A smaller version of OzBargain

Droidy on 20/04/2017 - 18:08

Hi bargainers,

Quick question, does anyone know of a smaller bargain website? I'm preparing to relaunch an ecommerce site and want to offer a store wide deal to help test the system.

My concern is that Ozbargain will drive too much traffic and we'll run into issues.

Any thoughts?

        Crappy deal so it doesn't attract too much traffic

    This seems like a reverse psychology post but anyway, Wiki: List of Bargain Sites

      I wish I was that smart. Or is this comment just a reverse psychology comment on a reverse psychology post?

      In all seriousness, love Ozbargain but post something that people don't like and it will scar you for life.

      Or will it…

      Great to see downvotes on the most useful comment lel.

        Love the idea and would definitely do it but Are we allowed to post stuff like that in the forums?

        • AlienC on 20/04/2017 - 21:09

          I guess you could ask the mods for a test trial run or permission, you could be the first if it is not allowed.

    If you can afford it use Google adwords to test traffic/site.

    I would suggest that you SHOULD let the horde attack your site.

    After all, there's nothing like a good stress-test to find any bugs. And if you can cope with a (reasonable deal crowd) of us OzBargainers, then all the better. If your site breaks - then you're prepared for the next time you post a deal, that really does get the masses moving to your site.

    I'm guessing you're pontificating over your #WeAreAlmostThere 7% discount at TheBlueDroid.com?? Yes, I can research :D

    Let's just get the ball rolling then. Ozbargainers, assemble!

    EDIT: $26 for GTA V? That seems like a deal in itself!

    • Droidy on 20/04/2017 - 23:27

      That's pretty much spot on. (ever considered becomming a P.I?)

      I think that's what I'm going to do, on Monday (one last worry free weekend). I'll bite the bullet then :)

    Set up a competition? That will get the clicks coming in, but over a period of time

    spam your deals on OzB
    i hear thats always a good idea

  • Droidy on 20/04/2017 - 23:29

    Thanks for the feedback everyone! I'm going to have a long sleep on it and post on Monday!

    • Droidy on 21/04/2017 - 13:26
