SAN FRANCISCO and LEXINGTON, Mass., Jan. 8, 2007 – Macworld, the world’s foremost Mac authority in print and on the Web, and Mall Networks, the company that connects top online merchants to the universe of consumer rewards programs, today unveiled “Macworld Deals”, a customized online shopping mall for all Macworld.com visitors. Launching today in conjunction with the 2007 Macworld Conference and Expo in San Francisco, “Macworld Deals” provides Macworld.com visitors with a one-stop resource for money-saving online deals.
“Macworld Deals”, located at http://deals.macworld.com, is a new shopping resource free to all Macworld.com visitors. Through this comprehensive online mall, Mac enthusiasts, SOHO users and consumers will find more than 400 trusted online retailers, providing free shipping offers, deep discounts on special items and seasonal sales. These online retailers span 24 categories, including computers, consumer electronics, magazine subscriptions, office supplies, apparel, travel and more.

“We selected Mall Networks to create our online mall based on their advanced technology platform, rapid deployment, customization options and their proven relationships with blue chip merchants and clients in several industries,” said Jeff Edman, President, Macworld Publishing, LLC. “Macworld readers are well educated and tend to spend more online than the general population, and they like to be well informed. ‘Macworld Deals’ will provide the information they need to get free shipping on the latest Apple gadget, or help them save big on their next pair of jeans.”
“By establishing the ‘Macworld Deals’ online mall, Macworld Publishing is demonstrating a commitment to continuously bringing new products and services to meet the needs of their sophisticated and loyal subscriber base,” said Dave Andre, President and CEO of Mall Networks. “We believe small businesses and savvy consumers alike will be surprised and pleased by this new resource as they discover some of the best deals available on the Web from merchants they know and respect, in a single destination.
