B-C E-commerce Desparation, May 24
The weaker stores have been dying lately. Now another sorry attempt at building business. Bolt is giving everything away for free for an hour on Thursday. "On Thursday, May 25th, everything you buy at Bolt will be free during the hour that the most people place orders. So if there are say, three different people who order during a certain hour and no other hours that day have more orders, those three people don’t get charged for their stuff -- up to $100." Truly sad. How many order cancellations do you think they will have the next day? Update: Deal sites have suggested 10-11pm ET (7-8pm PT) The site is almost guranteed not to be accessible all day even though they are hosted by Exodus.
