I am a bargain hunter and a true believer that if you wait a little while before purchasing something you really want, you will be able to get it on sale. This part of me has been drawn into buying things because of an e-mail promotion.
Overstock.com is a wonderful on-line shopping heaven. They have everything you could ever possibly want and a great sales bin. What I really like about overstock.com is that they send you these wonderful e-mails letting me that I can get free shipping or even better free next day arrival shipping for free. From mid November until Christmas I got an e-mail reminding me of this wonderful money saver. Because of this, quite a few people on my Christmas shopping list got gifts from overstock.com.
Another reason I've bought products because of overstock's e-mail promotions is that if what I buy isn't the right size, color, or not what I expected, I can send it back without charge. I'm not sure if that works all of the time, I've never actually had an issue with anything I've purchased. I'm sure there's something in the fine print about large items.
Similar to Amazon, Overstock keeps track of the brands and items that I've purchased. I then get e-mail promotions about items that they think I'd be interested in. So far these e-mail promotions haven't convinced me to buy anything, but they do at least get to me to go to their site and check the items out.
