It’s an Egg-selent Time of Year

This week marks the start of a great time of year: Easter and the beginning of Spring! Days are getting longer, tempratures across the country are rising, and folks are preparing for Easter.

Easter, also known as Resurrection Sunday, is a holiday celebrated by Chistians around the world that marks the ressurection of Jesus. Apart from being an important religious holiday, it’s an important family holiday, too. Many Americans have family traditions that they take part in to celebrate. For example, do you remember waiting in line at the mall to meet the Easter Bunny? How about hunting for Easter Eggs with your friends or cousins at a large family gathering? Easter has become such a popular holiday, that now many non-Christians love celebrating the day by partaking in child-friendly activities like painting Easter eggs, hunting for Easter eggs, or gathering the family together to eat a nice meal of traditional Easter food, like turkey or lamb.

Dress the part and celebrate on DealDash

Easter is not just a holiday that has traditional activities; there are traditional Easter outfits, too! Many folks remember their parents or grandparents forcing them to wear bright pastel-colored jumpers or shirts. And some, especially those from the south, know all about the importance of the Easter Dress. Way back when, traditional Easter clothing consited of white linen robes, which sybbolized the rebirth of Christ. But over time, the white robes slowly changed into pink shirts and pastel-blue shirts. More casual Easter clothing now can be just about any piece of clothing that features the Easter Bunny.

Here at DealDash, we are ready to celebrate Easter, too! And while we will not be organizing any egg painting contests or hosting a meet-and-greet with the Easter Bunny, we will be offering an action-packed weekend of auctions and promotions that saavy shoppers will love! So put down the Easter Eggs and chocolate for now, and jump on DealDash to celebrate Easter with us!

Let’s Work Together To Help a Noble Cause

The holidays should be the happiest time of the year. A time where people can come together to create special moments as the stress of everyday life fades away. Unfortunately, not everyone experiences the holidays this way. How can someone worry about what New Year’s party to attend when their home was destroyed by a natural disaster?

Sometimes it’s too easy to forget about the struggles that others are facing. In an effort to try and make the Holiday Season as good as it can be for those going through tough times, we are working with the American Red Cross to assist those in need. And we want you to help by participating in a very special promotion this Thursday.

DealDash will donate the fnal sum of all auction wins (excluding car auctions) that are paid for on December 15th to the American Red Cross. This means that you can donate to a very special cause simply by bidding and winning as you normally do. Just pay for your wins on December 15th and we will take care of the rest.

More about the American Red Cross

This year, we are proud to be able to help the American Red Cross in their mission. If you are not familiar with the values of the American Red Cross, their mission statement is worth reading. To summarize, the American Red Cross follows a set of values that they call the “Five Cs”: Compassionate, Credible, Collaborative, Committed, and Creative.

They are compassionate in serving those in need and treating them with care and respect.

They are credible in that they act with integrity and are transparent.

They are collaborative by partnering with outside organizatoins and companies, and embracing diversity and inclusiveness.

And lastly, they are creative in seeking out new ways to serve those in need.

These are inspiring values that we here at DealDash are proud to contribute to. And we sincerely hope that you will join us in our mission this year to help the American Red Cross.

The Biggest Holiday Week of the Year

Today marks the start of a special week for Americans. It’s the week where you can watch giant floats of your favorite cartoon characters march through the streets of New York in the annual Macy’s Parade. It’s the week where an estimated 46 million turkeys are eaten across the USA. And last but not least, it’s the week where over 140 million Americans wake up early and go battle the crowds as most businesses hold their largest sales events of the year.

If you haven’t figured it out yet, it’s Thanksgiving and Black Friday Week!

You probably have a good idea about how to celebrate Thanksgiving; the main star of the day should be food. Turkey, mashed potatoes, carrot casarol , stuffing, bread rolls, and pumpkin pie…these are the familiar culinary staples that grace most American tables on Thanksgiving day. Apart from the food, there are other annual Thanksgiving traditions too. The Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys have been playing football games on Thanksgiving day since 1934! The link between Thanksgiving and Football is so deep, that once the New York Herald Newspaper called Thanksgiving the official holiday for watching football.

But what about Black Friday? How should you be celebrating the massive shopping day that takes place the Friday immediately after Thanksgiving? It’s obvious that you will be shopping, but where? What are the best Black Friday traditions? If you ask us, there is no need for you to wake up early, drive all around town and battle crowds this Black Friday. Instead, sleep in, have a leisurely breakfast, and go shopping from the comfort of your own home on DealDash!

This Year we have put together a Black Friday Sale that is the shopping event of the year! And best of all, unlike most stores that limit their Black Friday events to a single day, our Black Friday Sale is lasts all week!

Cyber Monday Week Is Still Here!

Do you have the Black Friday blues? Are you afraid that the best shopping days of the year have passed you by? After all, the biggest shopping day of the year for brick and mortar stores, Black Friday, has come and gone. And Cyber Monday, the biggest day of the year for online shopping, is over this year, too. Cyber Monday takes place every year on the Monday that follows Thanksgiving. This year it was on November, 29th. It is the day when online retailers offer their biggest discounts of the year to try and entice holiday shoppers. It is a relatively new event, having been around for only 16 years or so. In fact, the original iteration of Cyber Monday looked a bit different.

A computer screen searched for Cyber Monday Deals on the internet. — If you are sad that Cyber Monday is over, check out DealDash this week!

One online flower shop tried marketing White Wednesday as a shopping event for Americans to enjoy before Thanksgiving, but it did not catch on. Perhaps folks were too worried about what stuffing recipe they were going to use, or if deep frying their turkey would be a tasty idea, or just a terrible one.

You might be asking why you are reading all about Cyber Monday if it has already passed this year. It’s a bit early to get excited for Cyber Monday 2022-edition, right? Well, good news. The DealDash Team realized that all the promotions, auctions and deals for Cyber Monday could not be packed into a single day, so we extended our celebrations to be an entire week! Right now on DealDash it is Cyber Monday Week, so pull up a chair and pull out your favorite bidding device and get on DealDash ASAP to see what all the fuss is about!

Follow the leader

One exciting part of DealDash’s Cyber Monday Week Sale is the Leaderboard Auctions. Leaderboard Auctions are a special twist on the normal DealDash auctions that you know and love.

These auctions work as normal, but with one special twist; a leaderboard has been added to the auction page! The leaderboard will display the name of the bidders who have collected the most TAHB (Time as Highest Bidder) in that auction.

A chalk board with talleys keep track of the score during a competition — Leaderboard Auctions track the amount of TAHB time bidders earn in an auction and reward the top finishers!

When the auction ends, the three bidders who have collected the most TAHB in that auction will earn additional bid rewards!

More free bids during Cyber Monday Week

Cyber Monday Week on DealDash gives you the opportunity to earn more free bids than normal! Each day, the Time As Highest Bidder meter has a bonus multiplier attached to it. Some days it is 2X, other days it is 3X, and if you happen to visit DealDash on the right day during Cyber Monday Week, you will see even a 4X multiplier!

Just bid in the auctions as you normally do, and collect 2X, 3X or 4X on your TAHB meter!

Just visit DealDash.com or open up the DealDash App on your favorite device to get in on the Cyber Monday Week excitement. The best time to do your holiday shopping is now, so what are you waiting for?
