So, today at Hostgator, they are having a 50% off special on the first invoice of hosting plans for new clients. However, there was an additional special from 5:00 AM till 9:00 AM (or while supplies lasted) of 80% off of the same. Here’s where the fun comes in. Hostgator is an international company. While supplies lasted was apparently less than three minutes. For at least two hours after 5:00 AM, we were receiving so many calls and chats that everyone in the company, sales, support, security, system administrators, and supervisors, were all taking chats and answering phone calls just to try to decrease the volume, and we still had 150 waiting chats and at least 10 to 15 waiting phone calls at practically any given time.
It was a great morning for the company as well though. We beat out Wal-Mart, Best Buy, and Black Friday in Google searches. Still, I am glad that my work day is over.
Well, I just had to get that off my chest. I am off to go out and find some sales of my own. Until next time…
