I love ShopItToMe.com -- even wrote about it way back when Discount Diva first launched. If you missed it then, here's the abbreviated recap: Shop It To Me is a free email service that notifies you when the clothing you like (from your fave stores/designers, in your specific size!) goes on sale. It's genius, really.
I just met the creator of Shop It To Me, Charlie Graham, who also happens to be a research nut. I asked him (thinking I'd stump him) what's the best day to find a dress on sale online. Without hesitation he said, "Fridays are the biggest discount days for dress. If you shop for dresses online on sale on Fridays you'll save on average 42%, compared to Saturdays when you only save an average of 34%."
I was dumbfounded. How did he know that! "We analyzed the market," Charlie said. Then, he proceeded to rattle off a smorgasbord of best-time-to-shop-for-sales info that I'm now going to share with you. Enjoy!
