Overstock.com Launches Vacation Deals!

[Parsad]

Overstock has launched their vacation deals today.  They offer several deals each day, sort of like Group-on or other social buying sites.  Some of the deals are really cheap.  Cheers!

Pretty cool, and definitely some great deals on there,

 

-side note...do they really need to include Adwords ads on their site? Maybe I'm nit picking, but when I see eCommerce companies with advertisements on their site, it screams 'unproffesional' to me.

I agree that the ads are probably not needed, but at the same time, Byrne doesn't do anything conventional.  Plus, if it's space that would just remain blank, and you are getting millions of page views a month, that revenue certainly could support alot of other initiatives, including Deepcapture.com!  ;D  Cheers!

I get that, but I've always been of the opinion (from working in the Ecommerce industry for about 15 years) that retailers selling products shouldn't send potential customers away from their site. There are a lot of people out there that will click a link and will eventually purchase what they were looking for elsewhere.

 

On the original topic, i'm not an Overstock shareholder, but like that they're diversifying their business.
