Buzzillions Blogs

Online it’s harder to make purchasing decisions because you just can’t examine a product in the same way.  Until now.  In addition to customer submitted images and stock product photos, Buzzillions has launched new functionality to display multiple views of a particular product.  This means you get the glamour shot from the front, the side, the top, the bottom, and anything else the photographer thought captured the true character of that precious little shoe.

One of the differences between online and in-store shopping is the ability to see a product up close and personal.  In the store, you can try on a pair of shoes, admire your newly-adorned feet from the top,

from the side,

at all angles in the little mirror on the floor.

You can even get the bug’s-eye view.

Now you can do the same on Buzzillions. For the time being, we’re trying out the new look on Zappos products, but many more images, of more than just shoes, are on their way shortly.  Be on the lookout for glamour shots from merchants like Essential Apparel, Gardener’s Supply Co., EvoGear, and Abt Electronics soon!

If you had to guess the top three pages visited on Buzzillions today, what would you say? Well, fortunately, you don’t have to guess. In fact, you can always check out what our users are reading about and researching by clicking the Sitemap link found at the bottom of every Buzzillions page.

So, today I went to the Sitemap page to get a sense of what’s popular right now. I probably could have guessed the top page, GPS Reviews, without much trouble. It’s summer, people are traveling, they’re hiking, and really, GPS is just cool. The second one, Television Reviews, is fairly predictable as well. Starting February 17, 2009, all television signals will be digital, so it’s understandable that people are starting to research (and buy) their digital TV options.

But number three came right out of left field. The number three most visited page today is the Trojan Elexa Ultra Sensitive Premium Latex Condoms product page! This means that this single product is getting almost as much “play” as the entire GPS or Television category! Let’s see if they can keep it up
