A Guide to Finding the Perfect Product for Your Needs
How do you know the perfect product to pick out of all the available brands?
As a shopper, we are sure that you’ve been in this situation before. You want to get a product, search for it, and many options come up. Now, you’re stuck as you do not know the right brand to pick.
Therefore, you are confused looking at the various brands. In this state of confusion, you cannot make a purchase decision and you keep delaying. Eventually, you may end up not buying the product.
Princess has never been super hyped about skin care products. But after much persuasion from people, she decided to give it a try. The other day, she went on Peppa to search for skincare products and never had she been more confused. With the different products from various brands, she realized that she made a mistake not consulting friends or skin care experts before searching for skin care products.
At Peppa, we love it when customers have a seamless shopping experience. So, we have come up with ways that would serve as a guide to finding the perfect product for your needs.
- Determine your needs
What product do you want to get?
Let’s go back to the illustration we gave of Princess. Yes, she wanted to get skin care products. But just saying skin care products is like pouring water into the sea. What type of skin care products does she needs?
There are different skin care products that serve various purposes. Do you want skin products that help to hydrate the skin or you’re looking for exfoliating products? It could also be that you want a good face wash or a skin care product for your acne.
All these classify as your needs. Once you’ve been able to narrow down and determine your needs you’ll find it easy to search for products.
For example, let’s say you’re searching for skin care products and 500 products pop up. When you limit your search to ‘face wash,’ it can reduce to about 150 products. This way, it is easier to navigate and make a choice.
It also applies to anything you want you to purchase, including household items like cooking pots. Searching for cooking pots alone can bring up about 200 options. But it would be limited to around 70 when you search for ‘non-stick pots.’
Thus, always remember to determine your needs.
- Research
The next thing you should do after determining your needs is to carry out research on the needs to guide your train of thought. It is helpful for finding the perfect product for your needs.
When Princess realized that she needed the help of others in picking the right skin care products, she reached out to her friends. However, for some reason, they were unavailable at that moment. So, the next best thing she did was to go online and search for products that suit her needs.
For example, you can search for ‘best products for hair growth.’ ‘What products are best to cure acne?’
When you check for these things on search engines, you will see blog posts and articles on them. More often than not, you’ll get people sharing their stores and procedures. You can even see reviews on various products. This way, you can determine brands you should avoid and the ones you should be open to trying.
Through research, you even get to learn more than surface knowledge about these products. After all, it is helpful to have in-depth knowledge about whatever you want to buy. It also helps you to be able to defend your choice.
- Have a budget
How much do you plan to spend on the product you want to buy?
Before you search for any product, you need to work with a budget. Understandably, you will see products of different prices when you’re shopping online. However, if you have a budget, you’ll be able to narrow things and work with the options within your budget.
There are many reasons why there may be price disparity with the various products, but that is not the focus of this article. It is important that you work with a budget, especially when you’re buying products for a certain need for the first time as you do not want to get overwhelmed with the various options.
Now, you may argue that it’s hard to work with a budget when you’re not familiar with the product. However, that is the beauty of the internet. You can check for the prices of these things online and estimate an average for it. This way, you have an idea of what to work with as a budget.
Your friends and those around you who use the products are also in the best place to tell you what to budget. For example, a mother can tell you the price range for ‘quality non-stick pans.’ Therefore, if you see non-stick pans are way ridiculously below that amount, you’re sure that they ain’t original.
- Ask for Recommendations
Recall the story of Princess trying to get skin care products? We mentioned that the first thing she did was to reach out to her friends. It is because she considers them as experts in the skin care field. So, she is sure that they can recommend products for her to buy that would fit her needs.
We are sure that you know the strengths and capabilities of those in your circle. Therefore, you should know who to reach out to for certain things. So, do not hesitate to reach out and ask for recommendations. This way, you will know the right brand(s) to choose to satisfy your needs.
If you do not ask for recommendations, you will be working based on assumptions and it is one of the worst things you can do. In this case, you may even get the wrong product which would not give you value for your money and you’ll later regret it. Would you want this to happen?
Ideally, you should ask a good number of experts for recommendations. Then, compare the answers you get and pick the option that seems consistent. You can be sure to get value from the recommended products as these people have tested and tried them. They wouldn’t recommend what doesn’t work as their reputation would be at stake.
- Be Patient
Shopping online brings about comfort and experience. However, you get the best out of it when you’re not in a rush. You need to be patient when shopping online as it enables you to make the right choice.
If you’re not patient, you’ll end up picking a product that wouldn’t be suitable for your needs. It is best to keep in mind that there would be an array of products. Your patience is what would help you navigate and filter through these products effectively.
Some people say that the patient dog eats the fattest bone, and we agree with them in this context. To savor an online shopping experience, you must be patient.
