Deal of the Day Websites

Deal of the Day
By Sharon Housley

With the economy in a questionable state, everyone is looking for a good deal. Savvy business owners have jumped at the opportunity to carve out a niche for themselves in the struggling economy. Coupon and Deal-Of-The-Day websites have become extremely popular. Everyone is getting into the action, from large conglomerate websites to small specialty shops, and many now have some sort of Deal-Of-The-Day special where an item is offered at a significant discount for a specified and limited period of time. While the Deal-Of-The-Day websites were originally designed to capture impulse purchasers, many financially-conscious penny-pinching shoppers are now monitoring these sites regularly, in search of good deals on products they might need.

Everybody loves a bargain! Where should you look for a bargain?

Software Deal Of The Day WebSites...

Software Deal Of The Day

Software-DOD.com features popular software titles, with a new discounted application available each day. The software discounts range from 10-90% off of list prices, and the featured software is only available at the discounted price for twenty-four hours. Software-DOD.com also includes "second chance" offers, which are offers designed for people who missed the primary Deal Of The Day offer. The second chance offers are still discounted below the normal price, but not as deeply discounted as the primary Deal Of The Day offer was.

Bits Du Jour

Every day, Bits Du Jour offers 24-hour discount deals on Windows software applications or web services. They feature deals at a substantial discount, and the discount is available for that day only.

Give Away Of The Day

Every day, GAOTD offers one software title that will be a Give-away title for that day. The software will be available for download for 24 hours (or more, if agreed on by the software publisher), and that software will be absolutely free during that time. The GAOTD featured product is not a trial version, and not a limited version - it's a registered and legal version of the software, and free for the website visitors.

Electronics Deal Of The Day Websites...

Woot

Woot.com is an online store and community that focuses on selling cool stuff cheap. It started out as an employee-store / market-testing outlet for an electronics distributor, but it's taken on a life of its own, offering a variety of items, typically electronics and techie toys, at discount prices for a single day.

Yugster

Yugster is a website that sells cool stuff at prices that typically cannot be beat. An item is Yours Until Gone (YUG)! Everyday they offer a new product at 6am EST, and when it is gone, it is gone. They also offer an additional unique option -- if you register and become a "Yugster" (free), you get their daily offers a day before everyone else. Just log into the Yugster website as a registered Yugster, and you'll not only see that day's Daily Offer, but you'll also have access to a special "Sneak Preview" offer for the offer scheduled for the next day. Registered Yugsters can also receive emails containing a heads-up on items available, and access to additional and special "private" offers that aren't included on the website.

Each day, new products are added to the site with three new deals going live every midnight CST. When an item goes live the AtomicDeals falling-price auction begins, and the price starts to fall. The price will continue to fall until time runs out or until the item sells out.
