Saving Money in the Holiday Sales

Everyone loves to take advantage of the lower prices during the holiday sales. In fact, the best day to go shopping for special offers is the day after the actual holiday finishes.

Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving and it is the busiest shopping day of the year. You will get huge savings, but you will need to get up early, be ready to queue and jostle.

Another example is jewellery and St Valentine's Day. Many men buy their wives or girlfriends jewellery during this period as a St Valentine's Day gift. However, in the weeks after St Valentine's Day, you can save a minimum of 30% on the very same pieces of jewellery that were on sale a week before. This is a clear sign that we are being hood-winked on these holiday occasions and that we ought to wait until the actual holiday is finished.

OK, it may not be so romantic to wait, but it must be better to be able to get 30% more gold for your money or to give the same present, but be able to go for a meal too. If I were a woman, I know which option I would choose!

Or, instead of a nice silver or gold ring, you would be able to pay for gold instead of silver or white gold instead of yellow. You could get a gorgeous Celtic knot or a Claddagh ring instead of a plain band.

Beautiful Easter outfits are also pricey before Easter. However, why not buy the items you want after Easter and either make use of them next year or use them for parties, special occasions or church? You can save a lot of money in this way, just by using a little forward planning.

In order to help reduce how much money you spend on Christmas presents, why not try buying them all year long as and when you find something appropriate in the sales? How many times have you come across something in a sale and said to yourself: 'that would be the perfect present for so-and-so'? It is better to take advantage of these chances and keep the items aside for when the right occasion comes up.

Then there are those post Christmas sales as well. The Boxing Day sales are a great opportunity to pick up things that you can give as presents later in the year. And why not buy something for yourself too while you are at it? You can save a fortune on your favourite scents. Buy enough to last you the rest of the year!

You can make your budget go a lot further if you take advantage of the after holiday sales. Rely on providence. Buy opportunistically and you will not only save yourself a lot of money, but you will never be stuck for a present at the last minute either.

Is Scarcity Ethical For a Digital Product?

A lot of people just getting into Internet marketing think that scarcity for a digital product is unethical. There reasoning is thus. Since it's digital, there is no limit to the number of copies that can be sold. In fact, you could sell a digital product forever. So what's the point of saying, "Only 100 will be sold" when you could easily sell many more? The answer is simple. Actually, there are quite a few answers. Let's start with this one.

Sometimes a product is created that has certain tactics in it that, if too many people were to get a hold of those tactics, if would make them less effective. So, what a product creator does in order to prevent this from happening is he tells people that he is only releasing a certain number of the product itself. This way, the prospects can feel secure in knowing that not too many people are going to be getting their hands on this, thus making the product virtually worthless. That's one reason for scarcity on digital products.

Another reason is because of economics. A product creator probably realizes that he's only going to sell so many of the product anyway, especially if it's a specialized product. So by limiting the number of copies, he can charge a higher price for it than if he had just let an unlimited number go. Usually, however, this WILL go hand in hand with the value of the information at a limited release. Few product creators will limit something just to make more money from it, though it does happen. And to that end, there is nothing unethical about it. The product creator by limiting the number sold is limiting his income in the process anyway. So a higher price is certainly a fair exchange.

Finally, there is something that many people don't really understand. Sometimes a product creator will limit the number released simply to see who is REALLY serious about purchasing it. Most people, if they know they can get a product at any time, will just take their sweet time about it and some may never purchase. By limiting the number OR by attaching a cutoff date to the sale, the product creator forces people to make a decision. There is nothing unethical about this. Look at all the auto dealers and other retail establishments that have one day sales. Black Friday is a perfect example.

In my opinion, there is nothing at all unethical about scarcity for digital products, whether it be to protect information from getting saturated, seeing who is serious about the product or just wanting to charge a higher price.

D-REX Interactive Dinosaur

No longer are dinosaurs only found in museums or the movies - these days there is a very good chance that you'll find one in your very own home! Dinosaur toys are hot! They're also a lot of fun and they give children the chance to let their imaginations run wild! Considering how many museums have dinosaur fossils as the center piece to their collections, and how many dinosaur cartoons, movies and books there are about dinosaurs, it was only a matter of time before realistic dinosaur toys would be created and available for children everywhere to play with. The D-Rex Interactive Dinosaur is an amazing piece of technology, but more than that - it's an incredibly advanced toy that will give your child many hours of fun and entertainment.

