A follow up: so how can we stop hurricanes?
Submit a link to a product you want, the price it currently is, and the price you want it for--we'll run a search for you, for as long as you want. And we'll send you a link to the best deal we find, no strings attached.
Background of the idea: Search is at the heart of our everyday lives. But there is such a thing as annoying searches. Think about when you want a certain product but it is too expensive. You probably try all the different websites that sell that product but then realize you will have to do this everyday to see if the price comes down. It is annoying and quite frankly, a waste of your time.
We're trying to solve this problem and perform these searches for you. Any and all feedback to the website, service, or anything else would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance :)
My issue is not a matter of who I am targeting but how to get to them. I am initially targeting shoe-buyers and electronics-buyers. These people usually don't need that product RIGHT AWAY but still want it. They generally experience a ton of frustration trying to find a good deal because there are simply too many websites to search through, and they must do this everyday to get the price they want. We want to solve this frustration and perform the searches for people over a pre-determined period of time. I just finished building it yesterday and though rough, it's ready to go.
So now the big question, how do I get to more of these users so I can ask them to try us out? Any and all suggestions/feedback would be greatly appreciated.
