As we prepare for our final launch, I thought I should write a post on what we do and why we do it.
Our idea is very simple – When you have decided on a product or list of products to buy, just request a deal with us and we will find you the BEST price including ALL rebates + shipping +tax. And yes, we compare cashback and include it in the price as well.
As many of you would have experienced, there are 2 parts to the shopping process:
- Finding the right product to buy.
- Finding the best price for this product.
Both of these tasks are equally important and difficult. There are many sites to help you solve these problems. For instance, to find the right product there are lots of sites including but not limited to Amazon, Wize, SmartRatings, Retrevo or ProductWiki where you can read reviews, analyze product specs and ultimately try to shortlist one product or a list of products.
Your next task will probably be to find the best price for these shortlisted products so you can ultimately buy one. This is actually a complicated mathematical problem. This is why – Finding the best price involves visiting the following types of sites:
- Comparison shopping sites : These sites help you identify the stores that carry the product. Examples include Shopping.com, ShopZilla.com, PriceGrabber.com etc.
- Coupon sites : These sites provide you coupons that you can use in the stores that you identified in Step 1. Examples include retailmenot.com, couponcabin.com, couponmountain.com etc.
- Casback sites : There are sites that offer you cashback when you make your purchase from the store through them. Examples include Fatwallet, Cashbaq, MrRebates, QuickenPicks etc
- Deal sites : Sometimes there could be deals going on right now for the exact products that you are looking to buy. So it is imperative that you pay a visit to these sites as well. Examples include slickdeals.net, fatwallet.com, techbargains.com
If you are really smart, you will combine : Store Price + Coupon + Cashback + Shipping + Tax to get the final price for EACH and every store and ultimately determine the actual store that carries the product at the best price.
Don’t forget that each Cashback provider provides a different percentage of cashback. So you have to compare the cashback providers as well. You have to also remember that coupons normally donot work on all products. So you have to try all coupons to figure out which one works. And wait a second, we forgot Mail-in-rebates and Gift card rebates. So add that to the combination and you can see the number of combinations you have to deal with. There is no single comparison shopping company that combines ALL of these factors to bring you the FINAL BEST price.
Without further ado, I would like to introduce you to Smazzle.com. Our idea is very simple – Once you have identified the product(s) you want to buy, Just Request a deal for each of them. We have a robust platform that can do all the combinations and ultimately get you the FINAL best price including ALL the rebates + shipping + tax. Infact we show you ALL the combinations and provide you with a robust Filter so you can pick and choose the deal you want. We have a community of deal finders who strive hard to make sure you get the BEST and ACCURATE price. We know time matters and we donot want you to spend any time looking for the best price. Let us do the grunt work for you. Just request a deal.
