Turn Your iPhone Into The Ultimate Shopping Weapon
About | Nov 24, 08
PriceSCAN has just been optimized for the iPhone, allowing you to instantly compare prices while shopping in physical stores, while on the road, or anytime you’re not in front of your PC.
When you use your iPhone (or iPod touch) to surf PriceSCAN’s website you’ll be instantly taken to a simplified interface with an easy to use search bar. Just type the name of the item for which you wish to generate a price comparison, click “search”, and PriceSCAN will display a comparison of vendor prices for that item, along with a link to additional product information. And of course you can still access features like vendor ratings, PriceSCAN indices and PriceTrend graphs by clicking the “Go To Full Site” link at the bottom of each iPhone-optimized page.
Now, when you’re shopping in a brick and mortar store, you can pull up a price comparison of whatever you’re shopping for - say a flat-screen television or digital camera. If you find lower prices online, you can use that data to negotiate with the salesperson right on the spot. If you don’t like the price you’re offered, you can always just go ahead and buy online, straight from your iPhone. This simple feature puts incredible power literally in your hands just as the holidays arrive and many shoppers find their budgets severely pinched.
So when that smooth-talking sales assistant tries to tell you you’re getting just as good a deal as you would online, whip out your iPhone, punch up PriceSCAN and give him or her a stark reminder of just what a buyer’s market we’re living in.
