ZingSale - Get Notified When Products You Want Go On Sale

This web site will help you get the best prices on all of your purchases on cyber monday (and after!)

http://www.zingsale.com

It's a free service that tracks prices of products from online stores (like amazon) and sends you an email when the price drops. You can set a target price or be notified when it falls by a certain percentage. Might be a nice way to make sure you're getting the best deals this holiday season.

It's All Junk Anyway!!!

The electronic gadget phenom as well as advertising in general have reached the point of diminishing returns thus far so that all retailers will be negatively impacted. Whenever economic times become less than optimal manufacturers and retailers should focus upon product quality instead of selling a quantity of cheap goods. Tough times create a new consumer looking for quality and value versus cheap tricks of the trade. Advertisers should create succinct advertising focusing on the product quality and the value thereof. The New Pampers TV commercial is a prime example as it merely shows sleeping babies with a quiet song playng in the background, no frills, loud music, noise or gimmicks. The American consumer is forced by economic uncertainty to be choosy this season thus bombarding the airwaves with repetitive advertising of the same tired products have become a turn-off resulting in negative consumer sentiment. Some comercials are repeated many times during the same TV show reulting in resentment for the interuptions. As a lady remarked to me lately while waiting in line she was tired of being treated like cattle thus was looking for a few high quality items because it's all junk anyway!!! Nuff said...
