NORTH CANTON, Ohio, Nov 09, 2009 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- BargainsDealsAndCloseouts.com debuts today as the internet's newest overstock/discount merchandise site... with a twist.
Unlike similar sites, BargainsDealsAndCloseouts.com incorporates humor in their online presentation of featured discount items. This entails short video segments featuring Jeff, a zany spokesman who puts a funny spin on products in the spirit of Saturday Night Live.
"Think of Bill Murray, Beetlejuice and the ShamWow guy all rolled into one - that's our character Jeff," said Sara Eddy, BargainsDealsAndCloseouts.com account manager. "By the way, his name really is Jeff Weyrauch, and he really is an improv comedian." The business idea behind BargainsDealsAndCloseouts.com is to take site visitors directly into an "Indiana Jones" style warehouse where boxes and skids of merchandise wait to be discovered at super-low prices. Items for sale include electronics, clothing, luggage, household goods, hardware and more.
Shipping and handling is free for most items - plus, most are shipped in less than 24 hours. Another difference between BargainsDealsAndCloseouts.com and its competition is that BargainsDealsAndCloseouts.com will also sell merchandise in pallet/skid quantities - or even a truckload. This makes the site a convenient online resource for businesses and private retailers nationwide. However, shipping and handling is extra for such large-quantity purchases.
As an added feature on the site, the first 50 BargainsDealsAndCloseouts.com shoppers for each day can get $10 credit to spend on anything in the warehouse.
This includes the "Bow-Wow Bin," where Jeff and his dog Ordy store a host of products that they broom at giveaway prices.
Consumer traffic to BargainsDealsAndCloseouts.com should be spurred by a series of 30-second TV spots that will begin airing on cable TV in mid-November.
They'll feature a range of Christmas gift bargains - all delivered with laughs by comedian Jeff Weyrauch.
BargainsDealsAndCloseouts.com officials hope that the current economy, deep discount prices and their humorous approach will draw a wave of holiday shoppers for the 2009 Christmas Season. The approach is a bold one. But perhaps it is what will set BargainsDealsAndCloseouts.com apart from the rest.
