About Frootfal

Frootfal delivers an innovative new search based, on-line shopping service delivered via a non-intrusive "app" resident on any PC with other on-line devices to follow. The new UK service searches a real-time deal database that normal search engines do not access, and only provides relevant offers from safe and secure pre-screened merchants. The company plans to launch its services to the US audience in Q2 of 2013. The commission paid to Frootfal for sales made through the App is returned in large part to its members (the shopper) either as cash-back or through other member benefits; the retained portion comprises its operating margin which is shared with its distribution or download partners.
