Home Depot, 10/28 — 10% Off Appliances with FREE Delivery & Haul Away
Home Depot gives us our first reference to Daylight Savings. We fall back an hour on Nov. 7. A minor selling occasion to be sure, Daylight Savings has been used by retailers in a variety of fashions over the years. Promoting watches and clocks are a favorite. Norm Thompson has offered free clocks as an incentive (see Oct. 30, 2009 AM Inbox), Brookstone has promoted clocks that automatically adjust to the right time (see Feb. 26, 2008 AM Inbox), and SmartBargains has used the occasion to have a watch sale. Disney Store has probably had the most fun with the day, using the White Rabbit from Alice in Wonderland as their ambassador (see Mar. 20, 2008 AM Inbox). Retailers have also included reminders for subscribers to change the batteries in their smoke detectors, which is the tactic that Home Depot leverages in this email. But they put an eco-friendly twist on it by suggesting it as a good time to also switch out your old light bulbs for energy-efficient ones.