With a fierce facial expression and motorized robotic legs that actually enable D-Rex to walk, this isn't simply a stuffed dinosaur toy that sits still on a bed or couch. The D-Rex Interactive Dinosaur is state of the art, advanced fun. In fact, some critics and initial users have said that the D-Rex is actually the "ultimate pet" - and they aren't too far from the truth! However, different from many electronic "pets", the D-Rex is a bit more fearsome looking and may be a little too scary for very young children. The recommended age for the D-Rex is actually between 6 and 15 years of age.

More than just a title, the D-Rex Interactive Dinosaur is truly interactive. With the built-in ability to respond to both touch and voice signals, this dinosaur will take your child's dinosaur playtime adventures to a whole other level! It is powered by a set of 4 size "C" batters that are in fact included when you purchase the toy, and then there is an additional 2 "AA" batteries that are needed which are not included. Of course, you'll want to have another set of batteries as backup.

More than other electronic toys in this genre, D-Rex Interactive Dinosaur is projected to be the item to purchase during this year's holiday season. It will be a very sought after gift by many parents looking to provide their children with a truly unique and educational toy. With advanced robotics and interactive software, the D-Rex is said to present a rather independent personality that is actually quite loyal to its owner. Use this dinosaur as a guard dog, and it will roar as it walks the perimeter, making sure to let intruders know that it's on patrol!

Another innovation included in the D-Rex Interactive Dinosaur is its reptilian skin that actually feels like reptilian skin. Other toys of this nature don't replicate the realistic rough and leathery skin of dinosaurs that lived millions of years ago. Instead they'll use a soft cloth outer covering that essentially turns their dinosaurs into stuffed animals. Make no mistake - the D-Rex isn't a soft and cuddly toy. It's a vicious and fierce companion and friend! Standing 14 inches tall, 9 inches wide and 21 inches long, he's a formidable miniature dinosaur.

Obviously the original T-Rex that lived millions of years ago and ruled the dinosaurs was many times larger than the D-Rex Interactive Dinosaur. However the D-Rex makes up for his comparatively small stature with a protective disposition and downright raging scowl. Couple this with the fact that he is actually able to respond to both motions and sounds and you have the most realistic toy dinosaur available on the market to date. The D-Rex Interactive Dinosaur is menacing, intimidating, and pure fun on a number of different levels. Smaller children may not be able to handle how fierce this dinosaur truly is!

What Happened In The UK In 1996?

Breaking 1996 down into the biggest news, sports and entertainment events; here's what happened...

Two tragedies hit the hearts of Britons in 1996, the nation's sympathies going out to the people of Dunblane and Manchester. In Dunblane, a crazed gunman went on a shooting spree in at a local infant school, killing an entire class and their teacher. Later in the year, as a direct response to those ill-fated events, the Government announced that it would be outlawing almost all handguns in the UK.

In Manchester, a huge bomb devastated its busy central shopping area just as it was filling up with eager Saturday shoppers. Police managed to start an evacuation before it blew up but scores of people were still killed or injured in the blast. Such was the damage caused, that the episode led to a total regeneration of Manchester city centre.

Also hitting the news in '96 was the introduction of the first genetically modified (or GM) food to go on sale in British supermarkets. Modified tomato puree was the cause of all the fuss with some critics dubbing it a "Frankenstein food".

The world of sport was dominated by England's hosting of the European football championships (Euro '96). The England v Scotland group stage match drew much attention with Gazza's wonder goal eventually stealing the win for the home team. Cheered on by home support, the 'Three Lions' made it all the way to the semi-finals, the nation going football crazy as it looked as if England were really going to win a major tournament for the first time since '66, then, as really should have been expected, they lost on penalties to Germany.

Entertainment wise, carrot topped Chris Evans re-invented the chat show format with his hit show 'TFI Friday'.Presenting celebrity gossip, the hippest bands and lad friendly guests, this unscripted, chaotic program briefly made Evans the most sought after man on TV. Over on the BBC, a group of thirty-something lawyers were gaining huge ratings; 'This Life' being a bit like the American 'Friends' but with much more 'bad' behaviour and saucy goings on.

The big screen was blessed with one of the jewels of the British film-making crown, 'Trainspotting'. Despite featuring heroin, needles, vomit and disgusting toilet bowls, this was the coolest thing of the year and took Ewan McGregor from nowhere to 'Star Wars'. The more family friendly film of 1996 was 'Toy Story'; it being the first feature length movie ever to be animated entirely by computer. The results were quite stunning and people flocked to see 'Woody' (a pull-string cowboy) and 'Buzz Lightyear' (a high-tech space ranger) battle it out to become little Andy's favourite toy.
