product pricing and product research tools for consumer research
Business Tools, Part III: Consumer RetailEditor’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.
CamelCamelCamel: This is a free Amazon price tracker and a good alternative to Keepa. Search for some products in Keepa and CamelCamelCamel for practice:
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.
Search shortcuts
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:
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. 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. |
