Release Summary: Black Friday and Cyber Monday mark the beginning
of the holiday rush for both retailers and consumers. However, it's
not too late -- even now -- to prepare for happy festivities. Gonicofish.com
tells shoppers how to manage the rest of the season, as well as
spot the best bargains and coupons.

Release Body: Detroit, Michigan. From November 25, consumers will
have only 27 days to prepare for Christmas, 28 days left to prepare
for Kwanzaa, and a scant 4 days left to prepare for the beginning
of Hanukkahs. If shoppers didn’t get everything done on Black
Friday or Cyber Monday, the traditional days of retail bargains
and holiday decorating, they still have time to pull together happy
festivities. Michigan entrepreneur, Gina Bassman,
is on a mission to help shoppers conserve time and money during
the rest of the holiday rush.
“I
love working with Fortune 500 companies and quality boutiques to
bring customers savings online,” says Bassman,
founder and CEO of Gonicofish.com Bassman’s company
is a free resource for online consumers. Visitors to the site can
quickly spot the best item for the best price from among the offerings
of over 1,000 carefully selected merchants. Shoppers can browse
by merchant, by item, or by selecting one of twenty-five product
categories.
Gonicofish.com, one of the web’s most innovative
shopping sites, offers consumers these tips for proceeding smoothly
to a happy holiday celebration.
1) If you haven’t already, spend a few
moments by yourself or with family members thinking about what
you value most at this time of year? Faith? Time with your immediate
family? A time to catch up with extended family? Friends, neighbors,
and community? The holiday season presents plenty of opportunities
to spend time and money. Set your schedule and your budget according
to your top priorities. Don’t be afraid to say no to those
things which would distract from your set goal and that would
also add stress to an already busy season.
2) Next, evaluate where you stand according to
your overall holiday budget. How much have you spent so far? How
much do you have left to spend? Estimate how much you can allot
for any remaining gifts, travel, decorations, cards, holiday meals,
and entertaining that you will need to pay for. Scale your estimations
to your financial situation. Even if you have only a little money
to spend, you can make it go a long way by shopping wisely.
3) Now, make a list of all that you still need
to accomplish by the time the big day rolls around. Be realistic
about the amount of extra time you have in your schedule for things
such as decorating, shopping, writing cards, and attending holiday
events. Divide your overall tasks into small steps, and work steadily
down your list. Try to accomplish at least one or two goals a
day.
4) While you are planning, make a list of all
persons whose gifts you haven’t yet purchased. (If you haven’t
even started your shopping yet, that’s fine.) Using your
overall budget as a guide, jot down a dollar amount by each person’s
name. Also, write down one or two gift ideas as well. If you have
a hard time deciding what to get for a particular individual,
visit a site like Gonicofish.com for gift ideas.
5) With your list in hand, methodically work
through your shopping list. Visit Internet sites such as Gonicofish.com
to find great prices, as well as to save the time and hassle of
hitting the malls. Remember, though Black Friday is past, you
can find great bargains throughout the holiday season. So, don’t
feel pressured to accomplish all of your shopping in one day.
Do be sure, however, to take into account how long it will take
to have an item shipped or mailed.
6) Don’t forget to use the Internet’s
“buried treasure” – those elusive coupon codes
that allow consumers to shave anywhere from the cost of shipping
to huge percentages off of purchases. There are a number of ways
to locate coupon codes, but the easiest and most reliable method
is to visit a site, such as Gonicofish.com, that
updates and cleans up its information on at least a monthly basis.
Coupon codes have expiration dates, but are often still found
on the net long after they are no longer valid. You don’t
want to waste time chasing down bargains that no longer apply.
7) Don’t forget to look for printable coupons,
as well. These are coupons that you can find on Internet sites,
such as Gonicofish.com, print out, and take with
you to a brick-and-mortar store to save on a purchase. Another
way to find printable coupons is to visit a merchant’s own
site. This time of year should be a time of celebration and not
stress. Planning carefully will help the holidays be happy
