Catch of the Day or something

There are plenty of online stores out there, so how would one go about attracting business? Recently I discovered a website that has an interesting concept. The website is called Catch of the Day. This is an Australian website with a difference - they sell one major discount item per day. This way, they keep their inventory costs low, while providing an incentive for visitors to return. They don't always have new stock though, and sometime they recycle old stock that didn't sell as well. The more popular items - like LCD monitors and portable hard drives - sell like hot cakes, and are usually gone by mid-afternoon. They update their listing each day at noon, so it pays to check each lunch time.

I recently bought a set of Philips stereo bluetooth headphone and a pair of Doro cordless phones from them. Payment was done via PayPal, so it is fairly secure. The items were delivered about a week after placing the order. The thing is, some of their prices are just amazing. I ended up paying less than half of the cheapest alternative for the cordless phones. I don't even know how they can source their stuff so cheaply.

Tomorrow, they will have a birthday sale, and some of the items posted on the site are real bargains. For example, they're selling the popular Nintendo Wii for just $199, and 4GB Ipod Nano for $99. That's huge! So, if you're in the hunt for some bargains, I really recommend this site! Happy Fishing...
