Acceller developed a comparison-shopping platform for digital lifestyle services because the choices are numerous and the decision making process is complicated. The proliferation and rapid obsolescence of new offerings outstrips the mass market’s ability to understand their choices as well as the set-up and usage intricacies of each service. Acceller presents practical content, contextually based on what the user is doing on the screen. This enables consumers to make more informed buying decisions and get the best of their digital lifestyle products.
In addition, Acceller’s comparison-shopping platform drives incremental revenue for its reseller partners. It also supports multiple channels, such as e-commerce sites, storefronts, call centers, and even device icons for computer and consumer electronics manufacturers. Acceller’s network of service providers means 95% of U.S. households can find services for their home.
"Consumers today are faced with a growing number of options for Internet, phone, and cable TV, as well as new things like high-definition television and bundled services,", opinions the president and principal analyst of Leichtman Research Group, Inc, Bruce Leichtman. "For this reason, consumers need easy to understand comparison-shopping services, like those provided by Acceller, that greatly simplify the process of researching and acquiring these important communications and entertainment services," he concludes.
