Open in browser Journalist's Toolbox Business, Part III: Covering Consumer Retail   May 17, 2022 Mike Reilley May 17 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.
