US wholesale prices fell 0.2 percent in April - Yahoo Finance
WASHINGTON (AP) -- U.S. wholesale prices fell in April, reflecting a big decline in gas and energy costs. But outside that drop, inflation was tame.
The Labor Department says the producer price index, which measures price changes before they reach the consumer, dropped 0.2 percent in April. It was the first decline since December and the biggest drop since October.
Excluding volatile food and energy costs, the so-called core index rose 0.2 percent.
For the 12 months that ended in April, wholesale prices have risen just 1.9 percent, the smallest 12-month change since October 2009.
Modest wholesale inflation reduces pressure on manufacturers and retailers to raise prices. That helps keep consumer prices stable.
Gas prices spiked earlier this year. But they have dropped 5 percent since peaking last month.

CTS Wholesale Sunglasses Launches Customer Reviews Website - Consumer Electronics Net
May 31, 2012 --
(PRWEB) May 31, 2012
Ecommerce vendors are increasingly embracing social media and CTS Wholesale has launched its customer reviews website to collect customer feedback and testimonials. They already have a Facebook page and a blog to keep in touch with their customers and fans.
It is now common knowledge that Internet is no more a one-way medium where the business owners would show their product range and customers would buy. Now users are actively voicing their opinion about the different brands and also checking others' comments before taking a final buying decision. Therefore companies need to be in touch with their most precious asset, customers. Customer reviews websites help the companies to collect these testimonials in an organized fashion and display these to help their prospects move towards the buying decision with confidence.
"We love to carry out a constant dialog with our customers and our social media activities are a reflection of this policy. We started with a blog to share marketing tips and new product information with our small business customers. Then we launched a Facebook page to interact with them even more closely. And now we have opened another channel where they can share their good and bad experiences with us," shared Kirk Bachelder, owner of CTS Wholesale.
CTS operates an online ecommerce portal where people can buy wholesale sunglasses, wholesale hats and oil based lighters with a large selection of designs. This site is very user friendly and has provision for toll-free numbers and live online chat to help the customers with any questions they may have about the products, shipping or returns.
Actively monitoring the online media helps business owners research the in-demand products and understand the consumer psyche which enables them to launch just what the market needs. This results in ready acceptance of their products by the early and later stage buyers. CTS regularly announces coupon codes and special discounts through the social channels for a little extra profit to the people who stay connected with the company.
"The reviews website helps us listen to our customers and learning about their good experience in dealing with us motivates us to provide an even better service next time. We also get to know if someone has faced any problem and we can set things right and resolve the customer's issues quickly thereby improving the overall satisfaction level," said Kirk. "Those who leave us a review are also rewarded by a surprise bonus," added Kirk.
CTS offers wholesale replica sunglasses, sunglass accessories and sales tools like display stands, which can be bought online and sold at malls, exhibitions and other retail markets. With a fantastic profit potential, selling sunglasses has become an attractive proposition for several people who want to run their own small retail business. CTS is a leading online wholesaler of such products. Those testing the waters can buy as little as 1 dozen, while there is a provision for large commercial level wholesale packs for those with an established outlet.
The store has a convenient ordering process, facility to pay with a credit card and same day shipping resulting in pleasant online shopping experience. Toll-free numbers in both USA and UK allow the customers to get their questions answered in real time.

Google to Overhaul Shopping Service, Introduce Purely Commercial Model - Mashable
The shift, to be completed this fall, is designed to “make it easier to research purchases, compare different products, their features and prices, and then connect directly with merchants to make their purchase,” according to a blog post from the company.
Google is calling the new experience Google Shopping. Confusingly, a tab called Google Shopping already exists, but when you click on it, it leads to Product Search. Product Search is a mix of paid and unpaid placements. Google Shopping will consist of all paid placements, which is based on bids that retailers send via a constant feed. (However, search results for products will also include purely organic results below the top and right side of the page.) The change will give consumers better search results, says Sameer Samat, vp-product management at Google. It may also add to Google’s revenue stream.
As an example of the changes in store, Google provided the following image for Product Search as it currently appears:
Here is how Google Shopping will look this fall:
As illustrated, the major change is the product ads vs. “product universal,” Google’s term for organic results that it had highlighted the same way.
Another change is for more specific queries. In this case, while the searches above were for “tents,” the following is for “marmot limelight 2p.”
In addition to those changes, Google is rolling out Google Trusted Stores, a program it quietly introduced in April that takes into account reviews, shipping times and other factors to give Google’s seal of approval to merchants. While that program may help level the playing field with eBay, the overall changes to Google Shopping appear to be a bigger threat to Amazon.
In December, The Wall Street Journal reported that Google was in talks with major retailers about a new service that would add cheap 24-hour shipping to Product Search. Google would oversee the shipping feature, which would show whether stores have a product in stock and can deliver it within a day. The program might involve the United Parcel Service and local courier services, according to the WSJ.
Samat declined to comment on that report.

