Microsoft is getting into the holiday spirit with its 12 Days of Deals holiday sale. The company was trying to keep its plans under wraps, but the schedule has leaked online.
Instead of just offering a Black Friday sale to kick off the holiday season, Microsoft has also just launched its 12 Days of Deals through its online and retail stores. The promotion is meant to attract customers to Microsoft's stores each day to find out what the company is offering. Microsoft is having a daily deal each day that applies to retail stores and its online store. The company kicked off today's deal by offering a Dell Venue 8 Pro tablet for $99 as a doorbuster deal for the first 20 customers at a Microsoft retail store and $199 when purchasing the tablet from its online store. The promotion begins on Dec. 9 and runs through Dec. 20.
Slickdeals has posted a Microsoft internal document that gives the complete details of the company's holiday promotion for each day. Here's a complete rundown of the schedule:
