One Day Sale Websites List

OneDayDeals.co.nz - The original Daily Deals discussion site

Fascinated by the one day sale concept, this site has been online since 2008, watching and discussing the one day sale website industry. We've just revamped this site so why not read some of our one day sale articles and site profiles.

What is this site about?

We've been fans of 1-day.co.nz for several years now. Back in 2008 we noticed several 1 day competitors coming online, so we thought we'd delve deeper into the 1 day sale phenomenon and create a website about them. There are so many daily deals sites around now, so we regularly review them, give tips, and check daily to see whats happening. Are we affiliated with any daily deal websites? No, we are simply fans of this exciting industry ;)

What is 1day?

1-day.co.nz - Its an online shopping craze thats taking NZ by storm. The innovative, Hamilton-based online retailer Torpedo7 branched out from their traditional e-commerce site to create the ever popular "day deals" website. "1 day" were the first company to become successful in the New Zealand mainstream so when people talk about one day sales they usually refer to the 1day company. 1 day have created a daily lunchtime buying frenzy in workplaces across the country with thousands logging on to the website to see what products are on offer for the day.Throughout this site we'll refer to 1-Day.co.nz and 1-Day Ltd as simply 1 day.

How do One Day Sale sites work?

The concept is simple. Each day, the website will offer a special deal on one or more products. The specials are available for just 24 hours, or less time if they sell out within 24 hours (which is quite often). 1 day offer 3 deals each day at Midday. Different sites vary on the number of deals they offer each day. Several of the market leaders like "Deal a day" offer just one deal each day. As does newcomer to New Zealand, Australian market leader "Catch of the Day".

What kinds of products do they sell?

The range of products varies wildly. One day it can be a 24 pack of V for $24.99, the next day a Samsung Digital Camera for $239.99. The products on offer tend to be popular and well known consumer products, usually from a famous brand name. Some daily deals sites are now also selling services instead of physical products.

Did 1day make up the one day sale concept?

While the concept of onedaysale websites is not new, 1-day have taken a fresh spin on it with a clean site, in-demand products and EXCEPTIONALLY LOW prices. The one day deal concept was originally made famous by woot.com in the USA. This site has been running since 2003 and specialises in refurbished electronic goods.
