Santa delivers access to holiday shopping ads on NFB-NEWSLINE

Take Your Holiday Gift Lists and Log on to NFB-NEWSLINE to Find Some 
Holiday Shopping Deals!

As the snow starts to fall around some parts of the country, and the 
holiday shopping season begins ever earlier and with more deals than 
ever before, we here at NFB-NEWSLINE have been working to make the 
shopping season more fun and affordable for you. We are pleased to 
announce that we have once again added sales deals and information from 
a number of chain stores from around the country to NFB-NEWSLINE in 
order to help you save some money during this buying and giving time of 
the year.

This holiday season, there are holiday sales circulars from nine chain 
stores on NFB-NEWSLINE on a temporary basis, as we did last year. We see 
great benefit in providing this information to our subscribers; 
unfortunately this effort is very manually intensive and we will be only 
able to offer these newly added sales circulars on NFB-NEWSLINE until 
December 31, 2014. Sale circulars for Target, which have been on 
NFB-NEWSLINE since July 2011, will continue to be offered with no 
service interruption.

The sales circulars of the additional nine retailers come from Giant 
Food, Home Depot, Kohls, Publix, Sears, Staples, Toys R Us, Walgreens, 
and Wal-Mart.

These holiday sales circulars are linked to the zip code of your state 
sponsor and cannot be changed on an individual basis as can be done with 
the Target sales circular. Therefore, the listing of the ten closest 
stores for each one of the newly added sales circulars may not be an 
exact listing of the closest ten stores to your location. Please note 
that you may experience a slight discrepancy in products and pricing 
being offered at your local store in comparison with the circular being 
presented on NFB-NEWSLINE. We encourage our subscribers to check with 
their local store to determine exact product availability and pricing.

To access the new holiday sales circulars on the telephone portion of 
NFB-NEWSLINE, go to the main menu to press the number five, which is 
labeled, To read newspapers in a different state. Next, press option 
five, which is now labeled, Holiday Shopping Advertisements and follow 
the prompts to select your favorite retailer.

Currently sales circulars are only available on the telephone portion of 
NFB-NEWSLINE, iPhone users wishing to have the sales circulars displayed 
on their device while shopping can login to the telephone portion of 
NFB-NEWSLINE, find the retailer of their choice and then, while 
listening to a section of interest, press the pound nine key combination 
to have that section of the circular e-mailed to them.

Do you find these ads useful? In order to make weekly advertisements 
from these stores permanent, we need your assistance. Here is how you 
can help:

1) Call or email us. Your testimonials can help us identify which store 
ads are most helpful and useful, and how we can make them better. They 
can also be very persuasive when speaking with retailers who might be 
interested in sponsoring this service year round.

2) Know someone who might be helpful? Please also let us know if you 
have contacts or connections with any managerial level staff members at 
any of these retailers so we can make an attempt to permanently carry 
their circular on NFB-NEWSLINE.

You may call our comment line at 410-505-5896 to leave us a voice 
message, or send an e-mail to nfbnewsline at nfb.org. We look forward to 
hearing from you about how you use this holiday ad service, and if you 
have suggestions, or have contacts with any of these corporations for us.

Thank you for using NFB-NEWSLINE and Happy Holidays to you all!
