Interested in more product information, or products related to your chosen item? New mouse-over product page display delivers!

TheFind.com has also enhanced its mouse-over page, which appears when you drag your mouse over any product displayed in the results. The mouse-over page now shows all the product specific information at a glance, without the consumer having to click through to another Web site. In addition, mouse-over page also shows shoppers related products, such as a matching purse, shoes, and/or bracelet, which the store also recommends. Finally, merchants have a targeted advertising location at the bottom of the mouse-over to include sale notifications and money-saving coupons, as well as links directly to the retailer’s site.

Making a List, Checking It Twice? MyFinds enhancement adds personalization with simplified shopping list management!

Continuing the quest to deliver the simplest, most comprehensive and personalized shopping experience, TheFind.com will now offer even more search personalization via its newly expanded capabilities of the MyFinds bar. Users will now have their “recent searches,” “recently viewed” items, and “recently saved” items all housed within the MyFinds bar, which serves as a powerful bookmarking tool for busy holiday shoppers. Search now, save items for later. Users can also email items from the items in MyFinds to friends and family, creating a perfect tool for shoppers to share products and lists throughout the holidays.

“Our core belief is that our shopping search engine should give consumers access to the full scope of what is available from all the online stores, but without having to sift through hundreds of search results that don’t fit their needs. We’re continually enhancing this process for shoppers – adding new features, search categories and simple ways for them to share their finds with friends and family,” said Siva Kumar, CEO of TheFind, Inc. “Shopping online is supposed to save time and energy, especially around the holidays, and we’re here to make sure that is always the case when it comes to pinpointing the right products from the right store for each shopper.”
