Deal of the Day style sites keep impressing me, and I find myself somewhat addicted to them. At first, deal of the day online stores where mostly selling discount physical products. Things such as: books, shoes, outdoor gear, clothes, and a wide variety of electronics are booming because frugal deal seekers are discovering niche sites that specialize in selling discounted items, around the clock. This trend has carried, and the one sale at a time websites are popping up everywhere.
Today, I noticed that a lot of service based markets are creating niche deal sites as well, and this fact really got me excited. Restaurants, spas, home improvement companies, bakeries, auto accessories, tanning, and even fire arm training can provided by deal of the day website.
My girlfriend called me today, and wanted to know if I was available to go to a gun training session that she saw on groupon.com. I was shocked to hear this, but not really, because Groupon is killing with all sorts of service based deals. They have the best deals around on restaurants and my girlfriend uses the “groupons” all the time. This little notion is a solid testimony of how cool deal of the days are. I mean, she first used the groupon site for restaurant deals, and now she is wanting me to go to gun training. Now that’s power! She is hooked and it’s only because of the hot deals. She would never, in a million years, call me and want to go shoot guns, but because groupon got her hooked, and made this type of shopping so normal for her, she is up for anything, especially if it starts with D-E-A-L!
This power is the reason that HC Consulting Group created Bloopio.com. Bloopio provides the opportunity for anyone to own a site like groupon, where they can target a niche and offer some cool “deals” of any kind.
I am actually sitting next to my lovely girlfriend now, and she is hunting for other deal sites while I type this. I am guessing that if you make a deal site, she, and many other deal hunters will come to your site and buy.
