Although they are facing numerous setbacks in terms of global supply chain problems and labor shortage due to the pandemic, they still have managed to surpass them at an acceptable level. Another reason for sellers to kick start their offers at an early stage is due to low inventory levels in their warehouses and shipping delays due to setbacks in the global shipment of resources.

Price Tracking

With millions of sellers already having watered their horses, almost all of them have stepped up into this race to reach out to give customers the best value for their money. You will surely find in each platform that prices are going down by a significant margin with no breathing space being given to each of the competitors. Although one might not consider this as a problem as everywhere you go, you’ll see prices are lower than ever. Even if you are a little early into the holiday season, you’ll be happy to buy almost anything right now. The burning question however is from where to buy?

This has led to the introduction of online price tracking; a mechanism used to screen the internet for filtering out the best options in terms of price for the item-in-demand. One of the most prominent providers of this service is PriceBlink that navigates the user towards the cheapest buying option across numerous sellers. It also helps track the recent discounts available and price reductions on various items.

It is not just PriceBlink, the global leader in E-Commerce, Amazon has a rather unique system of price tracking. In addition to tracking products giving the best value to your pocket, it alerts consumers of any sale being featured on their wishlist in Amazon. You just have to keep filling your wishlist with every other thing on which you’ve had your eye on and then remain informed automatically.

Price Matching

One of the latest marketing tactics being employed by retailers, especially the big ones. Price matching is when a retailer offers insurance to buyers for a product contingent to a better deal available by the competitor. It is almost like a Put and Call options being administered in real estate and stock markets. 

This has prevented customers from hassling throughout different shopping locations surveying for prices as you can buy from the same retailer with the similar price. However, some might even attach certain conditions towards this facility. The price matching could be made limited to only the selected or handful of competitors or when the item would be in stock. You can especially buy these options from large retailers such as Walmart, Target or BestBuy.

However, we would always recommend to have some research before you avail this option as there might be a case of a simple collusion by a number of competitors.
