Congratulations to Owen Smith, who wins the lucky draw prize of a $250 shopping voucher sponsored by The Warehouse. Owen’s name was picked from the 468 people who took part in the 2011 PriceMe User Survey this month. The results will help us get a better understanding of who our users are and what they’re looking for when coming into PriceMe to do their pre-purchase research. We will publish a summary of the survey’s results as soon as we collate them. Many thanks once again to all who participated, it’s really appreciated. The PriceMe Team.

Tired of checking multiple sites for one day deals ? Perhaps you missed a great deal recently because you missed the expiry time? If this has happened to you, then you’ll appreciate ease of finding the best Daily Deals and price drops from the top one day deal sites from all around New Zealand displayed in one convenient place here at PriceMe.

We’re putting all the best deals and discounts from the top 1-day deals’ sites in New Zealand in one place.  Filter by daily deals’ stores or by discount to find exactly the right deal at the right price. You can also sort by time to expiry so you don’t miss a deal because it’s sold out.

The fastest way to find deals is to click on the magnifying glass (upper right on a gallery item). Detailed information about a particular one day sale is then displayed. The information loads instantly, and this is a great way of quickly checking out multiple deals at cheap prices.

The one day deals page is being updated throughout the day whenever new hot, so savvy online shoppers can find the hottest deals and biggest price drops as soon as they’re available.

PriceMe’s one day sales deals section is recently launched. Our goal is to provide you with the convenience of shopping for bargains and cheap products online.  We’re also planning to provide real-time stock information in the near future.

Bookmark this page and check back with us as we add more one day sales sites. If you have any suggestions on how we can improve this service for our community of users, please get in touch with us. We’d love to hear from you.

The subscribers to our shopping newsletter has received our newly designed newsletter today. Please check it out here if you haven’t recieved it already:

http://www.priceme.co.nz/newsletter/december-2009-newsletter.html

PriceMe’s goal has been to create a “product focused” newsletter that highlights 8-10 products that have dropped significantly in price the last seven days.

The latest version contains a broad range of products. We do know that many users are interested only in a specific range of products, and we’ll therefore offer subscribers the choice to set their product category preferences.

Please let us know what you think about the newsletter.

You can now get daily price drops on Twitter. PriceMe has created a PriceMe Shopper account twitter.com/pricemeshopper, where we’ll tweet about products that have dropped in price. Just follow us on Twitter and you will get deals and discount posted directly on Twitter.

The winner of the iPhone competion is… Anita Attwood from Christchurch! Congratulations! PriceMe will post of photo of the winner on the website shortly.

iPhone sales in New Zealand are very strong at the moment. The most popular search term on PriceMe last month was “iphone“. Kiwis like the latest products from Apple, and iPod and Macs are selling well.

PriceMe thanks everyone that participated in the competition and signed up for the newsletter. We plan to launch more competitions in the near future, so it pays to check out the site on a regular basis.
