Google implements new shopping features in time for the holidays
Google is introducing new shopping help features just in time for the holidays, which will be beneficial to customers but may have substantial ramifications for online shops, particularly in terms of knowing your rivals and market.
To begin with, Google is including discount codes and promos into product search results, which will allow customers to connect with seasonal offers and bargains without having to look for the information elsewhere.
Google explains:
Several websites provide a similar service by promoting the most recent promo coupons and connecting visitors with discount possibilities. Integrating it inside Google itself might have a far larger impact because consumers won't have to know which sites to visit to obtain the same information.
To optimize potential, firms may need to provide better deals and discounts, as well as ensure that they are registered with Google. If a rival is running a fantastic discount promotion, and consumers can now see it in-stream, that might be a huge driver, and you'll need to be aware of it, as well as how your offers match-up, as they develop.
You'll also notice that this display isn't in the 'Shopping' tab, but rather in the main Google search results page for this product.
These are significant listing modifications that may have a significant influence on online shops.

| "Our new promotion badge will show up in Search on items running a promotion (like "15% off with coupon code HOLIDAYS"). While in the past we've shown when items are on sale or the price has dropped, you can now see specific promotions and compare them to others right in Search. We're also adding a new coupon clipping feature, which allows you to easily copy promo codes when you're ready to buy." |
