Black Friday 2011 is only 18 days away! We try to get you the details on as many sales as we can in advance, but you may be able to save even more just by doing some Black Friday shopping! Some retailers offer special discounts on purchases if you Tweet, Share on Facebook or check in on Foursquare during your Black Friday shopping excursion.
Radio Shack had a Foursquare Badge Created for Black Friday 2010
We saw this in 2010 with a variety of merchants:
- Sears offered special offers on their Facebook Page to all of their Likers
- Sports Authority gave away two $500 gift cards to randomly selected customers who checked in on Foursquare on Black Friday
- Radio Shack released the “Holiday Hero” badge on Foursquare so those who unlocked it could get 20% off. Just checking in got you 10% off
- American Eagle offered 15% off for checking in on Foursquare
- Hollister took 20% off with a special code on Foursquare
- JCPenney took $10 off $50 with a Foursquare check in
- Toys R Us allowed the first 3,000 customers to check into Facebook Places, Foursquare or Yelp to get 15% off
Our best tip is to just be checking the social media pages of all your favorite stores. While they may not be as public as they are with their Black Friday ads, a little searching might end up helping you save!
