U. S. Cellular Better Moments Blogger Brigade - Black Friday/Cyber Monday Shopping

 

Black Friday and Cyber Monday will be here in just a couple of days.  Time to take advantage of some great deals for yourself or for others as gifts.  I am not one who hits the stores to take advantage of the deals.  I do almost all of my Christmas shopping online.   I have my list ready and look forward to shopping online Friday and Monday.

    According to Mobile Commerce Daily, on Black Friday last year alone, mobile shopping accounted 

   for 16 percent of online sales and that number is expected to exceed 20 percent this year, and a  

   recent U.S. Cellular survey showed that 39 percent of our smartphone customers use their 

   smartphones for shopping.  Whether you like to shop from your couch or relish the chaos of visiting 

   all of the stores during busy shopping times, smartphones can assist in ensuring you are efficient in

   your purchases, leaving more time enjoy the rest of the season's offerings. 

   To assist in the bargain hunting, U. S. Cellular has some strategic tips on how your smartphone can 

   become you best shopping pal.  Here are some ways smartphones are helping users survive these sale 

   shopping days without breaking a sweat or the bank.  

   In order to find the best deals around, the Black Friday App is one app to have at your fingertips. 

   This free app is the ultimate Black Friday survival guide, enabling users to browse "leaked" and verified

   ads. It also allows users to price compare against the best online prices or find a store’s nearby 

   locations with a tap. Using this app saves time and helps determine where to get the lowest price. 

   Let your smartphone also make the checkout process hassle free with CardStar.  Get rid of the store 
   rewards cards you may have dangling from your keychain or filling up your wallet by loading them into 
   this app and you'll never lose time or savings searching for the card you need again.  After the cards 
   are stored, you can access them from your phone and cashier will simply use the barcode stored on the
   device.

   With Amazon Mobile, users are able to zip through their shopping from home on their smartphones
   and tablets and spend more time with family and friends.

   U. S. Cellular will have some of the "hottest tech gifts" this shopping season, the iPhone 5s, 5c and 
   iPad Air.  U. S. Cellular will off iPhone 5s, the most forward-thinking smartphone in the world, and 
   iPhone 5c, the most colorful iPhone yet, to customers beginning on November 8.  Additionally, U.S. 
   Cellular announced today that iPad Air withWi-Fi + Cellular will be available online on November 8.  
   U. S. Cellular will offer iPad Air with a range of attractive data plans that will allow customers to
   connect to its fast 4G LTE network with speeds up to ten times faster than 3G.

I have my Christmas gift list on my phone.  Since my phone is with me all the time,  I always know for who and what I still have left to purchase.  It has come in very handy when shopping and I see a great deal on an item.  I can also check off a gift  as soon as I purchase it.
