Googlegear Gives Away 10,000th Scanner

Customers win with Googlegear's approach to attracting new users

Newark, CA, January 20, 2000 - Googlegear ( http://www.googlegear.com ), who began giving away scroll mice just will be replacing XtraPlus.com while upholding its mission of bringing customers the best values on the internet coupled with superb customer service. To reward its loyal users, and to attract new visitor to its site, Googlegear is giving away Artec scroll mice to everybody who requests one. Shipping is extra, but nominal, considering the $29.99 mice are some of the hottest selling items on the internet. 

Along with the low prices, Googlegear retains the look and feel of its predecessor. The site is divided into three storefronts: Computers, Pottery, and Novelties. 

The Computer store is built on their core expertise, and a result of carefully selected items from reputed manufacturers. The Pottery collection includes hand-picked pieces from Asia, many of which are one-of-a-kind, available only from Googlegear. The Novelties section demonstrates their festive side, with products you wouldn't expect to be able to purchase from a reputed retailer, such as pool toys, glow sticks and yo-yo's.

About Googlegear

Googlegear ( http://www.googlegear.com ) was founded in May of 1999 in Newark, California, under the name XtraPlus.com. Its mission was to provide computer components and peripherals to the consumer at outstanding prices and with paramount customer service. Because of overwhelming requests to expand its selection of products while maintaining its stringent standards, the company has since expanded its line. To cater to this broader offering, it relaunched as Googlegear in January 2000. The term "google" is a slang for the mathematical term representing 10 to the hundredth power (a number that never seems to end). The new name reflects the company's commitment to present a never-ending line of products to its customers, all at extremely competitive prices. Even with an average growth of more than 200% per month, the company still maintains its founding pledge to customer satisfaction and the delivery of a rewarding shopping experience.
