    Pronto.com - More Products - Lower Prices

    Love bargain hunting? Bargains are everywhere, but you need to look for them. Stores usually don’t advertise their outlet sections because they want you to pay retail prices.

    One of the best ways of finding really low prices on general products is to check bargain hunting sites like Pronto. It’s a product search engine that covers a great product selection so you can find the lowest prices every time you shop. Pronto’s search covers electronics, apparel, books-music-videos, baby products, sports equipment, home and garden, flowers, gifts, health and beauty, office supplies, jewelry, pet products, tools, hardware-software and more. But Pronto also includes items typically unavailable through other shopping search engines, such as out-of-season and less popular items carried by major retailers. Pronto is also available as a browser plug-in that allows you to shop your favorite retail websites and receive real-time messages about the products you are viewing so you don’t overpay for an item. When in use, you will receive price alerts, similar to instant messages, notifying you when an item you are viewing is available elsewhere for less money. You may also receive alerts directing you to comparable products at equal or lower prices. If you download the Shopping Messenger you’ll also receive exclusive access to coupons at popular merchant sites, delivered instantly when you shop.

    Pronto.com In their own words

    “Pronto.com, an operating business of IAC, is the most comprehensive comparison shopping service available on the Web. Consumers using Pronto.com can now find and compare prices for over 55 million products from over 60,000 merchants in an unbiased and easy to use display. Most other comparison shopping engines only display products from paying advertisers - products that they receive in data feeds directly from those merchants. Pronto.com, in contrast, deploys a patent pending technology to scour the Web and bring consumers every possible option of where to buy a product from all qualified merchants. This technology, developed by a team of scientists renowned in the fields of data mining, artificial intelligence and decision theory, also allows Pronto.com to structure and organize the product information for fast and easy comparison.”

    Why Pronto.com might be a killer

    Pronto seems just another price comparison site. But unlike other sites that only show products from stores that pay them, Pronto shows you all the products from every store that they find on the web. Besides, Pronto alerts you while shopping online if it can find the same product for a lower price on another shopping site. Pronto has a huge potential audience since ecommerce is hot and will continue to grow.

    Some questions about Pronto.com

    Pronto has entered a competitive and crowded market, with so many places for consumers to get shopping information. Consumers will probably ask: who can be trusted in the shopping comparison Website space? Will Pronto be able to take a significant share of the shopping market?
