The Holidays are over, many Americans have spent a lot of money on gifts and Holiday parties etc.. It seems like the mindset most consumers get in after the Holidays is a mindset of looking for big discounts and coupons for their favorite stores.

In past years, I have seen conversions actually increase in some instances after the Holiday shopping frenzy. This happens on merchants who offer the deep discounts and large coupons on the inventory they did not sell over the fourth quarter.

For instance, iFrogz.com offered 40% off all purchases from December 25 to January 1. Stack this with the 15% off coupon available at CouponPouch.com and you save 55% on any order. That was enough to trigger me to order an iFrogz skin for all of the iPods in the house.

Another good example is Lids.com offering a 20% off coupon on orders over $75 plus free ground shipping. This is indeed a great offer with the NCAA Bowl season in full force.

Keep an eye out for these special deals. They usually last throughout the month of January and are often one of the best promotions of the year for some of your best merchant partners.
