Fox 9 Morning Buzz Minnesota

A few days ago, I was sitting in front of my computer with the television in the background set to Fox 9 News. Out of the corner of my eye, I see the television showing our URL: SuddenDeals.com. It's a great feeling to be getting publicity when you don't plan for it. I guess we're now at a new level-- a level I like. :) Special thanks to the Cheap Chick Erin Schnider (http://www.thecheapchick.com) and the Fox 9 Morning Buzz Team Alex and Jason!

Jiffy Lube has Sudden Deals-- In a way...

Recently, I read an article in the Twin Cities Business Magazine talking about Jiffy Lube and how they offer discounts on oil changes to the passing motorists:

http://tcbmag.blogs.com/stateofthebrand/2009/07/jiffylube.html

Essentially, when business is slow, Jiffy Lube sends their employees to stand by a busy street holding a sign offering a discount if the passers by get their oil changed right away. In a sense, Jiffy Lube is offering passing motorists a Sudden Deal-- though limiting themselves to a small area and making the employee really work for his $x/hr!

SuddenDeals.com has been and remains a leader and what we do is starting to be understood and is catching on.
