Goulong.com , the leading Chinese comparison shopping portal, announced that it has partnered with alaTEST, an independent online service provider for product quality comparison, to introduce product reviews from over 675 renowned international sources to Chinese Shoppers. The partnership is designed to provide Chinese consumers comprehensive and objective reviews on the quality and performance of a vast variety of products, and help Chinese consumers make shopping decisions.

As an online service helping consumers with their shopping decisions by objectively informing them about product quality, alaTEST has collected over 1,200,000 reviews from industry experts representing 675 professional sources such as CNET, T3, Computer Active, and PC Mag, covering a wide range of categories including digital cameras, cellular phones, MP3-players, TVs, computers etc. Through the collaboration between Goulong.com and alaTEST, these product reviews and scores appear on corresponding product pages on Goulong.com.

“In western countries consumers consider expert reviews a very important reference when they make purchase decisions, either online or offline”, said Harry Wang, CEO of Goulong.com, “with the rapidly increasing availability of product choices in China, consumers are in urgent need of objective, reliable, and detailed reviews from independent experts. We are glad that we are able to offer this service to our users through our collaboration with alaTEST. By integrating expert reviews with all the other information that we already provide such as price comparison, detailed product information and user ratings, we now offer our users a unique array of services that further simplifies their shopping decision making process”.

“More informed customers increases the sales conversion rates and here review content is an important factor.” said Arie Struik, CEO of alaTEST, “Before our collaboration with Goulong.com, we already noticed that a significant portion of visits on our official site actually came from China, indicating that expert reviews are highly demanded by customers in China. As a leading shopping search portal in China, Goulong understands the value of our service for its visitors and we are very pleased to start offering our review services to Chinese consumers through Goulong’s large user base.”
