Posted Monday, November 17th, 2008 by John

We wrote about our launch of a mobile version of Bountii last week. Given its use by iPhone owners has been quite a bit higher than we expected, we decided to make a bunch of design improvements which you can see a glimpse of below.

Rock Bottom Price Alerts

Posted Monday, November 17th, 2008 by John

You may have a noticed the recent addition of a small green box on our search results pages. In the box, we ask you to enter your email address so we can alert you when a store has lowered the price on a particular product such that the offer is too good to pass up.

Now, we show you these types of deals all the time on Bountii (especially on our Home and Price Drops pages). However, we know you can’t be on Bountii.com 24/7, so we thought you’d appreciate it if we sent you a message about our best deals as soon as a store makes the markdown.

We’ll post a sample “Rock Bottom Price Alert” email here shortly.

Without a doubt, you’ll be trekking around local stores a lot this holiday season. And, since we’re all trying to spend our money a little more wisely these days, we thought we’d make Bountii.com accessible when you’re away from a computer to help with your buying decisions.

The image below shows the home page at http://m.bountii.com on an Apple iPhone. In this version of Bountii, we’ve included our search functionality as well as our very popular Price Drops page, which is linked to from the home page. As always, we’d love your input as to what needs fixed or improvement, so be sure to send us feedback.
