HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill., Oct. 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Sears kicks off the holiday shopping season with exclusive offers for Shop Your Way members, more shopping conveniences including In-Vehicle Pickup, and a holiday campaign featuring Santa and his iconic sleigh.
"Sears first introduced Buy Online Pickup In-Store 14 years ago and changed the game. We continue to bring new services to our members that let them shop wherever and however they choose," said Joelle Maher, President and Chief Member Officer for Sears. "With so many great holiday gift ideas from a refrigerator to a sweater to a drill, our members will want to 'Bring the Sleigh'…and it better be a big one."
