Wildest Promotion Attempt Ever To Sell Jeep Parts

The Jeep parts place I do some work for, XtremeTerrain.Com, is running one of the wildest promotions that I have personally ever heard of. It is a "Name Your Price" promotion. You pick the Jeep part or accessory that you would like to buy, then you make an offer amount that you would like to pay. The company then takes a look at it to see if they are willing to sell the part at that price. Take a look at it at Jeep parts promotion

I thought that this Jeep part promotion would be a huge mess with thousands of ridiculous offers and people going crazy trying to get the deal of the century, but just the opposite has happened! There has been very few offers made, and the company folks cannot understand why. Neither can I really. I mean why wouldn't you got out and find the lowest price on the Internet and eBay and then come back to XtremeTerrain.Com and cut some more money off of the lowest price to see if they'll accept it? That's what I would do!

I've been thinking about why people are not making offers, and the one primary theory I come up with is that they do not really believe that the company is serious about trying to make deals. This is the only reason I can come up with as to why you wouldn't take action on this promotion. The reality is that the company is extremely serious about doing everything it can to make people deals! They have made great deals to over 60% of the people that have made offers. In most of these cases the offers were to low for the company to match, but they made some drastic price cuts to their already low prices and made counteroffers, which their customers accepted. These folks realized fantastic deals!

Apparently, most folks are just to skeptical to try something like this. Too bad! They could be getting some great deals. I guess it is true that if you went up to people and told them you were going to give them money, more than half of them would turn and walk away before you had the chance to give it to them.

I have made the suggestion that the company post up a couple of testimonials that the promotion is real and that there are some great deals to be had, but they seemed reluctant to do it. They think that it will slowly catch on and more and more people will take advantage of it. I'm betting against it, so we'll soon find out.
