They began this promotion last year. It started out a little rocky but they managed to pull it off. What am I talking about? I’m talking about Amazon.com’s “Customer Votes” promo.

Last year, they were selling an XBOX360 for only $100. It was a first-come, first-served type of deal that almost crashed the website. They sold out in a matter of seconds. They then smartly changed it to a lottery type of sale. And people were a lot happier after that.

This is how it works. For about a week, Amazon will feature 3 products everyday. You pick which one you want to see sold under Amazon’s heavily discounted price. Then if the product you voted for wins, you’re entered into a lottery for a chance to purchase that product for the special price. Simple right?

No one really knows what these items will be, but check daily for your chance to get in on some great deals.

I saw this at Costco a while back. When I saw it, I thought “Wow, that would be GREAT deal for my little girl…too bad she’s not old enough for something like this.” Well, if you have an aspiring photographer at home, this might make the perfect holiday present.
