AUSTIN, TX -- 11/24/09 --
Black Friday and Cyber Monday are just a few
days away. Retailers are motivated this year to roll out significant
holiday shopping specials and consumers will look to save, stretch budgets
and ensure they are getting good value for what they spend. With that in
mind, the team at www.Offers.com has
created the Holiday Savings
Center and put together these tips to help any consumer survive holiday
shopping while staying on budget.
-- Skip the crowds, cold and 4 a.m. wake-up: While retailers will
advertise some exciting "door-buster" specials, the reality is there will
be a limited supply and sometimes the product on special will have stripped
down features. A better strategy is to shop online where many of the same
specials will be available -- some before Friday morning. The Offers.com
team will be working through the Thanksgiving weekend to post the best Black Friday 2009 online
deals.
-- Do your homework. Plan a shopping list and budget carefully before
beginning to shop. The Holiday Savings Center features planning tools any
consumer can use including a Holiday Budget Calculator. And shopping online
can save time and money, in fact, an Offers.com poll shows 38 percent of
consumers plan to do at least half of their holiday shopping online this
year.
-- Get a jump on Monday. Traditionally the Monday after Thanksgiving
weekend kicked off online holiday buying hence the name Cyber Monday. Today
consumers can find great online offers before Monday from the comfort of
home. The Offers.com Holiday Savings Center also features the best Cyber Monday 2009 online
deals.
-- Get offers! We all know shopping online can save time, and consumers --
especially this year -- should not click "buy now" without a coupon or
discount code in hand. Sites like Offers.com collect the best offers from
thousands of merchants putting the latest coupons, promotions, free items
and more right at your fingertips. And with Offers.com you can be sure
