Worldwide
The e-commerce monolith is featuring products that are marginally related to the inauguration on its home page. (A Colonial Lady Wig, Persol James Bond 007 Sunglasses, A faux fur honey fox shoulder shawl, Are those supposed to be worn together)
To its credit, Amazon.com did make a credible connection to the historic day with its specially created “Inauguration 2009 Bookstore.” This special niche page features the four books authored by the president-elect, Obama’s favorite books, and biographies of Obama’s White House predecessors. Amazon.com did the searching for its customers, and by gathering all the relevant titles together, demonstrated why it consistently gets such high customer satisfaction ratings. Of course, all those chosen patriotic books are discounted too.

Partially in celebration of the Inauguration and partially in celebration to National Pie Day on January 23rd, Bakers Square restaurants will give away a free slide of pie with any purchase beginning on Wednesday, January 21st. Reportedly you can receive a coupon for free pie by signing up for the free e-newsletter, although there is no mention of it on the company website.
The BalMar Restaurant
Seattle
Those in the proximity of the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle can toast the new president with a specially priced Baraktail after 5 p.m. Customers are encouraged to donate a non-perishable food item, and to wander upstairs for a lively game of inauguration-themed trivia.
Ben & Jerry's
Nationwide
The overtly political sellers of scrumptious scoops are continuing their long tradition of activism with their inaugural flavor, "Yes Pecan!" Ben and Jerry describe the historic treat as "amber waves of buttery ice cream with roasted non-partisan pecans," and they've pledged to donate all the proceeds from its sale in January to the Common Cause Education Fund. To clearly demonstrate their commitment, which they so often do, Ben and Jerry also donated $1 for each of the 10,000 people who joined Common Cause or donated $1 to the charity from the Ben & Jerry's facebook page. Ben & Jerry are philanthropic capitalists that make the new president proud.
Berry Chill
Chicago
For one day only, the new president is also a tasty treat called the "Berry Obama." Berry Chill restaurants will share their American spirit in the form of frozen yogurt with the best red, white and blue toppings, fresh pomegranate, coconut, and blueberries. Berry Chill will do its part to make Inauguration Day sweeter for Chicagolanders by giving away the special Berry Obamas for free.
Bliss Spa
New York, Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Doha, Hong Kong, London, Los Angeles, Scottsdale, San Francisco

(For those who don’t understand the reference, please consult a trusted female friend or family member.) A 20% discount is also available for waxing and post waxing products purchased on the bliss.com website when customers enter the coupon code “BUSH.” For many the removal of the current president won’t be nearly as painful as the removal of hair, but Bliss gets publicity bonus points for the creative connection.
California Tortilla
DE, MD, PA, VA, DC, WV
Customers who “dance, shake, or shimmy” on Inauguration Day will earn a free taco at any of the 40 California Tortilla locations. Your celebratory moves will also earn you coupons for free chips with purchase, and a buy-on-get-one-free entrée.
Duffy’s Sports Grill
19 Florida Locations
The restaurant will host Inauguration parties, and presumably have its TVs tuned to the event. Customers who attend will receive a coupon for a 44% discount on an entrée that they can use on their next visit.
Dunkin’ Donuts
Select Locations
Not quite as generous as its Krispy Kreme competitor, Dunkin’ Donuts will will its Stars & Stripes donut for 44 cents with the purchase of a medium coffee or hot chocolate. The promotion is reportedly only available in select locations, although there is no indication on its website about which locations will be participating.
George’s Garage & G Loft Lounge
Durham, NC

Additionally, Goorin internet shoppers can get a 10% discount on every purchase with the coupon code “Inauguration2009.” Referencing Lincoln’s top hat, FDR’s Fedora, and Eisenhower’s Ivy hats, owner Ben Goorin says, “We feel the voting and dedication of an Obama Presidential hat is appropriate given President-Elect Obama's individual style and his approach of leveraging history to guide the future.” Hats off to the clever spin on this promotion!

U.S., nationwide
Krispy Kreme stores are celebrating the “freedom of choice” by giving away a free donut of choice to every customer on Inauguration Day, with no other purchase necessary. The press release for the promotion said that it is intended to be a “reminder of how oh-so-sweet ‘free’ can be.”

McGillin’s Old Ale House
Philadelphia, PA

*** Sears - (Great deals that last 1 day only) / Click Here & StretchThatDollar TODAY!
U.S., nationwide
The Sears “Countdown to Inauguration Day 2009” clock helps its shoppers remember the amount of time they have to acquire essential Inauguration supplies. American citizens can hardly enjoy the history moment without televisions, DVRs, cameras, flags, wine coolers, GPS devices, and picture frames. Sears has discounted these crucial inaugural accessories in a show of patriotism, and, most importantly, to celebrate capitalism.
Silver Diner
MD, VA, NJ
The “authentic American classic” chain is offering Red, White & Blueplate specials including the Barack and Biden Bacon Cheeseburger, the Potomac Pot Roast, the Obamalette, and the Senatorial Sirloin.
Spitfire Restaurant
Seattle, WA
Seattle Weekly newspaper is sponsoring a party at the Spitfire Restaurant with no cover charge. “A place for spectator sports and politics.” The inauguration festivities will be whosing on 22 screens, starting at 8 a.m. – drink specials, free wi-fi. Brunch will be available.
Starbucks
U.S., Nationwide
Answering the national call to action from the soon-to-be inaugurated president, Starbucks is launching its "I'm In!" program the day after the inauguration. Starbucks will reward every customer who signs a pledge to do 5 hours of community service with a free tall brewed coffee from January 21-25. The goal is to get one million hours pledged, which, doing the math, will be close to a half million contribution from Starbucks to America. That's how capitalism intersects with patriotism!
Sweetgreen Restaurant
Georgetown, D.C.
Rumor has it that Honest Tea is one of Barack Obama's favorite drinks. Diners can get one free with the purchase of any signature salad from Sweetgreen in Georgetown. For those going for the greens, the Obama Salad will give you a taste of the new president, since it is filled with his favorite foods.
Two Steps Down Restaurant
Brooklyn, NY
You can enjoy music, dancing, and a light buffet when the Two Steps Down Restaurant hosts a mini Brooklyn Ball Tuesday night. Admission is free, but if you want to toast the occasion, you’ll need some presidents in your pocket for the cash bar.
McDonald's, Apple, Harley Davidson, Nike, J.C. Penney, Target, Macy's and The Gap, all great American brands, are currently advertising sales and promotions, but none of those promotions reference the historic event before us. It's hard to understand why retailers like Old Navy, American Eagle Outfitters, and Ethan Allen wouldn't take advantage of the obvious connections they could have easily made to the event to ride the wave of positive publicity.
Also noticeably distanced from the day's festivities is America's largest retailer, Wal-Mart. This is not surprising since Wal-Mart openly, actively, and aggressively campaigned against the man who will be taking the oath tomorrow. While adamently opposed to the politics of the party, Wal-Mart is still glad to take the shopping dollars of the voters who support the party.
Let's not forget that there were strong loyalties to both parties, expressed in the form of campaign contributions from retail industry executives. While retailers are eager to keep shopping as a nonpartisan event, it's not likely that they are all feeling the spirit of unity right now.
