Sears brings added expertise to lawn and garden

Sears has expanded its "Meet With An Expert" program to its lawn and garden department, bringing an added touch of service to a crucial spring category.

The free service allows online shoppers to schedule in-store appointments with experts to guide them in making outdoor equipment purchases.

Additionally, Sears is also having its first-ever "Spring It On Black Friday" event April 22-23, offering deals for the entire home at Black Friday-level pricing.

"From finding the right type of mower to a more powerful trimmer to the perfect-sized shed and more, Meet With An Expert takes the guesswork out of shopping for lawn and garden products," said Joelle Maher, president and chief member officer for Sears. "Our new 'Spring It On Black Friday' sale event is a great time to meet these experts and get incredible deals on everything to get yards in shape for spring – many items at the lowest price we've ever offered. Green is the new black!"

For Shop Your Way members, Sears will hold a special Member Private Night so they can shop the "Spring It On Black Friday" sale five days early on Sun., April 17 from 6-9 p.m. and online at sears.com from 5 p.m. Sun., April 17 to 11:59 p.m. Mon, April 18.
