Seize the Deal: Target Promotion only til 6/15

Hey all you bargain hunters. You have just three more days to sign up for Seize the Deal to qualify for the $250 Target gift card. Through June 15, when you sign up for their FREE daily emails offering deals for 50-90% off local services, you'll be entered to win a $250 Target gift card. To sign up now, click here.

Though Seize the Deal is not active in Knoxville yet, they're hoping to be up and running within a few weeks. Here's how it will work. Every day (starting at midnight and ending at midnight), they will feature only ONE hot deal for local restaurants, salons, spas, entertainment, adventures, or other services. On Fridays, the deal runs through the weekend. By leveraging "the power of the group," each deal is 50-90% off retail!

The only catch is there is a minimum amount of people that are needed for the daily deal to be "seized." If that number isn't met, nobody is out any money, but no one gets the deal. So if it's something you really want, you should share the details with your friends fast so that you can all reap the benefits.

Seize the Deal: Are they really good deals?

When Seize the Deal, a new group buying website, asked me to check out their business model, I thought it looked great on paper. But I'm always skeptical until I get some proof. Will they have deals that I'm really interested in?

Since they're not in Knoxville yet, I decided to check out a few of their other markets that are running deals. So far, Seize the Deal is up and running in 8 cities in Texas, Wyoming, and Montana. Since one of my best friends, Kathy, lives in Bozeman (one of those cities), I asked her to look at the deals over three days and let me know what she thought.

On Monday, they had 50% off Montana Grizzly Encounters: $10 in entry fees for just $5. She said that was a cool place and close-by. With summer coming this would be a good time to take her daughter. A total of 69 people seized that deal. On Tuesday, Antoinette's Hair & Make-up Studio (which sounds similar to our Salon Visage), had $50 gift certificates for just $25. More than 50 people jumped on that deal too. What a perfect idea right before Mother's Day! But by far the most popular deal in Bozeman this week is today's deal at an Italian restaurant, Ferraro's. They've already had 419 people buy $30 gift certificates for $15 and they still have 3.5 hours for the deal--must be a popular place. What a great way to save on date nights!

I'm hoping we'll get equally diverse deals in Knoxville. The best way not to miss a deal is to sign up for their FREE emails with the deal of the day--no obligation. To sign up, just click on the "Sign Up" button towards the top right on my blog. By clicking through my blog, you are helping to support my writing and deal finding posts; thank you. Plus, this is a great time to do it because you'll be entered to win a drawing for a $250 gift card from Target. For more details of how Seize the Deal works, go here. But hurry, you only have until May 15!

Seize the Deal is Coming to Knoxville!

I never tire of finding ways to save money, especially on goods or services I would have bought at full price. I've recently learned that Knoxville has been chosen to be one of the next markets to reap the savings from a website called Seize the Deal. They're still in the marketing and deal planning stages, but NOW is the time to register for their FREE daily emails.

If you sign up between May 1-15, you will be entered in a drawing for a $250 Target gift card. Who doesn't want that?! Now that's what I need to stay under budget.

So here's basically how it works. Every day (starting at midnight and ending at midnight), they will feature only ONE hot deal for local restaurants, salons, spas, entertainment, adventures, or other services. On Fridays, the deal runs through the weekend. By leveraging "the power of the group," each deal is 50-90% off retail!

The only catch is there is a minimum amount of people that are needed for the daily deal to be "seized." If that number isn't met, nobody is out any money, but no one gets the deal. So if it's something you really want, you should share the details with your friends fast so that you can all reap the benefits.

Since I think this is a great concept that helps local businesses, saves consumers money, and helps stimulate the economy, I've entered a marketing partnership with Seize the Deal and will be highlighting a few of my favorite daily deals as they come up.
