Freepages in home shopping link-up

FREEPAGES, THE telephone and online directory service, yesterday linked up with Cendant, the US marketing group, to offer a cheap home shopping service. Under the terms of the deal callers to Freepages' Scoot service will be able to join Cendant's UK service.

The club, which charges an annual subscription fee of pounds 39, allows its members to buy electrical goods and white goods at huge discounts to retail prices. Freepages will take a small cut of every item its users buy through Cendant.
