Have you ever bought something that you really don’t need, but decided “Hey, for that price, I’d be a fool NOT to buy it”? Well woot.com is a site that caters to people that just love a good deal, even if it’s for something they don’t necessarily need.
woot works like this: one product is posted on their site everyday. This product is sold at a discount compared to it’s retail price. Only one product is sold every day, and there is a limited quantity of this sale item. Once it’s sold out, then you’re outta luck. You’ll have to wait until tomorrow to see what their next discounted product is.
This leaves the site visitor with an extra sense of urgency: “If i don’t get it now, it may be sold out”. Plus, because there is one new product every day, it keeps the customer’s coming back everyday to find the next great deal.
The site has been so successful, they’ve spawned a few other sites specifically selling a different t shirt, or wine every day (woot wine! and woot tshirt!)
While it’s always nice to see great deals, you should always decide if you really, REALLY need it before you make the plunge. I mean, is there really that great of a demand for Digital Golf Ball Locators?
