  &lt;p&gt;It hopes to use the cash to launch equivalent services for DIY, baby goods and sports retailers, as well as&#160;to expand&#160;into Europe.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;Richard Anson, CEO of Reevoo, told E-consultancy: &lt;em&gt;&#8220;We are looking to grow very fast&#160;into a number of areas. We want to continue to develop our &lt;a href="http://www.reevoomark.com"&gt;Reevoomark&lt;/a&gt; service for our retail partners, to take that into more verticals and ultimately across more geographies. We are looking to expand the team very rapidly in the New Year.&#8221;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;As well as aiming to sign up more retail partners, the company also plans to develop its own site into more of a social shopping network by creating a Q&amp;amp;A platform for consumers to research products.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;It is also planning to launch an SMS service to allow shoppers to receive advice on items in stores.&lt;/p&gt;
  &lt;p&gt;
    &lt;em&gt;Watch out for the publication of&#160;the full&#160;interview with Richard in the coming days.&lt;/em&gt;
