TrackIf Knows What Consumers Want: Top Four Electronic Gifts

MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Now that Black Friday is only a memory and Cyber Monday begins, more than 200,000 overwhelmed consumers have turned to a free web tool called TrackIf to track the best, lowest prices on everything from toys to electronics.  TrackIf works similarly to Pinterest, but instead of simply "pinning" or sharing things, TrackIf has the ability to track and alert users if the merchandise they want drops in price, hits target prices, is back in stock or has special offers like free shipping.

So what products are consumers tracking coming out of the busy shopping weekend and into Cyber Monday? As of this morning, the most tracked electronic gifts are:

1. HDTVs:  4,798 people are tracking these, with Samsung leading the pack.   32" TVs are the most tracked, followed by 50" TVs.
2. XBOX 360 Bundles:  2,926 people tracking
3. Apple iPad 2:  2,897 people tracking
4. Kindle Paperwhite:  2,100 people tracking

"There were wild fluctuations on many of these products through the weekend," said Doug Berg, Founder and Chief Tracker of TrackIf.  "TV prices on Target.com changed an average of 21 percent while TV prices at BestBuy.com fluctuated an average of 37.9 percent."
