HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill., Nov. 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Sears.com is helping to make holiday shopping more enjoyable with its new People's Pick online feature that allows customers to vote on which popular items should go on sale each week. Weekly through Dec. 24, 2011, customers can vote for products within select categories every Sunday through Tuesday at Sears.com/pick, for incredible limited-time savings online and in-stores nationwide.

"As families are looking for ways to stretch their budgets, especially during the holidays, we are adding new services and programs that empower our customers to make smart shopping decisions," said Monica Woo, Vice President, Chief Marketing Officer at Sears. "The Sears People's Pick feature allows our customer to win—by getting the most value for their money on the products they want."
