us, now it's time I did something for them." Graham is hoping the global community will support him in his marathon challenge. "My friends, family and local businesses have been very supportive and generous and I hope other people will sponsor me if they can," said Graham. "Even a few pounds will make a huge difference and mean the St John Ambulance Charity can continue their invaluable work supporting families." You can sponsor Graham by visiting his online fundraising page on http://www.justgiving.com/Graham-Broomfield-London-Marathon-2012. You can pay by credit or debit card, and the money will go directly to St John Ambulance. Where supporters are UK taxpayers, the charity will automatically receive 28% extra in Gift Aid, which makes Justgiving the most efficient way of sponsoring Graham.

Press Release of The Royal Palace of Serbia, December 23, 2011
Press Release, September 22, 2011 Galoo: the new concept for sales and deals revealed After much anticipation, Galootm has officially launched its website and the virtual shopping arena is already stirring up quite the buzz. Galoo brings buyers and sellers of products and services together, locally and across the globe. It is a virtual e-commerce social shopping hub where buyers initiate and set the price requirements first “beating the advertised price” and ask registered sellers to accept the price. Galoo is unique because not only do the buyers make an offer on products but ask to “beat the price” on services too. The “beat the price” mantra has already been catching on; during the 2 week pre-launch period, Galoo.com had over a quarter of a million unique visitors. The patent pending concept of “reverse buying” by beating the advertised price revolutionizes e-commerce and trade by facilitating transactions for both buyers and sellers. Galoo’s “friend module” allows buyers to invite friends to join the transaction. Galoo brings e-commerce, social shopping and trade, literally to the fingertips of buyers and sellers worldwide. “Galoo is a new concept in e-commerce that makes bargain hunting fun and easy for anyone with internet access. In today’s economic climate, an e-commerce site like Galoo seems to be exactly what both buyers and sellers are looking for. You can imagine how this excites the sellers and how many are signing up on Galoo,” says co-founder Alison Andrews. How does this new e-commerce concept work? Upon entering Galoo you just name the product or service that you need to buy, check the prices through our price-checking mechanism and request to beat the price by making an offer. Then you let Galoo distribute your offer to all the registered sellers whether locally, internationally or both. You can then accept the offer of the first seller that responds to your offer if you wish to do so. Or you can negotiate the price with the seller, saving yourself from the embarrassment you otherwise feel when negotiating a price in a conventional shop or service location. “As just recently reported in a major newspaper, research by an online shopping company shows that three quarters of us are too shy to haggle for a better price in the UK alone; Galoo takes that shyness away. All transactions are discreet and the price is only known between the buyer and seller which protects pricing for the seller as well. In the end, we take uncertainty and hesitation out of the equation. This is bargain hunting and selling at its finest,” says co-founder Manos Ioannidis. “For instance, let’s say that you look for teeth whitening and you’re willing to pay 100 euro. Galoo sends an email with your offer to all registered Galoo dentists in the vicinity you request. Once you get a positive response from a dentist, you enter the virtual deal room, finalize with the medical professional and just let yourself enjoy the service you want at the price you are willing to pay. Of course this can apply to any service like car repair, hotels, restaurants, cruises, beauty salons, transportation, and of course all the products and services that you can imagine. ” The seller registering at Galoo can immediately increase the sales volume, by accessing a much wider clientele without additional marketing or outside salespeople. Galoo literally brings the buyer to your virtual doorstep. Therefore, the seller can actually sell a product in a lower than the permitted advertising price, or can eliminate a preordered stock surplus. Service providers can fill an empty opening or seat by accepting a lower price from the buyer. The important thing about Galoo for the sellers is that only the seller and the buyer actually know at what price a product or a service was finally purchased from that specific seller. Galoo savings calculator has also a philanthropic twist about it. It calculates your savings and gives you the chance to donate some of the money you saved, directly to the registered charity organization of your preference. Galoo’s co-founder Alison Andrews is very familiar with the need of social responsibility and giving to charities due to her mother’s HRH Crown Princess Catherine committed work at her charity, Lifeline aid. “I believe the charity aspect is important as my grandmother and my mother used to instill in me that: God gave me two hands, one to help myself and one to help others,” says Alison Andrews. The site is being promoted initially in UK, Albania, Bulgaria, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Croatia, Cyprus, Greece, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia and Turkey, in 12 languages but shortly it will expand elsewhere in Europe, United States and then the rest of the world, so that everyone can profit with Galoo in an easy, safe, user-friendly and fun environment. Galoo simply means the perfect art of negotiation in a mutually beneficial way for both the buyer and the seller... Galoo… It’s all about the “Oooo”! ********************************* Galoo.com Services Ltd.
