Shopping Heyday

It is indeed a sad occasion as the king of pop has passed away. I was awake when I captured a couple of tweets, stating that the legendary Michael Jackson has passed away due to a heart attack. I followed up with more information from BBC and also CNN and fox to confirm the same. There were a few hiccups when doctors claimed that Micheal was in a coma and could have survived. Moments later, BBC confirmed with a live video telecast that the king of pop was indeed dead. You can check hits of Michael Jackson from amazon.

Despite many bad remarks and illegal and inappropriate activities, Michael Jackson has always been a great star and he will be one among the greatest artists ever.

God rest your soul!!

Google, the leading search engine used by majority of internet users accounts for more than 80% of the total searches. While google search has already been the trump card with which google mints money, google is rephrasing shopping as a potential channel of making money.

The last time you purchased a product, Did you do a google search?

Now shopping is listed as one among the tabs in the home page. This could mean that google will route you to every store, which in turn means that google will be paid for every sale. Imagine that you search for a external hard drive and you end up with a lot of stores and each link can earn money, like a affiliate commission. This is so much better than searching external hard drive in amazon. It is like searching in all the stores.

Will google product search be a potential money maker? We would bet with a “YES”!!

Thousands of stores are being created online everyday. If you think, these people are redoing stuff over and again, you are wrong. People use the following free and open source software for building websites and online stores.

1. Magento
2. OS Commerce
3. Zen cart

If you are stating a new store, I should point out that the latest software, which is being trusted by any is “Magento”. The software is free for use, and quite easy to manage. The install process is not very easy though.

Magento offers shopping coupons for store owners, you can easily create a store out of the box and create coupons, track coupons, edit them easily using this software. I strongly recommend magento for online store coupon software.

New Dell coupon of 7% discount for laptops and Dell desktops is available right now. Dell discount coupons you have to simply indicate in the “Discount Coupon” during the purchase process in the Dell online store.

All we hear fantastic stories of housewives who can save money by using coupons, but many can not even make the most and as much as we would like.

Coupon is a very effective sales strategy. Curiously this idea was born in the Coca Cola Company in 1887 produced a result formidable. Currently, the coupons have expanded enormously in their use, have been modernized, is expended in various ways and produce extra sales. Coupons can be obtained for free shipping, low prices, free products, 2 × 1, combos etc.

There are several kinds of coupons such as:

* Cut Coupon: in the newspaper, magazines, boxes of goods etc.
* Printable Coupon: Images are ready to print coupons at home and on the internet, websites, e-mail etc.
* E-Coupons: They are on the internet and are coupons that are downloaded directly to frequent buyer cards or Loyalty Cards stores and supermarkets
* Coupon code or promo codes: These codes or sets of numbers that are entered when you check out in your online shopping

In my opinion, coupon codes work good in most cases, since they are easy to pass on from one person to another.

If you are buying an ebook, how would you evaluate the product? Unlike a physical product such as a blu ray disc, which can be measured by terms of picture sharpness, capacity and sound outputs, It is very difficult to measure a value of a book - Some people easily call it priceless.

We will tear apart the priceless tag and label a proper tag with the following parameters and questions.

1. Will you read the book completely? If not, there is no point in buying the book.

2. How much time does it take to read the book? A typical example may be an hour to less than 10 hours. Some books like diet, exercise may be read periodically and may span longer.

3. How much does it cost? I would never buy a book for more than $100. Also I would never buy a book, which is values under $5. The lower price tag means that the value is very low.

4. How much incentive do you get from the information? Does it provide a pitch page, with contents? You should always buy a book which has a pitch page. No pitch page, no buying.

5. Calculate ROI. Return on investment - If I buy the book for $99 and I make $200 with the help of the book, I would call it a very good investment.

I was in Frankfurt, when I suddenly remembered that I did not buy anything for my nephew and I entered a toy store in the airport. I shopped around for a couple of toys and checkout from the store. Here are a few things, you should consider before buying a toy.

1. Age range - you do not want to give a playstation for a 4 year old nor give a monster truck for a 13 year old.

2. Safety - Do not get toys with complicated and small parts for kids.

3. Gender - Barbie is for a girl and Monster trcuk for a boy. Correct ?

4. Battery - Always check if the toy can be operated using a battery and if the battery is of standard size. It will be good, if you can check if rechargeable cells can be used.

5. Warranty - 1 piece out of every 1000 electronics fails. Always check if there is a warranty for the product.

6. Price - I always buy at amazon.com - Since I get very nice deals there.

If you buy a pair of jeans from a store, you have the option to try it. If you do not like it, you may leave the store, without being questioned. However, in a online store, you add things to a cart. The next time you sign into a browser, you see the items in a shopping cart, again!!

A few companies even drop you an email stating that there were items on the cart, which you did not checkout. These kind of marketing strategies is very annoying. I do not want to see 7 emails stating that I did not checkout a pair of jeans. I choose not to checkout!!

Every time, you check out of a store, empty the cart and logout. Store builders, you might want to a add a function to your cart, When the user creates a new session, you might want to empty the cart before adding the first item to the cart.

Amazon kindle is called and hyped as a revolutionary device. It is a wireless reading device, which can subscribe to books, newspapers and blogs online. It has a keyboard too, which can be used to input data when you need to subscribe. The new Kindle DX is the to be released version, with nothing added, but a larger screen.

Unless you read a lot, (4 or more hours everyday) and travel a lot, you do not need this device. Amazon kindle sucks, The idea of a wireless reader sucks. Besides costing you a massive $360 price tag, you have to pay to subscribe to online books. If you subscribe to say 10 books, you are going to be paying $100 or so, since each book is approximately priced at about $9.99!!

I found a excellent gimmick about sony wireless book reader prs700 here, and after reading that you will never buy a wireless book reader, Never!!
