Target Flip Flops again: Will be price matching online retailers this holiday

 

Target has flip flopped on their holiday and Black Friday plans more in the last month than your favorite warm-weather footwear did all summer.

Target Price Matching for holiday season

At the beginning of September Target announced that they were backing out of the holiday price wars and would not be playing the low price game with their competitors this year. Then, around the end of September, Target announced that they would in fact be joining Best Buy, Walmart, and pretty much every other store in America in participating in Black Friday.

Over the weekend we reported that Best Buy would be price matching online competitors in efforts to cut down on losses due to “Showrooming”.  Now, according to Mashable, Target  has said they will be doing the same. Showrooming is when customers go to Target to check out the products that they’re thinking of buying, but then leave the store after looking at it to go buy it online for a better price. The Target store becomes a show room for the online store. To keep this from happening, Target will be price matching select online retailers such as amazon.com, BestBuy.com, Toysrus.com, Babiesrus.com, and their own site, target.com.  Just like with Best Buy’s price matching, there are a few rules.

Target Black Friday Doorbuster Preview!

Target is rumored to have released a 12-item Black Friday Doorbuster preview. Since this does say it is a “preview” we think they will announce some even hotter deals when the 2011 Target Black Friday Ad is officially released. We haven’t seen an actual scan for this yet, so it may end up being like the rumor we saw in October. We want to point out that several of the rumors in October ended up on this list, but with lower prices– so this could end up being a great preview of what is to come!

Some highlights from this 2011 Target Black Friday Doorbuster Preview include:2011 Target Black Friday Preview

  • Element 40″ 1080p 60Hz LCD HDTV for $265
  • Westinghouse 46″ 1080p 60Hz LCD HDTV for $298 (Listed October)

30 Days and Counting: Black Friday Retailers Start Rolling Out The Deals

Can you believe it’s only one month until Black Friday?

Standing in line for a Black Friday Sale

It’s just 30 days until Black Friday – are you ready?

If you posted our Black Friday Countdown Widget on your blog, then you probably noticed that there are just thirty days left to get your Black Friday strategy together. For everyone else, though, it may come as a bit of a shock to think that the big day is already so close!

Your favorite retailers are already rolling out their holiday campaigns and announcing shopping perks, though. Here’s a round up of what we’ve seen come out just today!

MacMall Holiday Guide

One of the top online destinations for Apple products at discounted prices, MacMall has rolled out their 2011 Holiday Gift Guide. The guide is organized by Top Holiday Deals and Holiday Best-Sellers. Some of their top deals include:

  • 27″ iMac Quad-Core Intel Core i7 2.93GHz, 4GB RAM, 1TB Hard Drive – $1,499.99
  • Apple 13.3″ MacBook Air 2.13GHz, 4GB RAM, 256GB Flash Storage, NVIDIA GeForce 320M – $1,299.00
  • Cisco Flip MinoHD Camcorder, 4GB, 1 Hour – $49.99

Target’s Wants You to Save the Date

Target is still pushing Halloween right now, and according to the one-holiday-at-a-time folks, that makes them actually seem rather sane. However, Target is no dummy, and has launched a “Save the Date” page that presumably will be the place to go for all of their Black Friday announcements. They’ve been experiencing a high number of site visitors today that has occasionally made the page unavailable, so we know people are really excited to see Target Black Friday ads. We’ll be keeping an eye on it for you, so stay tuned!

Walmart’s Holiday Price Matching

Annual Black Friday favorite Walmart announced a Christmas Price Guarantee. If you buy an eligible product between 11/1 and 12/25 and then later find it cheaper somewhere else, Walmart will give you a gift card for the difference. Note the emphasis on the word “eligible”, though – it’s pretty safe to assume that Black Friday items will be excluded. Still, when you include layaway and free shipping on nearly 95% of their products, Walmart is looking like a pretty sweet holiday shopping destination.

Best Buy Offers Free Shipping on Everything

Best Buy announced this morning that they will offer free shipping on everything at bestbuy.com. The free standard shipping offer is good from 11/1 to 12/27 with no minimum purchase required. We expect to be posting a lot of Best Buy deals that take advantage of the free shipping starting November 1st, so be sure to keep an eye on our Black Friday Deals!

Toys ‘R’ Us Will Give Shoppers 10% Back on Holiday Purchases

If you’re a loyalty rewards member at Toys R Us, your holiday toy shopping is looking pretty cool with 10% back in R Us dollars on holiday purchases. Members can earn a 2012 Super Savers Pass when they spend more than $200 during a specified time frame, which unlocks more than $100 in savings including exclusive monthly coupons. Layaway purchases do qualify for rewards points, though all layaway orders must be paid off by 12/4.
