Deal or Bust

                                                                                         
                             
                      
Today I am giving a BIG shout out to my friends that are living and shopping in the Las Vegas area.
 
Do you like saving money and getting a deal?
Do you like supporting local business?
Do you like being able to give back to a local charity?
I say YES to all three but if you said yes to even one of these then you will want to check out Deal or Bust.

I'm sure you've all heard of Groupon, well Deal or Bust is similar but even better.  It is FREE to SIGN UP for notification of the deals.  Each day a different DEAL will be offered at a great discount to you.  If the predetermined number of deals available that day is reached then it's considered a BUST and one randomly chosen person gets their DEAL for FREE!  The bonus is that a percentage of every DEAL goes to the featured non-profit charity that day.  Wow it's a WIN WIN for everyone!  

My friends Jason and Kristin Smith have been researching and planning this deal site for the past two years.  They dealt with Groupon in their own business and know the ins and outs and worked very hard to make this even better.  The big bonus is that EVERYTHING is local to the Las Vegas Valley.  They are business people here in the Las Vegas community and have a great desire to give back to it for very personal reasons.  That is how Deal or Bust was born.  Take a minute to read the story behind them and their passions and you will learn more about Deal or Bust and how it works.  Also if you are a small business owner in Las Vegas you can contact them to be included if you want to offer a DEAL and get new business to your shop.


                                                

PLEASE be sure to follow Deal of Bust on FACEBOOK and/or TWITTER to see what the new deal is every day!  I just took a peek at today's deal and it's a good one!  I actually had the chance to meet the really nice couple who own the business that is featured for today's deal, and ladies can I just say that it has to do with shoes and accessories!  Tomorrow's deal is just as good! This is the launch week for DEAL OR BUST and there are many great things to come for this organization, so you won't want to miss out on the deal that is right for you.



                                                   

I am pleased to be part of launching this new great deal site on it's opening week.  Today and for the next couple of days, the non-profit charity that will benefit donations from purchases is MY charity of choice.  It is The Achievement Academy.  I have had the privilege to know and work with these ladies for many years when they started the Aspergers Support Group for the Las Vegas Valley in 2002.  I also watched 4 years ago as they started this non-profit private school, for children in our community that need extra help.  So check it out and watch the deals and purchase one to help the children if you can.  EVERY purchase for the next few days will benefit MY charity.  Thanks!  I love you guys!  So tell me... what is the best deal you have ever received?  I'd really like to hear about it.
