HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill.,
April 7, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Just in
time for spring, Sears has expanded its "Meet With An Expert"
service to the Lawn and Garden department to help shoppers make
more informed outdoor equipment purchases. This free service lets
online shoppers save time by scheduling in-store appointments with
experts who will already know the products they're interested in
and help them find the right lawn and garden equipment for their
home's needs.
Coinciding with the launch, Sears has announced its first-ever
"Spring It On Black Friday" event April
22-23, offering deals for the entire home at Black
Friday-level pricing.
"From finding the right type of mower to a more powerful trimmer
to the perfect-sized shed and more, Meet With An Expert takes the
guesswork out of shopping for lawn and garden products," said
Joelle Maher, President and Chief
Member Officer for Sears. "Our new 'Spring It On Black Friday' sale
event is a great time to meet these experts and get incredible
deals on everything to get yards in shape for spring – many items
at the lowest price we've ever offered. Green is the new
black!"
