Why has DealTaker Gone Black?

Posted by DBiles on November 9, 2009

You may have noticed over on the DealTaker home page that our logo has gone black. That’s because it’s November and for bargain-hunters everywhere November means just one thing:

Black Friday.

DealTaker has long been a go to destination for Black Friday information and I think that’s because of the enthusiasm everyone here has for this time of year. There’s a real hubub when a new ad comes in. We all get excited and everyone from the content team, to the merchants, marketing and the developers get chatty when a new ad comes in.

We’ve done some things this year to help make the Black Friday information easier to find. First of all, check out our new and improved 2009 Black Friday Ads page. There’s always a lot of information coming from lots of different directions so we’ve done our best on that page to keep it organized and easy to find. On the left hand side is a list of all the stores that we had ads for last year. As the ads come in a check mark will show up next to it. Click on the store name and you’ll find all of the ad info (including product lists and ad scans when available).

On the main page you’ll also notice that we’re aggregating all of the Black Friday coupons that come in from merchants as well.

This week is always a busy week as tons of new ads come in, so check back regularly for all the most up to date info. And know that when a new ad comes in your trusty DealTaker staff is just as excited as you are!

Black Friday 2007 is almost here

Posted by admin on October 17, 2007

We’re a little over a month away from Black Friday, and we’re already getting some ads showing up.  I expect over the next few weeks, our Black Friday 2007 forum will be buzzing with even more activity.

So far, we have Harbor Freight, Ace Hardware ad Sears..  Everyone seems excited about getting the WalMart and Target ads, but we still haven’t seen those yet. 

One thing we’re doing this year is giving away some Nintendo Wii’s.  If you want a chance to win, just go here: http://www.dealtaker.com/wii, you can enter once a day until the drawing date.

Shortly after Black Friday comes Cyber Monday, and we’ll be sure to give you the latest & greatest deals for that too.  It is one of the busiest online shopping days.  Usually the sales are just the carryover from Black Friday, but some stores will likely have some new deals reserved for that day too.

We should have our Gift Registry ready by Nov. 1, so keep checking, or use the current version, and you won’t lose any data during the upgrade!

Update On DealTaker

Posted by admin on September 16, 2007

So here’s a quick update.  Keep checking our Online Coupons area for some changes in how coupons are displayed, and also look into our very popular Black Friday 2007 page.  We hope to keep this as up-to-date as possible, and have our viewers be among the first for the Black Friday preview ads. 

Well, that’s enough for now, but Keep checking in on us :)

Black Friday, Press, More contests & More

Posted by admin on November 10, 2006

Well, Black Friday is a couple weeks away, and we’ve been getting a lot of the rumored ads from stores like Walmart, Circuit City, KMart & More!  We’re anticipating a lot of the items to be available online, and some may start as early as Thursday!.  On the Linens n Things ad, we noticed we’re able to get many of the items already, and using our coupons, its even less!

We’ve recently been featured on a few news programs, and it seems to be growing.  While our Press Page is not fully comprehensive of all our mentions, you can watch some clips, and read some transcripts!

People love our contests, and we’re continuing our TMX Elmo contest, but we’ve added a $50 Gift Card a day contest for the month of November, so be sure to register for that too!  We have a lot of store sponsored 3-day contests too, so check our forums often.

Be sure to remember our Coupon section for your holiday shopping!  Also, if you’re not sure what to get, there’s always our Gift Card quick links!

Take care everyone!

TMX Elmo  $50 a day contest

TMX Elmo, Black Friday & more.

I just finished an article on making the most of DealTaker to find the best deal: http://www.dealtaker.com/blog/how-to-find-the-best-deal.  Hopefully this will help some folks who find Bargain hunting a bit scary.

Well, Black Friday is quickly approaching, and once again, we were the 1st site on the web to report an advanced sale (Ace Hardware, back in June).  Thanks to all our great members for making us the premier site for Black Friday shoppers everywhere!

TMX Elmo is the hottest thing around, and if you’ve been watching TV, you may have seen me showing off one that our members were able to get for only $32 on the initial release day!.  Well, now’s your chance to win it.  The details can be found here.

I usually like to tell the blog readers 1st when we add a new feature, but the latest addition to pricetaker we just rolled right out!.  Our new component is a Filler Item finder (we still have the amazon one), for all the stores in PriceTaker.  Now if you have a coupon (ie: $10 off $30 buy.com), you can easily look up all the items that cost $30 at buy.com.  Or if you found something for $25, you can find $5 fillers quickly & easily.  Besides Buy.com, we have over 600 stores, so this is no small database… we have over 15 million products in there.
