Target Price Matching Is Back
 | Have you heard? Target is going to be continuing their online price matching policy permanently!
Target had unimpressive holiday sales, they partly blame this on "showrooming." What is showrooming? It's when a potential customer goes into a store just to check out a product, actually see or touch it. But, they don't buy it in the store. Instead, they go online using their phone at the store or online at home to search the web for the best price. Maybe this practice did impact Target's sales and possibly other retailers. Consumers have the upper hand when comparing prices now. We can find anything we're looking for with a simple Google search. Guess which company benefited the most from showrooming. That's right....Amazon.com. |
To continue competing with online stores, the online price matching policy will stay in place for good. The online stores Target accepts for price matching are Amazon.com, Wal-Mart.com, BestBuy.com, ToysRUs.com and BabiesRUs.com.
Price matching is easy to do. If your shopping in Target and find something you like, you can go online using your phone or other electronic device. Search for that product on the sites listed, if you find a better price for it, you can get it for that price! To claim your price match from the online store, you have to do the transaction at the Guest Services desk only. You have to show Guest Services the price you found, they confirm it and you get a deal. Regular check-out lines do not do price matching.
The next time your in Target take the time to some online searching, you could save big!
