Woot! – Cool Stuff Cheap

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

Are you a fan of really great deals?  Do you like electronics, gadgets, t-shirts and/or wine?  That list might sound odd, but it pales in comparison to the name of one of our favorite sites…. Woot!  Woot is another one of those “must visit” sites that guided me to create JumpstartMyPC.com.  I’ve been sharing the Woot with anyone who will listen/read since I first stumbled onto it almost 5 years ago and apparently I wasn’t the only one.  The site has become something of a national phenomenon and with it, an entire culture has developed.

So what is Woot?  Woot.com is an internet retailer base in Carrollton, TX and the originator of One Day, One Deal.  The concept is simple, a new item goes on sale (at a great price) every day at midnight.  The item is on sale until 11:59pm (central time) or until they are sold out of that item.  Woot.com’s focus is “selling cool stuff cheap” and they always ship for $5.  The woot! style of business became so popular that other retailers, including Amazon.com, Buy.com and Target.com have started their own One  Day, One Deal selling strategies.
