Santa delivers access to holiday shopping ads on NFB-NEWSLINE <br>
<br>
Take Your Holiday Gift Lists and Log on to NFB-NEWSLINE to Find Some
Holiday Shopping Deals!<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
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. <br>
<br>
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
<a href="mailto:nfbnewsline@nfb.org">nfbnewsline@nfb.org</a>. 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. <br>
