It’s that time of the year again. Holiday shopping madness is right around the corner and it starts with one special day: Black Friday. It’s coming soon and this year we should be ready.
Today we are introducing our first Version 2 plug-in: “Black Friday”. Using it you can add and manage the new section to your site where you can post scanned “Black Friday” ads and offers. Plug-in comes with template and admin panel section where you can manage it.
You can see it in action here: http://www.perfect-coupons.com/black-friday
Each “Black Friday” store has an additional info showing for example “Store hours for Friday, Nov 26” , scanned ads and list of all deals with applicable links. http://www.perfect-coupons.com/black-friday/Wal-Mart
We would also like to introduce the special datafeed add-on to fill this section with all Black Friday offers, scanned ads and special info. “Black Friday” feed is available for $100/year.
The plug-in available for free with the “Black Friday datafeed” subscription or $49 if you want to fill the data by yourself.

We are pleased to announce the beta release of our long awaited Deals/Coupons Website Script Version 2.
Its hard to tell what’s new, since everything is new. The new script is faster, easier, and more fun to use.
New completely re-done template engine.
New completely re-done admin panel

We are so glad to announce that we are starting to roll out Version 2 infrastructure. The first step is the all-new, completely redesigned owssoftware.com along with deeply integrated couponsdatafeed.com.

It’s been a while since 1.3.6 went out. Right after it we started with some small enchantments for 1.3.7, then we aligned some admin panel interface changes with overall speed improvement and branch it as 1.4, which eventually become called 1.5 with a long list of very good but unfinished and hardly compatible with each other items here and there.
So we realized that it has to stop. 1.3.6 is a very good and pretty stable version that could live for a while without new fixes. It is also a version that was a product of rapid 1.x.x. development when we cared more about adding new functionality then about how this functionality fits together. It has to retire. And we have to go back to the drawing board and create a brand new software that will be lightning fast, easier to use, and it should be based on our experience and your feedback from all those years.
So we did that, and we are so proud to announce OWS Software Deals and Coupons Website System Version 2.
Version 2 is a major update and it includes everything.
– It’s a completely new OWS Deals/Coupons Website script that is now coming in four different editions including the free one.
– It’s a new owssoftware.com where you finally be able download new releases, upgrade, and re-new your support/updates package.
– It’s a brand new Deals and Coupons Datafeed management site where you can manage your settings and subscriptions. Yes, there is a free (well, sort of) datafeed subscription too.
– It’s an amazing “Links to the Affiliate links” transformation service, which will allow you to make your affiliate link from any link with one click right from the admin panel of your site.
.. and much, much more.
There is no release date set up yet, we are at the final development stage and we are doing a lot of testing, testing again and re-testing.
I will be revealing more details in the next several days, so stay tuned. Right now is the very first screen shot of the new OWS Deals/Coupons Website Admin Panel.
