itemize.com – A New Way to Shop Online
posted by Andrea | 08/13/2011Up until about a year ago, I never really did any shopping online {except for Craigslist!} But that all changed this past year.
I don’t know if it’s because I finally realized how much time {and money} I can save by shopping online, or if it’s because I have a bunch of Swagbucks and Amazon.com credit to use up — but seriously, shopping online is just SO convenient!
If you share my passion for online shopping, then I’m sure you’ll be extremely interested to learn about a new website I recently came across – itemize.com.
What is itemize.com?
?
Itemize is the first ever personal shopping agent — kind of like your best friend or your sister — but for online shopping!
Itemize.com lets you focus on the parts of shopping that you truly love the most. It saves you time and money, while giving you insights that help you become a much smarter shopper.
What does itemize.com do?
?
Itemize.com tracks and organizes all of your itemized purchase receipts (digital and in-store) in one secure, private location so you won’t ever lose one again!
It rewards you for sharing your favorite deals and purchased items with your friends.
However, the coolest function {at least for me} is that Itemize.com finds you the deals, sales, and special offers that are MOST relevant to you — based on your shopping DNA. {see photo below} It actually remembers the purchases you make and the items you shop for and then makes sure you know when there are special deals and discounts for those type of items.
How does itemize.com work?
?
I know you can’t really read the words in the picture above, but it’s actually a picture of one shopper’s “Shopping DNA” for one month. The colored tabs across the top are different categories of online shopping — Health and Beauty, Baby and Kids, Women’s Clothing, Outdoor, Office Supplies, Home Decor, etc. etc.
Then the bubbles on the graph depict how much that shopper spends in each specific category for every purchase they make during that month. This makes it really easy to compare how much you’re spending in certain categories from month to month {great for those of us with budgets!}
So based on your specific shopping DNA, itemize.com can then make sure the most relevant deals, sales, and special offers are brought to your attention — via email or whatever other way you choose to be notified.
What is MY favorite itemize.com feature?
?
Honestly, the thing I’m loving the MOST about itemize.com is that I no longer have to search and search to find the best deal because itemize.com does that for me…and then just notifies me when the deal is available.
Talk about a HUGE time {and money} saver!
How can you sign up for itemize.com?
?
Itemize.com is completely free to use, all you have to do is sign up here — and start shopping!
Once you sign up, you will be able to pick your shopping preferences from a variety of options {see photo below}
