This year, it’ll be easier than ever to snag the deals you’re looking for with Amazon’s new “Watch a Deal” feature, which allows shoppers to get notifications on their mobile devices when deals they’re watching go live.

“Customers can truly sit back and relax with their family and friends this holiday season knowing that they will be notified as soon as the products they’ve had their eye on are about to go on sale,” said Steve Shure, vice president of Amazon Consumer Marketing. “Year after year, more and more customers shop for deals on Amazon from the comfort of their own home, and we continue to make that process even more convenient for them. And with App Only Deals, customers will have plenty of options when it comes to scoring great deals from Amazon.”
