Bridesmaid Dress from Amazon.com

The second question usually is, “How much are the bridesmaid dresses?”

All women want to be part of their best friends’ bridal parties, but the price of purchasing a dress on top of the wedding gift that they are obligated to give, can be a bit of a downer.

More and more women are trying to find discounts on their bridesmaid dress, but it’s hard to find the exact dress online sometimes. Lately a large number of women are flocking to Amazon in order to buy the dress that they need.

Amazon offers a huge variety of dresses for any occasion, but there seem to be a plethora of bridesmaid and prom dresses on the online shopping website.

Mary Toliver of Cape Coral, FL found her dress online at Amazon for a 45% off discount.

“I was told I needed to purchase this Champagne colored Satin Gown, and the store that the bride recommended was selling it for $120. I went online and found it for only $65 on Amazon,” explained Toliver.

Southern California Edison

“We hope that the higher rebate will be the extra nudge customers need to upgrade to a more efficient pool pump. An energy-efficient pool pump uses just half the electricity as an older model, so in just a short time the new equipment can pay for itself. It’s a win for the consumer and a win for the environment,” said SCE’s director, Gene Rodrigues, Energy Efficiency and Solar Division.

The pool pumps must be purchased between September 3, 2010 and December 31, 2010 in order to qualify for the refund. They must be installed before February 28, 2011. If you have any questions about the rebate or wish to learn more, you can call 1-800-436-4777 or visit the Southern California Edison website at www.sce.com/rebates.

Location based apps have been catching on at an extremely fast pace. Foursquare and Gowalla lead the charge. However, a new type of location based service is beginning to take shape. Mobile shopping alerts are emerging in the location based arena.

Placecast and Shopkick are two new services that allow retailers to alert consumers of new discounts and coupon deals via their mobile phones. Both of these services aim to do the same thing, but they do them in totally different ways.

Placecast is offering a new service called ShopAlerts. It is an opt-in service that allows retailers to send text messages to consumers with location based discounts and deals, depending on the consumers’ location. For example, a grocery store may want to send people located within 5 miles of their store grocery coupons, or a shoe store located in a mall might wish to send everyone who is in the mall a message with their latest shoe discounts. Of course, these consumers must have previously opted in to the ShopAlerts service.

Shopkick, on the other hand, is a mobile app, which is currently available on the iTunes App Store. Shopkick rewards it’s users for checking into certain stores, by issuing kickbucks. Kickbucks are issued for simply walking into a store, and also for scanning products. They can be redeemed for gift cards, iPads, music downloads, donations to causes, etc. The app will also provide the users with the latest coupons available in that store. The app is available nationwide, but kickbucks are currently only being issued in 4 major markets: New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Chicago. It will be available on Android based phones later this year.

Here is a video demo explaining how Placecast’s ShopAlerts works.

These are just 2 of the latest location based shopping services available. There are more out there, and we should expect to see even more emerge in the near future.

Gap Offers 25% Off Discount

Gap seems to be really trying to advertise their brand via social marketing. It should be very interesting to see how well this marketing campaign does.

Sears and Kmart

In response, Sears and Kmart are again bringing back the Christmas Club card to help consumers budget for the holidays and save money over time, without incurring credit card interest or debt. The Christmas Club card can be used across all Sears and Kmart platforms – whether customers are shopping online, in stores or paying off layaway.

“Sixty-seven percent of Americans feel guilty that they aren’t saving enough money, so we want to make it as easy as possible for them to budget and save for the upcoming 2010 holiday season,” said Susan Ehrlich, president, Financial Services, Sears Holdings. “The Christmas Club card garnered tremendous positive feedback from our customers last year and we’re looking to provide them with the same shopping choices and convenience, while continuing to offer yet another unique way to save.”

These survey numbers are also significantly higher for multicultural audiences. Of those surveyed, 70 percent of African Americans and 58 percent of Hispanics feel guilty for not saving enough money. However, even though both groups admit they don’t save as much as they would like, saving for the holidays is one of the top priorities when they do save. Fifty-nine percent of African Americans and 56 percent of Hispanics say that winter holidays, such as Christmas, are times when they typically save money in advance.

When activated between now and Oct. 31, Christmas Club card users will earn a three percent reward- up to a maximum $100 – based upon the value they have on their Christmas club cards on Nov.15, 2010. The reward will be added to customers’ Christmas Club cards by Nov. 24, 2010.To activate cards or add additional value at any time, customers can visit any Sears or Kmart store location, or online at www.sears.com/christmasclub or www.kmart.com/christmasclub.

Starting, adding value to and redeeming the Christmas Club card are designed to be easy and flexible for shoppers. Customers can start their Christmas Club cards with as little as $5, and they can add value as often as they want at any one of Sears Holdings’ approximately 3,900 full-line and specialty retail stores, or online. Customers can also transfer money left over from their 2009 red Christmas Club cards to the new gold 2010 Christmas Club card if they participated in or received cards as gifts from last year’s program.

“The holidays are about enjoying time with family and friends – not stressing over financial worries,” said Ehlrich. “We are constantly looking for more ways to help serve our customers needs and improve their everyday lives, and the Christmas Club card was designed to do just that.”

As with all Sears and Kmart gift cards, there are no fees associated with the Christmas Club card, and the value on the card will not expire. Cash or credit refunds are not allowed except where required by law. All Sears and Kmart Christmas Club cards can be redeemed at Sears, Kmart, Lands’ End and The Great Indoors store locations.
