Thanksgiving Day Mobile Shopping Search Data Released by TheFind

Thursday, October 27th, 2011

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) November 25, 2011

Even on Thanksgiving Day, many shoppers were using their phones and tablet computers to comparison shop online or simply shop, according to data just released by TheFind. The early store openings by many of the national retailers seem to have helped to bring shoppers in Thursday night as mobile search volumes on TheFind indicated.

Door Busters:

Topping the list of most searched for items on mobile phones and tablets was a 32 inch Samsung LCD screen which typically sells for as much as $ 349.99, and was being offered for $ 279.99, a price matched by several national retailers.

Another top scanned item was a Microsoft Xbox 4GB Kinect bundle, which Amazon was selling at a promotional price of $ 199.99, for which the retailer quickly sold through its stock of discounted units.

Apple iPad and iPod Touch were also highly searched for items with mobile devices. Amazons Kindle Fire did not fare as well in mobile searches, and didnt crack the top 20 most searched for items by mobile shoppers according to TheFind. Though it is in the top 5 most searched for items by online electronics shoppers on TheFind.

Perhaps indicating a trend for the holidays, shoppers appeared to be in the market for accessories to go along with their smartphones and tablet computers, along with games to accompany new or existing gaming consoles.

With a sluggish economy and the lack of a breakout holiday must have gifts, shoppers did take advantage of the early starts to Black Friday. Searches and scans from smart phones indicate that consumers went to stores Thursday evening and night but seem to be trying to keep their gifts below $ 50 thus far, with the exception of items that are priced too low not to buy, such as some of the door buster deals on new TVs and gaming consoles, said Siva Kumar, CEO of TheFind.

Facebook Like Data

In keeping with its tally of Facebook Like data that indicates that the LeapFrog LeapPad Explorer Learning Tablet would be a hot seller, TheFinds actual mobile search data from Thanksgiving Day shows the LeapPad as one of its top searched for toys.

According to TheFind, the top searched for toys and electronics by mobile shoppers on Thanksgiving Day were as follows:

MapMuse Announces Release of 2011 Christmas Lights Locator Website and Accompanying iPhone App

Tuesday, October 11th, 2011


Reston, VA (PRWEB) December 01, 2011

MapMuse today announced the release of its 2011 data update to the Christmas Light Displays locator, a map-based web platform thats designed to give homeowners and other holiday decorators the chance to show off their holiday lights to thousands of internet visitors.

There are so many people out there with truly fantastic light displays, says Michael Pilon, owner of MapMuse. Why should their hard work go unnoticed by everyone but their neighbors? Boasting a rapidly growing, mostly crowdsourced database of over 800 homes and other venuesincluding public light shows and festivalsthe map allows holiday decorators to geotag their displays, as well as upload links, photos, contact details, and helpful background information. iPhone users can also download a free mobile version of the Christmas Light Displays locator from the iTunes App store.

MapMuse, an internet and app development company based out of Reston, Virginia, has a long history of creating seasonal maps for the general public. As the winter holiday season rolls around each year, they launch data updates to around a dozen Christmas-themed locator web maps, ranging from Mall Santas to Sleigh Rides to Pie Shops. We do our best to get accurate data for each business or event, says Pilon. Nobody wants to bring their kid to Mall Santa only to find out his run at the mall ended two weeks ago. The same can be said for new submissions to the Christmas Light Displays locator, which are a vetted for authenticity and accuracy before going live on the map (although the onus is on the decorators to update details about their old displays). Users are also encouraged to suggest corrections and additions to pre-existing listings, as well as submit reviews and additional photos.

The Christmas Light Displays map can be accessed at http://find.mapmuse.com/interest/xmas-displays. A link to other Christmas-themed maps is available on the same page. iPhone and iPod Touch owners can download the free Christmas Light Displays locator app at http://www.mapmuse.com/christmaslights, where theyll find links to other seasonal apps, including the Winter Fun Locator (a map of sledding, skating, and skiing venues across the country).
