Crazy for red tags?
Believe it or not, just in time for the holidays, I've discovered an actual *new concept* hitting wires.
RedTagCrazy.com is set to be the first "One Deal at A Time" (ODAT) shopping site. It's a sort of social shopping model, that sells one item from one sought-after fashion label at a time, at deep discounts of 50-80%, with each item expected to last only a few minutes. It is like...the ultimate elixir for the impulse shopper!
"We're creating a unique solution for exclusive brands to engage customers, move inventory, and create buzz," said Eric Ingram, Chief Executive of Truly Networks, Inc. "By presenting highly sought-after items with limited quantities for a very limited time, we are vigorously protecting the value of our high-end brands."
He's not kidding. There's no way to tell what will be on sale tomorrow, in the next hour, or even what sold yesterday. Alert tools are available for nearly every desktop and mobile platform out there, from a Firefox Add-on to an iPhone App, which allows shoppers to stay on top of each new item before it sells out.
I'm excited - it's sort of a melding of all my favorite kinds of online shopping, at once. So, tell me, does this sort of impulse-sport shopping appeal to you? Or are you personally a more plan and proceed sort of lot?

Well, thanks for that Mariya :)
redtagcrazy.com is awesome.
this is definitely not the first ODAT - Mamabargains.com has been around for almost a year now and is considered an ODAT, also, Babysteals.com and about 10 other companies have been out there for a long time now. Mamabargains.com and Babysteals are the leaders in the industry - I know cause I'm a mom and have tons and tons of online mommy friends and they all talk about both of those companies and religiously stalk them for their deals. Also, it would be pertininent to mention that the original ODAT launched over 10 years ago, and is called www.steepandcheap.com. It's owner actually mentored the ladies at Mamabargains.com before their launch and their partner is actually working for Babysteals.com. so in my opinion, there are not many sites out there that can compare to the two above mentioned companies, and it wouldn't be fair to claim being the original ODAT when those companies have been around much much longer. No offense intended, just wanted to let you know...great concept, will go over well, but definitely not the original.
