Amazon to text frugal shoppers
Amazon is rolling out a new feature to keep cost-conscious consumers shopping this holiday season.
The online retailer today announced Daily Deal Text Alerts that will send the company's Deal of the Day to a mobile phone.
People receiving the text alerts can buy an item directly from their phone, or follow a link to Amazon's mobile website to look at the product.
Amazon is taking other steps to juice holiday sales. The company has introduced online shopping guides featuring low-priced holiday decorations and gifts and a Universal Wish List that lets people add products from any website to their Amazon Wish List.
The economic downturn's impact on online sales is a key question for Amazon and other web retailers this holiday season.
