BUYZ SPECIAL FEATURES

The Buying Guides

The buying guides are the core of the Buyz site and are an excellent place to start. The buying guides consist of four separate sections: an overview and then a page for each of the three steps of the Buyz123 step process: Research, Evaluation and Purchase.

The Research page will take you through the major features of the product, with an explanation and discussion of how these features operate and what kind of processes may depend on them. The second half of the Research page takes you through a Q and A process, suggesting questions you might have about the product features and prompting you to ask yourself questions that relate uniquely to your needs.

As you work through the Research page you will become familiar with the product features and gain an understanding of complicated technical specifications and how these translate into everyday use. You will then begin to think of what your needs are in this product, and which of the features meet those needs. You'll find there will be some features that are essential if the product is to perform as you want, some that would be nice to have if the price is right, and some that you just don't need at all.

Evaluation:

In this step you build on what you discovered in the first step, but with a tighter focus on relating personal needs to product features. This step is about evaluating how well individual product features met your specific needs.

Product features are discussed in more detail, including a features checklist. You can now use another of the Buyz123 special features, the interactive checklist, to start selecting the features you really do need in a product, to start creating a checklist—or ‘shopping' list—of all the features a product must offer to meet your needs.

You are now creating another list, a short list of products that offer the features that best meet your needs. At this stage you are only considering individual products and compiling a list of features essential in a product that would work best for you.

In the second part of Evaluation you then compare the products on your short list to each other, to arrive at a final select short list of a few products that best meet these requirements.

Purchase:

Purchasing is the final step when you buy a product. In this step you will find tips on questions and checks you can make before you finalise the purchase of a product. This is the time when you would compare prices, looking for the best deals, and consider other factors like customer support, warranty and repair. There is information on the different methods of purchasing as well as specific tips that apply to individual products.

Other Special Features:

Personal My Page:

Every registered user has their own personal page through which you can access the research notes you've taken for various products or services, the features lists you've modified and saved and the links you've visited. Soon you'll also be able to view past searches you've made for products and services and the options you've selected during the search. This allows you to reproduce a search or edit the search parameters to find a different list or search result for that product or service.

Notes:

As a registered user you can takes notes and the site will save those notes under the product or service you are currently viewing. This means you can always go back to them and edit them, print them out etc.

Features List:

Every product or service offers a features list that you can edit and modify. You can delete features you're not interested in and you can add to the list when you have something very specific you want in the product or service. You can then print this list out and take it with you when you go shopping.

Link Tracker:

This is a voluntary service for registered users that you can turn on if you want to make use of the feature. It's easy to forget websites you've visited when doing your research into which product or service to buy so this feature allows you to record where you go elsewhere on the web while you've still got the Buyz123.com website open in your browser. You can delete, edit and rename the links. But with this feature you'll always be able to find those important websites you've visited again without clogging up you favourites list in your browser.
