What Matters Most This Time Of Year

The holiday season can be tough. There are gifts to buy, people to see, and things to do. All of that on top of day to day responsibilities that don’t go anywhere, either. Unfortunately, the 2020 holiday season is a very difficult time for folks all over the country. Many Americans have lost their jobs because of the economic problems caused by COVID, and they don’t know what to do. For them, the holidays are not so much about gift giving and seeing family.

We try to go above and beyond to help make the holidays easier for our customers.

The holidays are about trying to scrape by. Here at DealDash, we believe that the true spirit of the holidays is helping as many folks enjoy the season as possible. We aim to go above and beyond whenever possible to deliver top notch service to our customers and also help make the holiday season a bit easier. We call these situations Christmas miracles, and to help you get in the spirit of the holidays, we want to share a few of our Christmas miracles with you.

The Importance of This Cheap Item May Surprise You…

Try to imagine for a moment that you need to spend the night outside. What would you take with you to prepare? A heavy jacket and sloe gloves? Maybe a sleeping bag? Some food to snack on would be nice. Whatever you decide on taking with you, spending the night away from the comfort of your own bed does not sound very nice. Unfortunately, this is the harsh reality that over half-a-million Americans face every night, according to an official report published by the U.S Government. And believe it or not, the most in-demand item for folks that have to sleep rough is not a heavy jacket or even a sleeping bag, but socks.

Daily Free Christmas Gift Countdown!

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, everywhere you go! Michael Bublé, and a few other artists, have sang these words, and this time of year, it’s true! It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas, indeed. The lights have been hung, trees are perched in living rooms around America, and most families (and hopefully you too!) are enjoying some eggnog, gingerbread, and other Christmas treats. Unless you got your shopping done early, you are probably searching for cheap Christmas presents online. Some folks are enjoying receiving some Christmas presents already by opening an Advent Calendar, a traditional gift that has a box that is opened each day of December to reveal a small surprise.

Have you ever opened an Advent Calendar? They date all the way back to the mid 1800’s where pieces of candy were attached to a piece of wood and given to children. The idea is that each day, a box could be opened to reveal a new piece of candy, and that is pretty much how they work today! Nowadays there are countless types of Christmas calendars that gift everything from candy to cosmetics! If you have never had an Advent Calendar, don’t fret; we have you covered with our 11 Days of DealDash promotion that is just like, you guessed it, a countdown to Christmas. Simply log in each day starting on December 13th and claim a free gift that will help you strike deals online at DealDash.com!

The Best Deals Continue During Cyber Monday Week!

Black Friday has come and gone. Many retailers were left disappointed and waiting for crowds of people that never materialized. Black Friday sales plummeted this year compared to previous years and were down over 50%! While sales numbers have dropped for traditional stores, online companies like DealDash are thriving. Shopify, a company that hosts websites for thousands of brands around the word, announced global sales numbers of $2.4 billion—a 75% increase from last year!

A normal DealDash auction has just one winner. Usually, that is. Recently we introduced a new promotion called the Runner-Up Discount that revolutionized online auctions by rewarding the second place finisher with a reduced Buy It Now Price! For example, let’s say you came in second place in an auction for a handbag. After the auction ends, you will receive a discounted Buy It Now offer for 50% the original price.

Check Out What The New DealDash TV Ad Reveals!

One way to start a debate, or perhaps even an argument, is to ask someone what their favorite TV show is. Many 90’s kids like myself will say that The Simpsons is the best show. Folks who like a bit of drama might reply with General Hospital, which ran for 58 seasons and has over 14,000 episodes! And those all over the country have their favorite news channels; be it a nationwide or a local channel – it has become an important part of their routine. One thing that people can agree on is this; TV commercials are the worst! They always seem to interrupt our favorite shows during the most important moments, and sometimes they seem to go on forever. And worst of all, there are teams of experts and psychologists designing commercials to make them intentionally annoying or memorable!

Is this really that hard to believe considering that most of us can recite parts of advertisements that we saw decades ago? (I’m lovin’ it!) Don’t get discouraged and turn off your TV just yet. There are some TV ads that are actually viewable. A lot of folks tune into the Super Bowl just for the iconic TV commercials, which cost millions of dollars to make, and even more money to air. The new DealDash TV commercial, airing just in time for Black Friday 2020, is also something that should not be missed. So if you are lucky enough to catch it while watching your favorite show, make sure to pay attention!

Stuck At Home? Turn To Alternative Online Bidding Sites!

New cases of COVID-19 are on the rise across the United States which means that Americans will be forced to change their habits for the time being. Instead of grabbing a drink at your favorite restaurant, you will be grabbing dinner via curbside pick-up. Perhaps your favorite college football team does not have any games scheduled and you have to watch TV instead. And if you want to do some window shopping at the mall, you will probably find a lot of your favorite stores are closed. Maybe it’s time to pick up on some alternative online bidding sites?

Alternative online bidding sites like DealDash are open 24/7.
This sign is becoming an all-too-familiar sight for many shoppers.

Even if people are forced to stay at home and businesses are ordered to shut their doors, life goes on, right? Kids will still expect some Christmas magic and maybe a pile of presents. Many adults will expect some Thanksgiving magic and dream of turkey with all the trimming – pandemic or not.

Yes, there are still plenty of things that need to be done, and with normal life disrupted, many folks are trying new things, like online bidding site alternatives, to eliminate boredom and prepare for the holidays. DealDash is a great place to start your journey into the world of online auctions, and DealDash prides itself on being the longest running and loved pay-to-participate bidding site in the US!

Only the Best Parts of Shopping

Online bidding sites are nothing new. DealDash has been around since 2009 and folks have a lot of nice things to say about DealDash! DealDash and other online shopping destinations are busier than ever because of the lockdowns and restrictions caused by COVID-19. 2020 might have changed how Americans shop forever! Even though its annoying to find the mall closed when you really need to buy something, many people are happy that they shifted to online bidding site alternatives. DealDash offers promotions and savings that traditional stores can’t match.

Online shopping is on the rise and offers an experience that traditional stores can’t.

DealDash’s unique pay-to-patriciate format makes this possible. To bid in a DealDash auction, you first need to buy bids. If you use your bids in an auction and don’t win, you have the option to purchase the item for the Buy It Now price to get both the item you were bidding on and the bids you used returned to you. This is called the Buy It Now feature. It is one of many things that make DealDash a popular alternative online bidding and shopping place.
