Welcome Groupon Subscribers

Yale will be featured on Groupon on Thursday, January 6. The offer is $100 for $50. I like action based marketing. It's much easier than creating radio spots. You can join Groupon here.

But anyhow, January is an interesting time to buy an appliance. Consumers don't want to purchase after holiday spending. Manufacturers, especially this year, need the sales. New products will be available in June, so inventory needs to be moved.

Thus, you see this:

Frigidaire $99 dishwasher (after $250 in rebates)..with a Groupon deal, this actually nets to $49.

Boschs' best selling integrated dishwasher $849 (after $200 in rebates).

Frigidaire stainless stove $499 (after $125 in rebates).
