A New Way to Research Your Everyday Purchases

With all of the information on the internet these days, it’s become increasingly more common for consumers to do some serious research before they spend their money. From movies to restaurants, sites such as Rotten Tomatoes and Yelp have long eased such research by amassing reviews and ranking items in these markets. Until recently though, buyers have had to scour the internet to research consumer goods. The new startup Consmr looks to change that.

Founded by Ryan Charles (formerly of Zagat) Consmr ranks consumer goods based on reviews by consumers, bloggers, and several editorials, including Men’s Health and Women’s Health. Although Consmr exists only in its online at the moment, they are planning to someday release a mobile app which would allow consumers to access their database in-store and make more informed purchasing decisions on the spot.
