“The Seattle Times dealDIGGER will be a great way for consumers in our market to find products and services at extraordinary savings,” Alan Fisco, Seattle Times senior vice president for Sales and Marketing, said in a news reelase. “This new product also allows local area businesses to reach out to consumers who may be unaware of their offerings and to build sales and product awareness.”

What can you say about this. Golfing is out of control! With the latest press releases and Tiger Woods stories, people are running to the sport and wanting great deals daily. IDealGolfer.com is pushing up daily deals for sports finest and pulling in great numbers. We foresee this group buying niche to expand quickly by word of mouth and around the courses.

Currently, iDealGolfer.com only offers specials for the Dallas and Fort Worth areas, but soon the site will start offering similar deals in the Texas Hill Country on December 1, followed by discounts in Houston, Colorado, and Phoenix soon after.

Oh, and one other thing: an inside source says a well-known, three-lens sunglasses system designed for golfers will be the deal of the day sometime next week. The price? Under $20.

Today’s launch of “8moms” the enticing group buying deal site geared toward sophisticated and savvy moms  was a success. 8moms unique approach to group buying makes it fun and interesting. Each exclusive deal will be presented by one of 8 ‘mom’ avatars, each with her own personality and style. Kidville named “best of” by New York Magazine and given a five star “extraordinary” customer rating in The Lila Guide: New Parent Survival Guide. It has been a pleasure working with such as smart sophisticated team and a great eye for design and marketing.

Andy and Shari Stenzler talk about founding Kidville.
