Smart Shoppers should Never Search for Deals


They said searching online got easier with time. I was just wondering how? People first made comparative price searches by typing in a search box on their desktops. Then came the laptop, and while folks didn’t tire of counting its benefits, people again found themselves typing searches in search box. Then came tablets and phones that claimed to make the job easy, but oh! It was a pain still typing in a search box. It was even worse, as this time it was on virtual keypads and small screens. Worst hit was online shopping, with virtual keyboard, small screen and no mouse. It made me wonder, can my browser or system be more intelligent while searching? 

Copperpix seems to have jumped to the rescue of people like me. The company started by Apple and Motorola alumni dared to challenge these traditional ways of search. They developed ValueTag, an intuitive application for Indian and US markets that revolutionized the way people search online and in-store for best deals. 

Value Tag is a very useful application that can be used on your smartphone, tablet or desktop (via add-on) to find best deal on every product. You can search for lowest prices and corresponding reviews from all the leading e-commerce sites without having to type ever again to search!

Here’s how it works:

1.       Download the browser add-on from chrome web store or android app from Google Play store or http://valuetagapp.com
2.       Now on browsing your favorite products on online shopping sites, you will see a ‘best price’ tag on the top of the product image.
3.       Click on the tag to view comparative pricing and reviews of same to similar products on various e-shopping sites, along with their links.
4.       The best part is that you can use the product scanner in store to see what other stores has to offer for same product and share the deals with your friends on Facebook.

Three Dimensional Nature of Value Tag

The three dimensional nature of the product provides capability for price comparison on your tablet, smartphone, PC web browser. Let’s have a look.