Shopping around too tiring? Use smartphone - Yahoo Finance
Melanie Sheridan doesn't do much shopping these days without her smartphone. As a work-at-home mother and the creator of the blog "Mel, A Dramatic Mommy," Sheridan says she relies heavily on her phone to organize her household shopping and keep a close eye on her spending.
"I've been on a serious mission to slash our grocery budget," says Sheridan, who lives with her husband and son in San Diego. "Now that I've got an iPhone, I told my husband it will start paying for itself in terms of savings."
Tech-savvy, price-conscious consumers have hundreds of mobile phone applications to choose from. Sheridan says she's shaved about $50 off her family's monthly grocery bill by using a combination of five different smartphone shopping apps. Sometimes the savings come from something as simple as making a list and sticking to it. But she says the real household budget help comes from smartphone apps for comparing prices.
Apps take legwork out of comparing prices
Amazon Price Check is one of Sheridan's go-to apps for retail items because it allows her to see if better prices are available online while she's shopping in a store. She scans item barcodes with her phone's camera or types product names into the app's search bar to compare the store's prices to those offered by Amazon and its merchants.
ShopSavvy, Google Shopper and eBay's RedLaser are comparison-shopping apps that work in similar fashion but show prices charged for a particular item across the Internet and at other local stores.
If you're having trouble finding a store selling what you're looking for, apps such as Goodzer can help you source almost any consumer item, whether it's available at a chain store or local mom-and-pop shop.
The Consumer Reports Mobile Shopper allows you to instantly compare prices from both online merchants and local brick-and-mortar stores, plus it shows you the product reviews and insights the magazine is known for.
Shop around for a shopping app
The Consumer Reports app has an annual fee, $4.99 a year, while the others mentioned so far are all free. Often, you won't have to open your wallet for a great app that will save you money.
"When it comes to apps, the adage that you get what you pay for is really irrelevant as a litmus test for consumers to decide if they want to install an app," says Ryan Ruud, a digital media expert in Minneapolis who calls Target's free shopping app his "lifeline."
Ruud says plenty of great free smartphone shopping apps are available, often supported by advertising or provided by a particular store hoping you'll shop there. But understand that while a retailer's branded app may offer the latest deals and list-making features, it likely won't tell you if a competitor has a better price. So it's worth shopping around for the right app before you start doing the real shopping around.
To find a quality app, Ruud advises consumers to look at the reviews in an app store. If an app has several hundred reviews or more and the ratings are high, he says it's probably good. Likewise, regular updates for minor fixes are a good sign the app's maker offers ongoing support. If you pick the wrong app, you can always delete it and find another.
Shopping and talking?
Siri, Apple's voice-recognition tool, has been something of a sensation since it was introduced for iPhone last year. Now a number of popular shopping apps advertise the possibility of speaking to your smartphone instead of typing in a product or scanning a barcode to do a price check. Unfortunately, the more cutting-edge you are, the more bugs you're likely to encounter. Voice-controlled shopping apps -- available for both iPhone and Android platforms -- are still in their infancy, with kinks still to be worked out.
Craig Agranoff, a technology reporter and co-founder of Grip'd, a Boca Raton, Fla., company that develops iPhone and iPad apps, says he's not quite sure Siri is a useful mobile shopping tool just yet.
"Voice for product searching seems to be a bit far off for now since you're really hoping that the operating system recognizes what you said properly," says Agranoff. If the voice app doesn't understand you, you'll be back to manually entering product information or scanning the barcode.
But Agranoff points out that the speed of innovation in the mobile-app space is intense, so better voice recognition is coming.
Caution on privacy
While free apps can certainly help you simplify your shopping and save, they also raise some serious questions about consumer privacy, says Aaron Messing, a lawyer who specializes in information privacy issues at OlenderFeldman in Union, N.J.
"If you have a smartphone, it knows everything about you," he says. "Consumers should understand what types of data they will be sharing when they use a particular app."
Read the terms of service before installing any app. Messing says you also need to ask: Will this app have access to my location, pictures, contact book, and voice or text communications? If so, when will it collect that information, and how will the app use it?
Even people who are extremely cautious about their privacy may decide the benefits of smartphone shopping apps are worth giving up some personal information for, he says. All experts stress that whether a shopping app is free or costs you something, it will track your shopping habits because that's often how customized deals are targeted to specific consumers.

PayPal claims its iPhone and Android shopping app beats NFC chips - Daily Telegraph
Unlike many other attempts to turn smartphones into electronic wallets, PayPal’s app does not rely on NFC. Google, credit card firms and the mobile operators – as well as, it’s rumoured, Apple - are all backing this “wave and pay” technology. It is being built into the latest devices such as the Samsung Galaxy SIII and works in a similar way to London’s Oyster card system.
PayPal claimed its app is better, however, because it does not require retailer to install new equipment.
"[It] underlines our view that mobile payments don't need NFC technology to succeed,” said Mr McLean.
“PayPal’s ‘pay by mobile’ service works with the phones most of our customers already own. And our retail partner doesn't have to install new systems to take in-store mobile payments.”
But NFC’s backers have begun a big push of their own on British high street. Barclaycard is currently heavily marketing its “PayTag”, a sticker containing an NFC chip designed to be stuck to the back of a smartphone. It converts current devices, which typically lack built-in NFC capability, into electronic wallets.
Despite widespread predictions of a cashless future, some critics have argued that NFC and other mobile payment systems will hand too much control to banks and big technology firms. Never the less, on Wednesday the Post Office said it will soon become Britain's largest operator of NFC pay points.
