The eBay Deals Site Is An Inspiration For Retailers. eBay uses its deals section to offer merchandise, both new and refurbished, at sizable discounts.

Retailers can emulate this strategy by setting up a special deal section in their stores, and if they have a website, on their sites as well. 

Retailers can greatly benefit by offering a special deals section. Customers will be excited to purchase products at special savings, and these customers will eagerly visit the store and website so that they can see what deals are currently available.

A store owner can use her deal section to move out slow selling merchandise, clear out overstock merchandise, or to sell specifically chosen closeout products.

Savvy resellers can turn their deal sections into profit centers. Resellers can search for closeout products with the intention of selling them through their deal sections.

A deal selection can also create buzz for a store, which in turn can generate valuable foot traffic and online visitors for a business. Once shoppers visit a store, or website, they might purchase some of the regular merchandise that the business carries.
