| Pikimal Names Top Black Friday ProductsThe Decision Engine Aims to Keep Quality in Consumers’ Minds During the Shopping Holiday
By: Pikimal, LLC Some consumers are deciding to stay home and shop online or wait until Cyber Monday, when many online retailers offer their lowest prices of the year. Whether headed into the crowds or the living room, the focus for most consumers is solely on price when considering these deals. Quality and other important features are forgotten in the rush. Nothing is worse than buyer’s regret when the realization hits that the new flat screen was a bargain, but lacks the picture quality considered standard in most televisions. Pikimal aims to help consumers make smart decisions on Black Friday by compiling the best products from many of its popular categories, including electronics and housewares. The best products on Pikimal are not ranked based on brand-name or popularity, but by combining millions of facts with user preferences in order to objectively recommend the best products available. Members of the Pikimal site specify what criteria and factors relating to each topic are most important to them, such as battery life and map updates for GPS devices. The rankings are then created using a special algorithm that compares the factual data against these user preferences. What is notable about Pikimal’s approach is that it does not restrict the site to providing only one generalized top ten, but allows for the quick generation of “best lists” based on any number of features. Looking for these items during the Black Friday craze will ensure that consumers get great deals, and just as importantly, great products.
