Sydney, NSW - August 18, 2016 /MarketersMedia/ —
As shopping patterns are shifting from the brick-and-mortar store to online environments, the latest trend in shopping makes use of mobile technology in the form of shopping apps like Alphatise, an app that helps customers find deals and share those deals with friends. Available in the iTunes store, the just-released update of the itunes app includes a category search function that makes it quicker and easier for customers to find the products they want, according to spokesperson Paul Pearson.
"Alphatise has some great features that make it different from a lot of other shopping apps," said Pearson. "With our app, you can create a wish list and name the price you're willing to pay for each item. When vendors want to match your price, you'll get a notification with an offer. We also let you connect with friends and share your wish lists and deals. In other words, when you get a great deal, your friends on Alphatise can take advantage of it as well."
Pearson went on to emphasize that Alphatise shifts the power from the seller to the consumer, since the consumer sets the limit on the price. "However, we do try to help our users make realistic wishes," he said. "We have a feature that rates the likelihood of a wish. If the price the user sets is most likely too low, he or she will get that feedback." While some group-shopping apps involve competition among customers who bid for a product or service, Alphatise customers negotiate directly with the seller.
Alphatise currently has over 180,000 products available in their online store, and they feature top brands such as Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, DKNY, Moet, Bose, Sony, and Apple, to name a few. Customers can browse the top 250 products on the home page, or they can search by product or by store, said Pearson, adding that the store offers are specific to the user's location. When products are shipped, they are tracked and delivered by a courier service, so that customers can know where their packages are and when they will be delivered.
Customers can access Alphatise via computer, tablet, or smartphone, and it is available for iOS and Android operating systems. The app is a free download, and users create an account or connect via Facebook. Customers can expect to be contacted only when they get an offer; Alphatise does not send promotional emails to users, Pearson said. Concluded Pearson, "We are excited about our latest update, and we hope our customers will be able to discover even more great deals!"

Style Edit: 45R’s new knits spotlight texture and Japanese craftsmanship
The appeal of a good knit is often immediate, from the softness against the skin to the reassuring volume and warmth. At 45R, those qualities begin well before a garment takes shape. The Japanese label’s latest selection puts the making process in focus, bringing together airy merino, characterful Shetland wool and the flecked textures of Donegal tweed. Founded in Tokyo in 1977, 45R approaches clothing through monozukuri, or the “art of making”, a philosophy centred on respect for craft and...

By most measures, he had already won the start-up lottery. “It was producing a lot of money, but it wasn’t something I actually loved doing,” says Yang, who was born and raised in...
