Selkie Software Tests Popularity of Google Checkout System with Visitors: Data Recovery Innovator Tests Giant as Preferred Payment Method

    NEW YORK, NY, December 19, 2008 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Google is the world's leading search engine, but can Google compete with PayPal and other established e-commerce providers? Selkie Software is putting Google to the test to see if customers will select the Google system if it's discounted, instead of paying the regular amount with PayPal. This test will run to January 31, 2009.

With an eye to save consumers money while testing Google, Selkie Software is offering consumers the chance to use Google Checkout when purchasing any Selkie Software title, while receiving a discount on the purchase price. To test the popularity of Google Checkout and to encourage its adoption, Selkie Software is offering all customers 25% off the purchase price just for using Google Checkout.

"I know people might wonder why a small company like ours is prepared to promote a giant like Google," said Online Marketing Assistant Jackie Renton. "The truth is, we benefit in terms of fees and bonuses, and it's worth a try to see if customers will adopt Google as a payment system." While Selkie Software still offers many traditional ways to pay, Google Checkout offers consumers ease of use and credit card protections. Google Checkout allows consumers to pay using all major credit cards as well as by check and other methods.

While Selkie Software will continue to accept other forms of payment, Google Checkout is the only method that will offer the discount during the test period.

Selkie Software is offering this discount for the entire suite of award-winning, unique software; Selkie Rescue Data Recovery, Selkie Freedom, Selkie Photo Recovery, Selkie Music Mover and Selkie Email Recovery.
