We have been working with the team at Toys”R”Us to create a shareable widget from their significant set of special deals and offers -
and launched the Toys”R”Us My Deals Widget just before Black Friday.
Managing Offers with Real-time Updates
In addition to presenting the latest deals in 10 different categories, the widget also allows Toys”R”Us to present a Special Offer (at the bottom), which is managed via our Sidecar tool.
Most Popular in iGoogle and Facebook
While the widget can be placed nearly anywhere (thanks to our partners at Clearspring), it has gotten the most installs on people’s iGoogle Desktops and in Facebook.
A Version for Mobile and iPhone Browsers
Given the increasing number of customers browsing from their mobile phones, Toys”R”Us felt it was important to have a “mobile-friendly” version available as well.
It has been a lot of fun working with their team – and here’s hoping for a good Holiday shopping season!
