Etailers Have Upped the Ante with Lowest Price Guarantees
December 4, 2008 by Pablo Palatnik
There is no better time to be a consumer in todays declining economy. With the country currently undergoing a recession, online retailers are doing what they can to keep healthy numbers up and attract more consumers to shop. Especially during the holiday season, competition is a fierce as ever.
Searchers have one thing in mind when shopping this holiday season. PRICE. Searchers are more and more concerned about item prices as budgets for this holiday shopping season are tightening across the board for American families.
The current search volume for the keyword “Coupons” is 11,100,000 with very high advertiser competition and to rank between 1-3, you’re looking at about $1.90 per click.
Let’s take a look at some of the big names online pushing competitive deals and rewarding consumes with low price guarantees and other perks (taken from a press release):
VEGAS.com Best Vegas Rate Guarantee
If you find a rate lower than VEGAS.com’s that is bookable on another publicly available U.S.-based website for the same date(s), same hotel, same room type, and for same number of guests and you notify VEGAS.com within 24 hours after booking your room with us, VEGAS.com will give you double the difference back, up to $150.
Also despite a reeling national economy, the superstar lineup (ie: Fergie, Pete Wentz, Ashlee Simpson, the Kardashians, Kid Rock etc.) scheduled for New Year’s Eve in Las Vegas might well be the biggest and best block party yet and travel sites are betting on Vegas to still be a top destination for NYE’s this year. VEGAS.com (#1 Trusted and Official Site For Vegas) are available for interviews regarding the online spending trends and deals in Vegas for NYE’s….
Vroom Vroom Vroom Price Promise
Within three days of booking a reservation on VroomVroomVroom.com, if you find a lower price elsewhere on the Internet for the same type of vehicle (offer does not apply with Hertz), from the same location and with the same conditions for less than our reservation price we will match the price and give you $10 for your efforts.
If a customer finds a lower price for an identical item offered by another retailer, Oriental Trading will refund them 110% of the difference in price.
Find a lower advertised price from another local store with the same item in stock, and Circuit City will gladly beat their price by 10% of the difference. And if you see a lower advertised price within 30 days of your purchase, they’ll refund 100% of the difference.
For travelers who book and purchase a new ticket at alaskaair.com, horizonair.com or EasyBiz: within 24 hours of completing the purchase, if you find a lower fare of $5 or more (USD) on another Web site for the same flight and itinerary, they will refund the difference and give you a $50 Discount Code for your next Alaska Air or Horizon Air flight purchase.
Their Web site claims “Nobody Beats Our Prices. If any competitor tries, we’ll beat their price by 10%. Guaranteed.”
