Congratulations to the Today Show-- today is their 62nd anniversary. The first of its kind, the popular morning talk show was quickly replicated by other networks, and covered national headlines alongside lifestyle features and entertainment news. For example, not too long ago, Matt Lauer and digital expert Mario Armstrong shared apps on the Today Show that save consumers time and money.
"if you’re short on time or could use a little extra cash, your cellphone could hold the solution" said Lauer. Armstrong agreed, and discussed money-saving app, PoachIt.
"About 400 hours or so per year are spent online shopping… help reduce that time!"
An easy-to-download web extension, PoachIt acted as a seamless companion while Armstrong demonstrated shopping online like he normally would. Choosing Macys.com as an example, he explained that he was shopping for a coat to give his wife.
"PoachIt: this is great for saving money if you have a particular item that you’re looking to buy."
"I actually shop like I normally would. I go to Macys.com, or Nordstrom.com, and if I see an item, I hit the PoachIt button. That tracks it and sends me an email alert when the price drops."
Price-tracking is only half of the solution while shopping for the best deal. Coupon codes are another great way to score additional savings. However, after testing and validating millions of coupon codes, PoachIt discovered that 80% of online codes are completely invalid.
Lauer addressed this concern: “One of the major complaints people have when they’re using shopping sites is that the promotional codes don’t work.”
Luckily, PoachIt has invested in proprietary technology that validates coupon codes. Armstrong reiterates: “The coupon codes that show up on the site work.”
The takeaway? “PoachIt.com: attract the items that you really want but a lower price,” says Armstrong.
