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 now, for the first 
time, we have 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.

We are pleased to inform you that there are now holiday sales circulars from 
twelve chain stores on NFB-NEWSLINE on a temporary basis, stores we have 
never listed before. 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, 2013. 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 twelve retailers come from Albertsons, 
Best Buy, Giant Food, Home Depot, Kohls, Kroger, Publix, Sears, Staples, 
Toys R Us, Walgreens, and Wal-Mart.

The newly added 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, ÃfÂfÃ,¢ÃfÂ,âÂ,¬ÃfÂ,Ã.Â"To read newspapers in a different 
state.ÃfÂfÃ,¢ÃfÂ,âÂ,¬ÃfÂ,Ã, Next, press option five, which is now 
labeled, ÃfÂfÃ,¢ÃfÂ,âÂ,¬ÃfÂ,Ã.Â"Holiday Shopping 
AdvertisementsÃfÂfÃ,¢ÃfÂ,âÂ,¬ÃfÂ,Ã, 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.

We encourage all of you to contact us to let us know how you used these new 
ads and whether you found them to be helpful. We would like to make most of 
the weekly advertisements from all these stores permanent, and we need your 
input. Your testimonials can help us identify which store ads are most 
helpful and useful, and how we can make them better. 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 can keep us informed by calling 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 new service, and if you have suggestions, or have contacts with any 
of these corporations for us.
