Make Money with TheStreet, Get the Best for It with TheSpend

NEW YORK, Nov. 22, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- TheStreet, Inc. (NASDAQ: TST), a leading financial news and information provider, announced today that will launch a new consumer products social vertical called TheSpend.

The National Retail Federation predicts that 6 in 10 Americans – an estimated 137.4 million people – plan to shop this Thanksgiving weekend. Of them, nearly 8 in 10 are millennials, significantly higher than adults 35+. Debuting across all major social networks on Black Friday and reporting throughout the year, TheSpend will highlight the latest offerings from retailers, consumer goods manufacturers and service companies with a focus on market-changing features and pricing.

"For two decades, TheStreet has been producing news and market analysis to educate and empower individual investors. TheSpend taps into the same reporting power to help consumers become smarter shoppers," said Tara Murphy, Editor-in-Chief of TheStreet, Inc. "TheSpend focuses on what market movers are doing at the consumer level and will uncover the best products and pricing."

TheSpend's real time coverage of Black Friday kicks off at daybreak on Thanksgiving with TheStreet's Brian Sozzi visiting mega retailers to report on the year's most sought-after gifts and the crowd's reaction to the sales. Coverage will continue throughout the weekend and into Cyber Monday as the country, and TheSpend's reporters, move online to share the best products and prices they can find.
