Extremely Limited Offers Section

Offers that could:

1. Only be run for up to 5 days then it goes into unmoderated status. Member can choose the time. 1 day, 2 days, 3 days...etc up to 5 days max.

2. Offer could only be run ONCE for the same product. You couldn't run a limited offer for a product for 5 days and then run the same thing 5 days later.

3. Thread Prefixes would be required. The prefixes would be something like 1 Day Offer, 2 Day Offer, 3 Day Offer...etc.. whatever yours is.

May I suggest a simpler solution?

Make WSOs "pay per day".

I *know* my WSO will be OFF the page tomorrow - but can buy my way back in.

Winners will stay.

Maybe an index of how good a WSO is will be how long it's been around - which can be visible under the post (like "This is Day 5")

If required, set a "maximum" number of days per WSO.

And/or a "maximum number of WSOs per day" to make sure all fit on one page?!

Just my 2 cents.

Everyone knows what a "limited time" offer can do in terms of sales.

And I could make the section popular very quickly by running board wide notices about it.

I'm not saying I will do this, just thinking, and wondering if it might relieve some of the pressure off the main WSO section.

Any interest?

ok, good idea. but i was thinking, is it possible to just do it and after 5days the product is gone.
what if someone did not logged in within those 5days. what do you think

Uff, I'm late to the party... but I wanted to throw my "yes, great idea" vote into the mix. I also liked Martin's suggestion of expiring offers at the top of the pile as well as Paul's "elitist" suggestions.

Great idea, Allen... and great brainstorming/discussion everyone else.
