    Special Offer & Recession Chic!

    Once more, no Trick, just Treat!

    Smarter.com is looking forward to working with you for the holidays! In fact, I want to remind you of our little pre-holiday gift I am offering as an incentive to any account that signs up before noon on Oct. 31st! Smarter will be having our office Halloween party that day, so make sure your account is in-place before noon and I’ll credit it with $50 in bonus clicks!

    (speaking of Halloween Party, here’s a photo of some of us from last year : )

    To make it easy, here is our account sign-up link!:

    I have to tell you, we are still having temperatures here in the mid-80’s, so it still doesn’t feel quite like fall! But the truth of the matter is that it is that the first day of autumn did come quite a few weeks ago and NEXT WEEK is (finally!) election day! So, we are actually clipping along thru Q4!

    Okay, I saw this article and just had to share (never fear, I’ll tie it back to comparison shopping at the end):

    Read the full Recessionista New York Times article!

    The New York Times Fashion & Style headline reads, “A Label for a Pleather Economy” I love it! So now I can really be on the cutting edge of style with my ‘boutique-Target’ (pronounced “TAR-shea” for those not in the know!) purchases!? The truth of the matter is that in a down-turn economy, budget and value is at the top of most shoppers minds!

    Here’s the circle back!

    At Smarter.com, we give every opportunity for our merchants to let shoppers know about all their special offers, coupons and discounts! We have a place for coupons in our data-feeds, and there is also a mechanism for adding them to products thru our back-end SAM (Smarter Account Management) accounts! Also, something new that we’re adding is the ability to list both the regular price of a product along-side the sale or discounted price of a product! This will serve to visually reinforce the great value that purchasing the product from your store over your competitors store offers!

    E or ring me and I will be happy to explain these benefits to you further or walk you thru your Smarter account set-up.

    Happy haunting until next week!  For more Recession Chic, visit Mary Hall’s blog at:
