LockedCommunity Sneak Peek!

posted on August 30, 2009 at 01:11PM Inappropriate?

I made a comment the otherday about sharing an exclusive sneak peek at some new technology we are working on at Sears to help make finding deals even easier.  I would like to unveil a new deals experience to you first!  Please take a look at our new program here:

http://www.sears.com/shc/s/dap_10153_12605_DAP_sears+circular?origin=prod

There is a feedback form on the program, but it's being fixed right now, so please let us know any comments you might have here, we'd love to hear them!

And thanks for being a part of our community!

Daniel

Great!

Little blue balls moving around the Sears logo... right?

In Flash, no-less.

Okay I gave this a look and I have to say it is interesting thus far. Perhaps this could find use in more areas of the site, and not a stand-alone application that has to be found. 

A quick note - I looked at the sony cybershot and I wanted to see the back, and other views which did not show up. There is no link to the product page and that could be a handy feature. Or just include other views. Again, size does matter, and these tiny embedded frames can only include so much before it becomes unusable and cluttered. Please consider the experience which can change markedly when someone is immersed in the activity and not just looking at an afterthought.

What I am hinting at was to include a full screen or larger view button. I'd be interested in using a full screen, quality display shopping experience.

I like it. Keep up the good work!

That is pretty neat-to be able to customize your own deals.  Being able to hone in on exactly what kind of sales items you are looking for is a real time saver, and an innovative option.

Thans for the feedback!  This is the first of several versions with new features being considered and desgined.  As far as it being a stand alone application it will be linked into the main site soon enough.  Again this is an exclusive just for you!

Keep up the great feedback, ask questions, etc.

When do you suppose this will make its way on to the main site for general use? 

This is, upon second look, a pretty new way to shop online. What other sites besides Amazon are people using to shop for products? I use ebay mostly but tend to not enjoy their website. This new thing has promise, when considering the alternatives.

We will continue to work with our community for the next week or so, and then our email community and then finally it will be part of the standard flow.  A lot of man hours have gone into this, it's definately a new way to find deals, think of it as every advertisment that comes into your news paper online with enhancements based on what you've shopped for in the past, what you've given a thumbs up to in the online deals and we throw in online sales items to make sure you can find what you are looking for when you are looking for it.

No AJAX, 100% flash based experience, that swirl is a pre-loader

No wonder it's so pretty :)

I like it! Looks great. Also, I love that once you start searching, down at the bottom it displays the "Movers & Shakers" in that category...hilarious!

I liked it so much I ended up placing an order!  Woo hoo!

it is cool, I am glad it seems to be a positive thing so far. I would like to have alternative product images though, or a link to the page itself.

*Noted

We are prioritizing tweaks and enhancements based on previous internal commitments and based on the feedback we get from our community.

Also I'm glad people like the movers and shakers, that is another product that I'm in charge of for Sears and Kmart.  Makes me love to come here more and more :)

Oh!

I almost forgot...

"I" can see the Flash 10 display page at home.

Be ADVISED that not all "stores", including the one I work at, have Flash 10 PLAYERS installed on their Server.

I don't know why.

But, if this little "detail" is not taken into account, a lot of development effort will NOT be seen in atleast some of the stores.

This has already happened with the evolv tool presentation site (Flash 10).

Thanks Adam!  It's a flash 9 app, but that doesn't take away that I need to talk to Ops about this.  I'll check into it today.
