product pricing and product research tools for consumer research

 


Business Tools, Part III: Consumer Retail

Editor’s note: This is the third chapter in a three-part series on tools and tips for covering business stories.

The holidays are still several months away, but it’s never too early to start looking for a great price on a gift, right? In all seriousness, there are many tools online that can help reporters cover consumer retail any time of year.

Keepa: Tracks Amazon product price history. You can download the data directly or view it in a line chart. It’s free to use but a $189 annual/$19 monthly subscription gets more data access (a daily quota) and is well worth the cost if you’re tracking prices online.

CamelCamelCamel: This is a free Amazon price tracker and a good alternative to Keepa.

Search for some products in Keepa and CamelCamelCamel for practice:

  • 32-inch 3-series Roku TV

  • Adidas men’s Adilette shower slides

  • Sennheiser HD 25 SE monitor headphones

Google Shopping: Search for the products below and use the filters down the left side of the interface to narrow down the type of product you want and where you want it from. It’s excellent for comparing prices at local stores to the chains and online sellers.

  • ​​Ashley Tallenger Counter Height Bar Stool

  • Samsung 32-inch TV

Search shortcuts
A few basic Google search operators can be helpful in digging up product information on websites. A couple of examples:

  • Search within a site for a topic: Type this into Google.com and you’ll get a robust search result for the product: site:amazon.com Blink Outdoor Camera

  • Search for a file format/topic: Type this into Google.com and you’ll get datasets on US footwear CPI: filetype: .csv US footwear consumer price index

  • Search for a price in Google: ​​camera $400

  • Search for a price range in Google : camera $500..$800

Find a full list of search shortcuts/operators and use Google Advanced Search to narrow the search for a product.

Google Dataset Search also can be helpful in finding consumer retail datasets. Just type the term into the search field. Try out these terms:

  • US footwear consumer price index

  • Retail price breakdown of Nike Air Jordan shoes 2015

Google Trends: Use Trends to see what people are searching for on Google and Google Shopping. It’s an effective tool for covering Black Friday, Super Bowl ads, etc.

Fact-Checking Retail

Lustre is a free, Webby-award-winning product search engine that automatically compares products, prices, and gathers trustworthy reviews in one place. The Chrome extension works on Amazon, so you can see independent product reviews, rather than just random people’s comments. Handy on Black Friday or anytime you’re overwhelmed with options.

FakeSpot.com helps you spot and avoid products with dishonest reviews and scam websites for free with Fakespot for Chrome, Firefox, iOS and Android. The tool uses AI technology to track down the shady sellers.
