No, I’m not talking about dollars, I’m talking about saving the environment.
Yahoo Shopping now has a Green Shopping section (to complement the incredible Yahoo! Green). PriceGrabber has Shop Green. TheFind has TheFind Green. MSN Shopping has Shop Green.
While I’ll let these companies quibble about the size of their carbon footprints, what’s important is that these ‘mini-sites’ can be extremely effective merchandising efforts. The other shopping engines all have green products in their databases. I’d expect to see additional ‘green’ launches in the near future.
P.S. Joe, Yahoo! Green has a link to a Green Gift Guide. You’ve gotta get a more prominent link in there back to Yahoo Green Shopping. Pristine Planet might be a good site, but that should be your link!
Ho, ho, ho. I left Yahoo! a couple weeks ago to start my own company. Bummed I won’t be there for the Holiday rush, but I’m sure the Yahoo! Shopping team appreciates your feedback. Happy Holidays!
We have had products included in the Pricegrabber Shop Green section since but the method of inclusion has been forced through the help of our account manager. The scope of the categories we have products in is very limited to the overall offering of “green” products on our site.
