Thanksgiving Day Mobile Shopping Search Data Released by TheFind

Thanksgiving Day Mobile Shopping Search Data Released by TheFind











San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) November 25, 2011

Even on Thanksgiving Day, many shoppers were using their phones and tablet computers to comparison shop online or simply shop, according to data just released by TheFind. The early store openings by many of the national retailers seem to have helped to bring shoppers in Thursday night as mobile search volumes on TheFind indicated.

Door Busters:

Topping the list of most searched for items on mobile phones and tablets was a 32 inch Samsung LCD screen which typically sells for as much as $ 349.99, and was being offered for $ 279.99, a price matched by several national retailers.

Another top scanned item was a Microsoft Xbox 4GB Kinect bundle, which Amazon was selling at a promotional price of $ 199.99, for which the retailer quickly sold through its stock of discounted units.

Apple iPad and iPod Touch were also highly searched for items with mobile devices. Amazon’s Kindle Fire did not fare as well in mobile searches, and didn’t crack the top 20 most searched for items by mobile shoppers according to TheFind. Though it is in the top 5 most searched for items by online electronics shoppers on TheFind.

Perhaps indicating a trend for the holidays, shoppers appeared to be in the market for accessories to go along with their smartphones and tablet computers, along with games to accompany new or existing gaming consoles.

“With a sluggish economy and the lack of a breakout holiday “must have” gifts, shoppers did take advantage of the early starts to Black Friday. Searches and scans from smart phones indicate that consumers went to stores Thursday evening and night but seem to be trying to keep their gifts below $ 50 thus far, with the exception of items that are priced too low not to buy, such as some of the door buster deals on new TVs and gaming consoles,” said Siva Kumar, CEO of TheFind.

Facebook Like Data

In keeping with its tally of Facebook Like data that indicates that the LeapFrog LeapPad Explorer Learning Tablet would be a hot seller, TheFind’s actual mobile search data from Thanksgiving Day shows the LeapPad as one of its top searched for toys.

GetGreenTurf.com Professional Turf Community Web Site Launches

GetGreenTurf.com Professional Turf Community Web Site Launches











GetGreenTurf.com


Loveland, CO (PRWEB) November 04, 2011

GetGreenTurf.com, a new professional turf community Web site launched today, offering turf professionals from both the landscape and golf markets a completely customizable community to learn and share green industry best practices.

“GetGreenTurf.com is a brand-new and unique on-line resource that offers lawn care operators and other landscape professionals the opportunity to find out what their industry peers are doing, and how they’re meeting and overcoming the same challenges,” said Marty Grunder, President of Grunder Landscaping Inc., “The approach behind GetGreenTurf.com is unique, and I strongly believe in the value of the online community the Web site offers turf professionals in both the LCO and golf markets.”

A large part of the strategy surrounding the development of GetGreenTurf.com has been around information, and the move towards fresh, current and user-contributed content. To that end, Grunder, a respected motivational speaker and green industry expert, will be contributing a new column to the site monthly in addition to the authenticated, user-populated content.

“GetGreenTurf.com offers a number of great tips and techniques that can be applied across almost any green industry setting to help users grow their business,” said Grunder “That’s one of the big benefits of GetGreenTurf.com – the site not only offers best practice ideas on how to grow green, but also how to earn it at the same time!”

GetGreenTurf.com has been designed to allow peers to share best practices with peers through dynamic, user-authenticated forums. Once fully launched, the site’s interactive functionality will facilitate the green industry community coming together online to share knowledge and grow.

Another unique feature of the site is the ability for the end-user to self-select their experience on GetGreenTurf.com, either from an LCO or a golf perspective. Once a path is selected, the end-user is presented with a series of columns and articles designed especially for their perspective, written by their peers, and allowed the opportunity to join discussion forums with the content most applicable to them.

“So much of the professional turf industry is universal,” said Grunder. “But so much is not. There are specific differences in knowledge base, budgetary constraints, client perspective and on and on between the various facets of the green industry. GetGreenTurf.com is unique in that golf superintendents will find it as useful as LCOs, and vice versa.”

In its launch phase, each user who signs up to participate on GetGreenTurf.com will be entered to win one of two Apple iPad® 2s.

“Every user who signs up to participate in the GetGreenTurf.com community will be eligible to win an iPad 2,” said Grunder. “The iPad 2 is a great tool to view the mobile-optimized GetGreenTurf.com.”

The Apple iPad 2 promotion closes November 30. Full sweepstakes rules can be found at GetGreenTurf.com/sweepstake-rules.html.
