ShopSavvy Helps Holiday Consumers Take Advantage of Earlier Black Friday Deals and Price Matching Policies for 'Seamless' Shopping Experience

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- WHAT: The latest release of ShopSavvy, the No. 1 mobile shopping application, is designed to help consumers identify the best Black Friday offers, leverage price matching policies and have a seamless shopping experience. ShopSavvy can save consumers money and time while showing them new products.

HOW IT WORKS: Enter a product name or scan a barcode and ShopSavvy indicates where the item can be found cheapest locally or online. The app walks users through various stores' price-matching policies to show shoppers how to get the best price without having to make a trip to a different store.

The ShopSavvy Deals tab contains a stream of special offers, promotions and coupons. The new release features millions of additional products, a social shopping feed system, Featured Lists and the ability to share products and lists through Facebook, Gmail and other social tools.

2013 Trends:

Earlier Black Friday deals. Big-box retailers are opening stores on Thanksgiving. Earlier offers with complicated markdown schedules make it more important than ever to use ShopSavvy and find the best deals.

Price-matching policies. ShopSavvy makes price matching easy by arming shoppers with proof that the product is cheaper at a competitor's store. Just show an employee the difference and they'll most likely match it.

Seamless shopping. Online, in-store and mobile retail initiatives are coming together to meet consumer demand for a seamless shopping experience. ShopSavvy partners Nordstrom, Target and Best Buy are considered the best retailers in providing a seamless experience. 

WHO: ShopSavvy's co-creator, John Boyd, is available for phone, satellite or in-person interviews. Interviews or app demos with ShopSavvy users in DMAs nationwide are available.

WHERE: A price-comparison/shopping segment can be coordinated at a local Walmart or Best Buy.
