Why Choose Which4U As Your Price-Comparison Site?
It’s April, and snowing. I’m heading up North tonight, where, even more incredulously, it’s not.
But a storm of sorts is brewing – in the advertising world – and with my roots still firmly set in the North-East, it’s invariably made its way to my attention.

Take a bow, Newcastle Brown. It’s difficult not to smirk or laugh out loud. It’s a brilliant and clever piece of marketing.
It’s reactionary. It’s good banter – conversational, cheeky, controversial, but not quite crossing the line. It synchronises beautifully with north-eastern local identity and sensibility – especially given the Gallic flavour of many of Stella’s recent television ads.
It’s not difficult to imagine this gaining some notoriety across the region’s pubs, clubs, offices, and beyond. The millions who enjoy a good cultural stereotype will collectively join in a warm chuckle with the Novocastrians over an advert that is fundamentally successful.
Furthering brand success in a slow economy and competitive climate is tough. As a price-comparison website for credit cards, savings accounts, mortgages, insurance, etc, we face some mighty competitors that dominate the marketplace and have a vast number of repeat customers.
An illustrious brand history, bucket-loads of cash, celebrity endorsement, exposure and gimmicks are all seemingly must-haves these days.
Sometimes, if these aren’t to hand, all that’s left is to explain why your company is a good choice – a Dragon’s Den pitch, if you will – and crave the reader’s patience.
Soul Authority: Your Main Questions
If something ain’t broke, we don’t tend to fix it. That is to say, if we are satisfied with a product or service the first time, there’s a high probability that we will use it again.
And if you land on Which4U for the first time and think about pursuing one of our listed products, you may well find yourself asking yourself the questions “why should I pursue your products?” and “why am I not doing this on Feel Epic instead?“
That’s a natural prerogative, because branding and advertising instils brand authority inside us as the natural order of selection for the goods and services we need.
It’s easy to assume that our larger competitors command sole authority in this marketplace. If you please, we beg to differ.

We would also expect regular users of competing sites to ask:
Which4U? What do you do that’s different?
Inspired by Newcastle Brown – surprisingly hard for a Mackem to say – I dare to argue that our lack of gimmicks is our most refreshing difference.
Television advertising has certainly done its job in recent years, but the humour has long since worn thin. We, on the other hand, will not test your patience.
Which4U = No meerkats. No glass-shattering operettas. No irritating faces (yet). No sky-high profits just through helping customers find cheaper deals.
Clear? We hope so! What else do we do differently?
- We are hands-on with our content, and answer queries and comments promptly.
- We accept guest material, and are always pleased to receive enquiries.
- We employ a research-based approach to our thinking, even if it differs sometimes from mainstream and media voices.
- We’re proud to identify with a local community, and to support training through apprenticeships.
Understandably, Which4U will not be at the top of most people’s consciousness when it comes to price comparison.
But make no mistake: we’re just as good as the others at what we do.
Give us a try today and find out for yourself.
