Have you ever wanted to complement your existing or new content to allow visitors to compare product prices, then have a list of instantly available options of where they can buy the item? Well, that's just what we've created with our Price Comparison Widget! You can now build your own price comparison widget for your website, choosing from more than 500 million products from more than 5,000 advertisers. That means more ways for your site visitors to buy what they want, right from your website.
Our Product Comparison Widget will allow you to search matching products by matching the UPC (Universal Product Number) across all approved advertisers on your account. All of our Data Feeds are updated daily, which means that we will always have up to date pricing and availability for each product per advertiser.
Picture these problems...
You have an article recommending the iRobot Braava Jet 240 Robo Mop on your website. The article was originally written with the only option for the reader to go shop at Macys.com.
- PROBLEM: You have to take the time to build deep links to the specific product page.
- PROBLEM: If you post the price you saw that day, it won't stay up to date!
- PROBLEM: You can only link to that one store.
- PROBLEM: What happens if the item is sold out at the store you linked? Nothing, because they can't buy it now.
But with our Price Comparison Widget, the reader will have the option to choose where to buy the product from up to 12 different stores -- all of which will credit you with the sale!
The Solution?
- REAL-TIME OPTIONS! Give readers the option to compare prices in real-time & availability across multiple stores.
- AUTOMATIC UPDATES! Create the widget once and let our technology update the pricing.
- LOOKS GOOD EVERYWHERE! Responsive Widget layout adjust to your site template and looks good on Desktop and Mobile browsers.
Complementing your product review posts or any mentions of a specific product with a Price Comparison Widgets will boost your overall reader engagement and ultimately the conversion rate to a sale. This will save readers time from doing price comparison research on their own, also it will reduce the possibility of the reader leaving your site to use a search engine to find the lowest price out there and end up clicking through via another channel or possibly another publisher’s link which will cause you to lose the sale.
