Shoptagr is designed to help take online shoppers find the best deals on items, removing the need to sort through promotional or sales ads and emails. And what’s great is that if you’re familiar with Pinterest (which, if you’re into online shopping, then I’m sure you are), then using Shoptagr will be a breeze. You first have to install Shoptagr’s +TAG button (either by dragging it directly to your bookmarks bar or installing the extension on Chrome). From there, you simply browse the way you normally do when you go online shopping, hopping from one retailer to the next. When you find an item that you want, all you have to do to set up an alert is to click on the +TAG button, confirm the details on the item (like the size and color), and then decide at what discount level for which you’d like to get a notification. All of your tagged items are arranged on a Pinterest-style page for you to revisit any time, and you’ll get emails and/or text messages when any of those items go on sale. Shoptagr recently came out of beta, during which they saw more than 40,000 items tracked in less than three months and process more than 20,000 sales alerts. Currently, Shoptagr works on more than 350 online retailers, with more being added regularly. While the company is focused primarily on fashion at the moment, Friedman told me that they eventually want to target the entire lifestyle space, encompassing fashion, beauty, and home & decor. The company is also working on a mobile solution for their platform. Learn more about Shoptagr.
