Take 5 With Patrick - Essays on Unrelated Subjects

Thoughts on issues other than the Deep Capture of the major institutions of our society. Some of these are about Overstock, and some not. It starts with early posts from the auction message board (forums.auctions.overstock.com/patrick.php ) that we migrated over to this new blog section.

Extending Our Model To Travel

Post subject: Extending Our Model To Travel

Honored Guest,

I write to bring your attention to our travel tab ( http://travel.overstock.com/?CID=90884EID=20060120THH&POS=H1 ). We have kept pretty mum about it since it launched because we wanted to get all the plumbing tightened, but it is now ready for all.

You’ll find here a unique set of heavily discounted offerings. Let someone from our Ski Sales Team plan a winter vacation in a Rocky Mountain chalet ( http://travel.overstock.com/SkiPromo.aspx ), or have our Beach Team book a Caribbean cruise for you, or a package deal in Cancun ( http://funjet.paradiselodging.com/ ).

You’ll find hundreds of these offers at special “insider’s” prices we have privately negotiated for our clients. You’ll also find a Last Minute deals section, where travel providers come to clear their inventory at ridiculous prices. And of course, our tab has all the basic travel offerings, such as airline tickets, cars, and hotels, at low booking fees.

So consider the advantage of consolidating your online travel purchasing into one website which you already know and trust: Overstock.com.

Respectfully,

Patrick
