The Best Price Gun for Your Business
Price guns are hugely popular with retailers of all shapes and sizes, from small mom-and-pop shops to large corporations. But which is the best price gun for your business? There's a wide range of options out there, so let's have a look at what's available and which one is right for you.
1. Amazon Prime Price Comparison Tool
Amazon has a price comparison tool that enables shoppers to see the prices of different products before adding them to their shopping cart. This low-cost alternative is a great one for shoppers looking for brands they've never tried, sizes they're unfamiliar with, etc.
Amazon Prime members can put bands and tags on items for free for up to 14 days, which means you can size up items without incurring additional costs. Plus, if you purchase any products from the same day they're added to your shopping cart, Amazon will throw in free delivery.
2. AliExpress.com Price Comparison
The online version of a popular ecommerce company may not be the most attractive. It looks like someone has added a free pizza in the middle of your page. Yet you can get many similar products from AliExpress — including many from popular brands — at a much lower price.
You can order from various countries, with restrictions for specific ingredient types. When they're imported from China, you'll find everything ground to powder. Here are a few ingredients you won't find in the grocery store: ground coffee grounds, evaporated cane juice, rice syrup, xanthan gum and syrup of citric acid.
3. Walmart.com Price Comparison Tool
Unlike Amazon and AliExpress, Walmart does offer a price comparison tool but the result isn't always as attractive. You'll see strangely shaped items priced at double the price of what they actually are.
Here are some items I found with what appeared to be manufacturer markup. When the price was tweaked to cover U.S. postage costs, I adjusted the numbers to be more accurate, but still, it's pretty strange.
4. MyLocalPrice.com
Another popular online option, MyLocalPrice.com lets you compare prices on hundreds of products from hundreds of different retailers, including big box stores like Costco and Sam's Club. It does have some serious limitations — you can only compare multiple purchases from the same location at a time, and there is no guarantee you'll get the exact product you want. Plus, it looks like it was inspired by the price comparison tools from Amazon.
5. GroBurger.com
Why would anyone choose to shop at a fast food place when you could get a meal for just $7.70? Gro Burger lets consumers compare prices on a wide range of foods, and offers different methods for delivery. Members can get a free burger (or almost any other food item) anytime in 22 different cities using a customized online cart.
If you’re looking to make use of the latest iPad and can’t stomach a larger computer, there’s no better price gun than the AmazonBasics 20. It’s a dual-core, iPad-optimized Windows laptop that weighs just over two pounds and packs a big punch: up to 2.4 GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor (with a choice of 2.3, 2.9 or 3.0GHz Intel Core i9 processors), up to 16 GB of DDR4 RAM and 2 TB of SSD storage — all equipped with dual USB-C charge-coupling ports, an RJ-45 Wi-Fi connection, and an HD webcam.
All this comes in at a cool $1,319.99, which should cover pretty much any budget you’re looking to get into Apple devices.
There’s nothing better than buying accessories for your product, and there is no better value at Amazon. With so many categories and options, it can be overwhelming, but AmazonBasics has one of the widest range of prices and style options to choose from.
Depending on what operating system you’re running, you can choose from the third-party app store, so you don’t even need to deal with the Amazon Appstore if you’d prefer. The AmazonBasics 20 is available for Windows, macOS, iOS, Android and there are nice tablet-optimized flavors as well.
So there’s a lot of options here, making this a good choice for businesses on the go (and also those just starting out), small businesses that just want a laptop for short periods, and for developers looking for more devices.
You won’t find any fancy bells and whistles here like Android apps or Netflix, but the included 16 GB of SSD storage and the iPad-optimized OS makes this a solid budget option for most.
Gigabyte supplies inexpensive gaming laptops (and to be fair, there might even be a budget FireCuda model out there some day) in the form of the XMG U7. In addition to a AMD itty-bitty quad-core AMD Ryzen 3 processor (with a choice of an Intel Core i5 or i7), up to 32 GB of DDR4 memory, a 500 GB hard drive and an AMD Radeon Pro 5500 graphics card headroom, you are also getting a small, compact design that only takes up less than a pound and a half of space, making this a great choice for anyone looking for a powerful portable gaming rig.
The specs are similarly impressive, boasting a 2.7 GHz quad-core Intel Core i7 processor (with an option of a 3.2 or 4.0GHz option), up to 16 GB of DDR4 RAM (which can be expanded with an additional 128 GB SSD) and up to 1 TB of SSD storage.
