INTERNET ENABLES PURCHASES FROM CANDY TO EXOTIC CAR RENTAL
Wow, have you heard of this new thing called the internet where you can, uh, buy stuff from your house? Okay, I realize that I’m not breaking any Earth-shattering news with the notion that items may be purchased on the world-wide web.
But I am ever intrigued and surprised by the pure range of items that are available for purchase. In this pursuit, I am always drawn to both the quirky and the over-the-top. With that in mind, I offer you Candy Direct.
Now everybody knows that candy is available almost anywhere. Just try checking out of a grocery store with your kid and you’ll learn just how readily available candy is. So why would I need to go online to order the stuff?
The folks at Candy Direct aren’t just selling your typical fare; they are going all out to offer anything anyone could ever want that is candy related. Looking for hard-to-find candy, they’ve got it. Looking for bouquets made out of candy, they’ve got it. Looking for retro-candy from eras past, they’ve got it. And on and on it goes.
Candy Direct will take you back to the simpler times of Jujubes, Jujyfruits, and bubble gum cigars. What better way to develop cavities and life threatening lifestyle habits simultaneously!
My search for internet quirkiness has also led me to some somewhat grander discoveries. Take for example Ron Sturgeon’s family of exotic car businesses that he operates with a strong online presence.
“In this day and age, you are really a dinosaur if you don’t have a strong Internet presence, regardless of what business you’re in,” opines Dallas sports car rental company.
Sturgeon appears to be trying to turn “kick the tires” into ”click the tires” when it comes to his exotic car businesses. Perhaps his strongest internet presence is seen in his exotic car rental agency. This company boasts an impressive garage of exotic cars that can all be reserved online by the day. Additionally, the company’s website offers weekly internet specials that allow customers to choose from a changing menu of DFW exotic car rental special deals.
For those for whom cars are like candy, Sturgeon’s exotic car club allows members to drive a garage full of exotic cars for far less than the price of direct ownership. This Dallas TX exotic car club accepts online applications and communicates with all of its members via the company’s website. Exotic car sharing is an excellent way to drive exotics without taking out a second mortgage.
Finally, Sturgeon operates a Texas exotic car tour company where participants are treated to an eight-hour sampling of an assortment of five exotic cars. Again, the company’s website offers exotic car tour route descriptions, videos of past tours, and allows for exotic car tour reservations.
Whether you’re into licorice or Lamborghinis, the Internet has you covered.
