November 1st is quickly approaching, and we all know what that means - the biggest shopping weekend of the year is just around the corner! Hip, Hip, Hooray!

In preparation for the Black Friday/Cyber Monday weekend (November 27 – November 30), we will be creating a special Deals and Coupons Database specifically featuring deals for this weekend. And since it wouldn’t be much of a database without any data, we’re calling out to our ShareASale merchants to collect exclusive Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals and doorbusters.

If you have a deal for the Black Friday sales push, we would be happy to help market it to the ShareASale affiliates. Simply email me the details of your deal (see format below) no later than November 18, 2009. We will be releasing the deals to the affiliates on November 20. My email is Sarah(at)ShareASale(dot)com.

Please provide coupon details in the following format:

Merchant Name
Offer
Coupon Code (if applicable)
Landing Page
Offer Type (% off, $ off, F/S, Free Gift, Doorbuster)
Start and End Date
ShareASale Merchant ID
