What Advice Do You Have For New One Day Sale Websites?

by Sheldon Nesdale on 12 March 2010

Did you know that the list of one day sale websites grows every month?

In fact, there are entrepreneurs plotting and scheming about how to take a slice of "1 day sale" pie right now.

Competition is good. It's healthy. And it means better and better deals for you, the customer.

So what advice do you have for the business people setting up their own versions of a one day sale website?

Do you agree with that suggestion? I sure do.

So let's make that our first suggestion to these entrepreneurs:

#1. State freight/delivery charges upfront

If the price on an item is similar to that in a retail store, don’t bother selling it. It puts people off bothering to check back on the next days “deals” – at least it does with me.

Good point Louise. If they inflate the “was” price too much they lose credibility.

Great service from customer service staff who genuinely CARE is top of the list also.
Sheldon, remember my spiel about how much I disliked 1-Day? Well, thanks to the actions of just one customer service person by the name of Chris, I’m now happy to shop with them again.

Hi Paula & Sheldon, just to let you know that http://www.firstin.co.nz always lists the delivery charges on ALL of our deals, so you can be confident that you know the total cost before you have to hand over your credit card details.
