    shopsavvy android download ShopSavvy for Android. Save time with this database of products and prices. With most major retailers on-board, finding the best price is easier than you think. Scan the product you want and let the program do the rest. Fast and easy to use. ShopSavvy has the potential to make long rides for great deals obsolete. You can compare pricing at any time across a range of products and stores. All it takes is a quick scan of the barcode on the product you’re interested in. The app will do the rest. With the vast majority of major retail stores on board, your screen is populated with every place with the same product and its respective price. The smart tool has a built-in QR code reader; all you have to do is allow the application to access your phone's camera. One of the features that need to be looked into on the platform is the ability to click through to a store’s online site. There are no links to the shop next to the product, making it difficult to make a quick purchase online if you so desire. The searches can take a long time to run. If you’re pressed for time, this can add some frustration to the process. A lack of updated prices is another setback. When it’s finally time to make a purchase, you’ll likely find out that an item is a few dollars more expensive than you’d thought. This makes it almost impossible to use this app on a budget.

  • Merry Mobile Shopping: I Want It, I Want It Now, and I’M Not Afraid to Use This Mobile Device!
    November 15, 2013 Merry mobile shopping: I want it, I want it now, and I’m not afraid to use this mobile device! by Darrell Rigby, Kris Miller, Josh Chernoff and Suzanne Tager Fifty million more mobile devices will be in the hands of shoppers this holiday season, and those tablet- and smartphone-toting customers will be browsing, comparing, sharing and buying on the go in record numbers. Retailers too will take advantage of the power of mobile to attract customers and convert sales in new and innovative ways. This issue is all about mobile: how device types and sales are increasing, how mobile is transforming shopping behaviors and how retailers are innovating to capture consumers’ attention. We also recap recent sales results, which are mixed but continue to suggest growth for this holiday season. Retail indicators continue to suggest growth this holiday season The most recent sales numbers are positive heading into the holiday season. The International Council of Shopping Centers estimates that October same-store sales (excluding gasoline and sales in drug stores) were 1 up 5.7% in October versus 3.6% in September. Additionally, consumers’ wallets continue to get fatter: • The S&P 500 Index increased 4.5% since October 1, and is up 21% since the beginning of 2013. • US employers added 204,000 jobs in October, well above the 125,000 jobs economists expected. The Department of Labor also revised estimates of August and September hiring up by 60,000 jobs. However, retailers have mixed expectations heading into the holiday season. While Macy’s is expecting higher fourth quarter sales, Walmart forecasts flat sales and Kohl’s is expecting lower fourth quarter sales growth.
