Turn Browsers into Buyers: The Price Tracker Feature for Retailers

How Furniture, Mattress, and Appliance Retailers Can Turn Browsers into Buyers

In the world of high-ticket retail, “sticker shock” is a daily reality. A customer falls in love with a sectional or a luxury mattress, but they hesitate at the checkout line. They aren’t saying “no”—they’re saying “not right now.”

In the past, that customer would leave your store or close the tab, and you’d likely never see them again. But with the new Price Tracker feature for R&A Websites, you can turn that hesitation into a future sale automatically.

Here is how this powerful tool helps furniture, mattress, and appliance retailers capture lost leads and drive more revenue.

1. Capture the “Price-Sensitive” Lead

Furniture and appliances are significant investments. Your customers are often willing to wait weeks or months for a President’s Day sale or a Black Friday deal. The Price Tracker feature bridges this gap.

Instead of leaving empty-handed, visitors can click a “Track Price” button directly on the product page. They sign up to be notified the moment that specific item goes on sale.

Why it works: You capture a lead that would have otherwise bounced.
The Result: You build a high-intent email list of people who specifically told you they want to buy your product.

2. Empower Customers with “My Account” Management

The Price Tracker isn’t just a passive notification system; it gives your customers control. Integrated directly into the My Account area of your website, users can:

View all the products they are watching in one dashboard.
Set a “Desired Price”: A customer can explicitly state, “I will buy this refrigerator if it drops to $1,200.”
Manage and edit their subscriptions instantly.

This creates a “sticky” experience, encouraging customers to log in, check their status, and remain engaged with your brand rather than drifting to a competitor.

3. A Strategic Goldmine for Store Owners

For you, the retailer, the real power lies in the backend. The Price Tracker comes with a comprehensive Statistics Page that gives you X-ray vision into your customers’ demand.

Imagine looking at a dashboard and seeing that 50 customers are tracking a specific sofa, and their average “desired price” is just $50 below your current sale price.

Data-Driven Sales: instead of guessing what to put on sale, you can look at the data. If you know exactly what price point will trigger a buying frenzy, you can plan your flash sales with surgical precision.
Inventory Management: Use this data to move stagnant inventory by hitting the specific price targets your customers have set.

4. Automated Re-Engagement

The best part? The system works while you sleep. When you lower a price in your system, the Price Tracker automatically fires off a “Price Drop Alert” email to everyone watching that item.

Recover Lost Sales: Bring customers back to the site exactly when they are ready to buy.
Save Time: No need to manually email leads or export lists. The system connects the price change to the customer instantly.

Summary

For furniture and appliance retailers, timing is everything. The Price Tracker feature ensures that when the time is right—and the price is right—your customer is the first to know.
