How to make the most of Black Friday sales

by JD Adams

Created on: November 27, 2009

Have you met Yowza? Do you even know Yowza? Do you remember that kid standing next to you in line, waiting to pay for his new jeans? He was staring into his iPhone, typing on the tiny keyboard and mumbling something about a website called yowza. Was he delirious from Black Friday shopping or frustrated with the crowds and long lines? Why was he talking to himself about yowza?

Do I have your attention yet? Are you asking, "Who is Yowza," or maybe, "What is Yowza?" There is a lot of shopping to do on Black Friday. This new Generation-X texting phrase is the least of your worries right now. You know the word: yowzah. It is commonly used interjection, indicating surprise or amazement. But not yowza; the word is spelled incorrectly and there is not even an entry in Wikipedia.

Today is Black Friday. The stores and malls are packed with holiday shoppers. You probably are asking yourself, "How do I make the most of today's sales?" There are great deals everywhere, so long as you are an efficient shopper. You know the routine to get the most out of today: make a shopping list and a budget, spend some time with your local newspaper to find the best deals, start early and plan your attack. This year, however, there is another step in the process. Do not forget to pack your iPhone or Android electronic device, and be sure to introduce yourself to Yowza. Today, only at the website www.getyowza.com, you can find bigger and better savings than anything listed in your local newspaper.

Yowza is a personalized and localized electronic coupon application for your iPhone, iTouch or Android device. Visit the website and enter your local geographic area. Suddenly, all the best deals, discounts and coupons in your area are right at your fingertips. You simply show your phone to the cashier, who scans a bar code sent to your phone. "Yowza!" you shout, as you get a deal better than anyone standing in line. The site recently partnered with many new retailers for this year's Black Friday shopping push. You will find new deals from retailers as diverse as Toys-R-Us, Pier 1, the ESPN Zone and McDonald's, all with great new discounts designed specifically for Black Friday. Try the site today to get most out of Black Friday shopping, and be sure to save it in your favorites for good deals all year long. Trust me when I tell you, once you enjoy the benefits of Yowza, you may never clip another coupon.
