All of the followed items can be viewed, easily accessed and managed from a personal AdYourWay page.
"We're turning traditional advertising on its head with AdYourWay," said Friedman. "AdYourWay improves the lives of our customers and is an expansion of Sears' online capabilities that help serve as the foundation for strong connections with them now and into the future."
