Price Shopping? Competition is at Your Finger Tips
I used to mourn Google's decision to discontinue Froogle, the shopping search engine. In the last year, however, I have found that ShopWiki.com is a better alternative for comparison shopping on the web. For each category, it features buying guides, as well as the typical price comparisons on items that you would expect.
A little known secret is that many shopping guides only include shops that have paid for placement. On the contrary, ShopWiki.com crawls the entire web.
A highly competitive sales category for retailers is women's clothing. The guide for the category includes such subjects as building a wardrobe, following trends in the magazines, and eco fashion which is a hot and building category. Anna Cohen is one designer/clothing company that uses organic cotton in a highly fashionable way.
I just learned today from the ShopWiki guide that only 14% of clothing is recycled This includes both repurposing old clothes (reusing materials) and donating them so someone else can wear them. I thought that number would be much higher. That is a big eye opener for me!
