Black Friday Coupons Pushed On Facebook

By Andrew Redfern @ 28th November 2008 9:42 am

As we announced yesterday Black Friday, the unofficial start to the American holiday shopping frenzy, is now upon us and companies using Facebook using the Social Network to distribute shopping coupons.

Randi Zuckerberg on the Official Facebook blog posted on the blog about some of the examples. Take a look of how companies are using Social Media to push online users into the offline world.

Randi comments – “Shopaholics are waking up at dawn to get to the best sales of the year. Reports show that Black Friday sales are up amid the financial downturn.

The shopping buzz extends everywhere –- ads in magazines and billboards, websites dedicated to finding the best sales and of course, Facebook. Just as Facebook helps you connect with the people you care about and share information, you can also use Facebook during the holidays to get the most out of your shopping experience.

Become a fan of your favorite stores to get news about sales and special events, create an event around a shopping trip and invite your friends or update your status to tell your friends about a great sale you spotted or a recent purchase. You can also join one of dozens of Facebook groups for people who love Black Friday or give your friends a Facebook shopping gift.

Many of your favorite retailers, including Dell, eBay and Sephora are offering free shopping gifts in the Facebook gift shop. They range from shopping bags to ribbon-wrapped gift boxes and computers.

Retailers are also promoting sales and giving out coupons and discounts though Facebook Pages and Events. So, before you rush out this holiday season, log onto Facebook and search for your favorite stores to find the best deals. Make sure to keep a close watch on your friends’ Facebook status updates — after all, you won’t want to miss out on a great sale or a hot bargain.”
