What's Froogle? Can people find your nutritional supplements there?

As An Integris independent business owner, the first question you need to ask yourself is: "Where do customers shop?"

• Customers shop at a place that s familiar
• Customers shop at a place that s convenient
• Customers shop at a place they trust
• Customers shop at a place with good prices
• Customers shop at a place they ve shopped at before.

So what does a consumer's shopping preferences have to do with Google's Froogle? Well simply put; many people trust Google's Foogle and they are familiar with Google because it's well promoted, they've been there before and it's always convenient. While Google's Froogle does not sell or price products or services themself, they do allow shoppers to hunt down good prices and merchants to set whatever pricing they prefer. They've hit the consumer's nail right on its head.

It seems to be a rare exception to the old expression, "there's no such thing as a free lunch". At Froogle, if you're trying to get into a comparison shopping engine, lunch is on them. It's on the house!
