Holiday Bargains: PriceGrabber.com® Price Alerts Help Shoppers Get the Price They Want

Los Angeles, Calif., Oct. 28, 2009 — PriceGrabber.com®, a part of Experian, has more than 23 million different consumers visiting its site monthly to search and compare information on millions of products. The Price Alert feature, found on PriceGrabber.com, allows shoppers to set the price they want to pay for a product. Once the product reaches this price, an e-mail alert is sent notifying the shopper of the price drop. Online retailers constantly change their prices to stay competitive. Price Alerts enable consumers to get the price they want without checking retailer prices every day.

Setting a Price Alert is easy and decreases the time spent shopping around at brick-and-mortar stores. Watch the PriceGrabber.com how-to video or follow these three easy steps to set your Price Alert:

  • Go to http://www.PriceGrabber.com and find your favorite product
  • Select “Add Price Alert” to log in or create an account and then set your target price
  • Wait for an e-mail alerting you that your product reached your desired price

“Saving money is even more imperative to consumers this holiday season. Through the PriceGrabber.com Holiday Forecast Consumer Behavior Report, we learned that 70 percent of our consumers are doing more research and comparison shopping online before buying a holiday gift,” said Laura Conrad, president of PriceGrabber.com. “Price Alerts make it easier for customers to stay within their budgets and still get everything on their gift list.”
