Methods and systems for locating an item are described. When a shopper walks into a store, the shopper's mobile device transmits a signal with the shopper's shopping preferences. Any items that are within a certain distance of the mobile device and satisfy at least one of the shopper's preferences may light up to indicate that the item matches something the shopper is looking for.
