There is a cure for the wintertime blues.
Oh, what fun we had in ye olde Woot days, gleefully overturning the “seasonality is king” retail regime. The first uprising came way back in 2005, when we unloaded 2,500 ice cream makers in one frosty mid-January day. It made perfect sense to us: we sell things cheap, and January is when ice cream makers are cheap. Enough of you weirdos agreed to prove us at least somewhat sane.
Alas, under Amazon, Woot was eventually crammed into the generic mold. Now they sell swimming trunks in June and plastic sleds in December, like everybody else. Obviously, there’s a certain logic to it. A certain sad logic.
But what about those of you gazing wistfully at your barbecue grill covered in snow? For you, buying grilling planks in the dead of winter isn’t just a way to save money. It’s a down payment on a warmer future. A vote for optimism. A gesture of hope.
That sweet, smoky flavor. You can taste it right now, can’t you? Think about it. You’re out by the grill. You’re a little hazy from the sunshine and the beer. Maybe you’re laughing with a few good friends. Maybe it’s just you and the family. The meat’s almost done. Time is standing still. You’ve got nothing to do but look forward to that succulent dinner. You’re relaxed. And happy. And warm. So warm you feel like you’ll never be cold again.
That feeling’s worth eight bucks no matter what time of year it is.
