Nokia partners with Getit to feature Business Listings

Location-based web app Nokia Nearby will now feature premium listings from Getit Infoservices. Through this collaboration, people will be able to access comprehensive business listings on Nokia Nearby, which is available to users of Nokia Xpress Browser.

Through this deal, Getit will sell premium listings to businesses, which will appear as paid content on top of Nokia Nearby organic search results, which are organized by proximity to the user. The potential reach for these businesses includes the millions of people who use Nokia Xpress Browser on their Nokia Asha smartphones.

Viral Oza, Director - Marketing, Nokia India, said, "Nokia Nearby has received overwhelming response from consumers, with half a million new users having downloaded the web app in the previous month alone. Through Getit Infoservices, users will enjoy an enhanced experience that enables them to search, discover and share even more places with great accuracy and richness of content."

Jaspreet Bindra, CEO, Getit Infoservices, said, "We, at Getit, strive to give our partners the best business solutions, by delivering high-quality service and value for money. The inclusion of premium listings on the Nokia Nearby web app can create significant exposure for small-to-medium size enterprises through location-relevant listings appearing alongside organic search results."

This acquisition will further strengthen Nokia’s reach globally.
