JCPenney Will Wake You Up at 3 A.M. on Black Friday
If you are afraid you will sleep through Black Friday you don't have to worry. A few retailers have a solution to this as well. JCPenny lets you sign-up for a wake-up call here. MSNBC describes a few other phone alerts.
At JCPenney's Web site, for example, you can sign up for a wake-up call for the day after Thanksgiving, as well as get "helpful shopping tips" texted to your phone throughout the season. You may want to consider putting your phone on "vibrate" at work.
Sears is launching "Sears2go," for cell phone users, who want to text in their orders, do product searches or find special offers.
"Say you want to get a Craftsman tool set for your friend, You text in the order and Sears will text you back when your item is ready for pickup at the store you want," said Tom Aiello, division vice president for Sears Holdings Corp. "This creates a very easy way for people to use their mobile phone to shop."
Amazon.com, among others, is also happy to send you a text alert for its "daily deals," if you're not already getting bombarded with e-mails from the Internet giant, as well as other retailers.
It's a good service that other retailers should consider for their customers who will be getting up really early to come in to their stores. We do know that some places are serving breakfast. Sam's Club has a complimentary breakfast from 5 a.m. to 8 a.m. according to its website. (via Wallet Pop)
