Margarita, I agree – 300 items isn’t compelling. It could be 300 things that aren’t products people want. Specific deals are definitely more compelling with so many competing promotions going on.

I know a few people who were crazy enough to join so many others there at 4:00 AM on that morning and they go every year regardless of what they are or are not offering. While they say they get some pretty good deals, they do not seem to be much different from the deals they may get on a regular basis, and definitely not worth getting up at 4:00 AM for. The ad itself seems to be pretty ineffective though, 300 is a big number, but 300 what? Who knows what items the deals are offered on and if I don’t know…then I’m definitely not going.

Sounds like a great offer to me. 300 items to chose from….i don’t have 300 gifts to buy so that many specials sounds like it’s worth checking out.

Unless they’re offering coffee & donuts, better yet a full breakfast bar, I’ll be in bed at 4:00 AM. Why is earlier better? Why not just offer the same deals during normal hours and have a good stock of the items that’ll most likely be in demand? Oh wait! That makes too much sense…
