Are you serious about online expanding to Hungary? Do you already know that advertising on Árukereső is a must, but you want to multiply your opportunities? Offer products at one of the most visited local shopping engines — Árgép. Continue reading and learn more about it.

Árgép offers tradition and several advantages

Árgép has existed in Hungary since 2005. It is a local mutation of the German Guenstiger, which also operates in Austria.

Approximately 2 thousand online stores advertise over 12 million products on the Hungarian version. According to the Similar Web site, its monthly traffic is around 3.5 million users. According to the Alexa website, it is one of the most visited comparison engines in Hungary. Social Bakers point to the increasing attractiveness of the company’s Facebook page.

The advantage is that you can sell here even if you do not have a company headquarters in Hungary. However, you must know that the listed prices must be in Hungarian VAT — 27%. Such offers are then displayed in the advertisement with an “!” exclamation mark.
