Suggestion for companies running Black Friday deals for techies. Don't run them with midnight to midnight hours based on the EAST COAST!!! Run the midnight EAST COAST until midnight WEST COAST.
I was looking at transferring dozens of domains from GoDaddy to NameCheap today. Their deals ended at midnight east coast. I'm in Los Angeles.
Don't know if the domain transfer deal ran for a specific sub-segment of the day, which means I would have missed it anyway. I thought I'd just highlight that ending online deals at midnight east coast makes little sense. Particularly on a day when people can be very busy during the hours that brick-and-mortars are open or, barring that, if they happen to be enjoying time with family, which may have bee the primary purpose of travelling for the holiday weekend.
In other words, be smart about how you make these decisions while at the same time being considerate to the customers you are trying to attract.
Also, one hour deals? Really? I probably have over 50 domains still left at GoDaddy. Do I really have to get that done in one hour? It almost guarantees that some will not be transferred until next year.
Not ranting, just voicing an opinion. I could be wrong.
