I just visited X10.com (http://www.x10.com/homepage.htm). Wow... never thought I'd see that. X10 looks... respectable.
-
Wow! Only one scantily clad hottie tottie.
Not bad.
And the rest of the site looks pretty pro. for today.

still pages long and what a lot of editors call "word puke"
-
Noooo!!!!!!!!!!
:)
I wonder if it is under new management and the new folks decided to clean up its image. :)
Wait. This could also mean that they could hire a staff of programmers to work on AHP. The change would indeed be for the better. Let's all hope that is where this is headed.

I was so impressed I had to leave a comment at the bottom of the page! :)%

Did you guys see the 4 for 1 slimfire for 20 bucks. Then a couple of scrolls down they have it for 5 for 1 at 20 bucks! What kind of marketing is that. Maybe it pays to look real hard at the whole page.

I have found that a good look can find the same item at two different prices.
Icon RF Remote was one example. $69.99 on main page but $49.99 on one of the deal pages.
Saw a one day deal that actually got you more LM456s than in the MagaPack deal.

Actually probably good marketing. ::)
You noticed that deal by digging and have thought Maybe it pays to look real hard at the whole page
.
And maybe you'll look at other pages more closely.
It gets you to spend more time on the site and possibly buy more.
Many of us like Brian H have found good deals by searching the sites many pages.

I buy a lot of X10 stuff so price is important to me. I have purchased off eBay (and other places.. on a few occasions). For the rare, scarce, or speciality items ether X10 doesn't ofter the item or it is much cheaper elsewhere. But for the normal X10 purchases I calculate the cost by price per item. Shopping X10.com and using the newletter deals I have generally kept my per item price around $5.00.
Of course... I keep thinking I have all the X10 I could ever use. Then I seem to need just a little more. This just amazes me as it isn't even like X10 introduces many new products.

I just went there, and saw lots of deals, but no hotties! Just one female with a telephone operator's headset on. About as prurient as a bus sitting at a bus stop with the engine running.

To each one's own I suppose.

Yeah... her operator headset is there! You just have to look a little closer. Attached.

Amazing ! :)% >! #:)
What the heck happened ?
Am I in the "Twilight Zone" & transported to a "New Dimension" ?
Whatever transpired caused creation of a much more professional home page.
Yeah ! Way to Go ! Hoorah !
Congratulations to whom ever is responsible for this change.

I wouldn't get too excited about the "NEW" X10 site. When I first looked at it I was glad to be able to finally check out the Daily Deals from my work computer again without the fear of someone thinking I was surfing for porn.
However, if you notice on the bottom of the "NEW" home page there is a link to the original home page where the Daily Deals are accessible and of course those pages are using the old format.
The "NEW" home page is more of a facade than anything else. It's almost like making 2 different lamp modules that do 2 different things, but giving them the same part number... hypothetically.
Anyways, that's my $0.02. I guess I won't be going back to checking out the Daily Deals while having my morning coffee at work... not yet anyways.

I take it all back.
My, what an improvement.
-
I just looked at the new site. A 100% change from when I looked yesterday.
Almost thought I was on the incorrect site.
-
100% agreed :D :D :D. No "Hotties" anywhere. Didn't near any "Twilight Zone" type music on any of the 4 major sections.
-
I hope that this change came from "listening" to the customers. I have seen more than one thread with negative comments on the scantily clad women in the ads.

I don't really see the necessity to have a woman in a bikini to sell a universal remote. ???
Just my 2c.

I do... in my Home Theater (http://www.davesdomainonline.com/ht/ht)
I don't think many people have a problem with someone wearing a bathing suit at pool side. After all keeping an eye on the pool area is one use for X10 cameras. That, like a baby monitor.. adds a level of safety and piece of mind. I can sorta understand the animations and a pretty model here and there. Most of X10 products aren't much more than little plastic boxes... and not much to showcase. And after all... models need to earn a living too.
I think for most of us.. the guide we use to judge whats exceptable in a Page is: "what looks like porn". If it isn't something I could look at on a lunch hour at work... then it isn't a Site I would share with family or friends. X10 went way overboard with the "pretty models" a while back. I actually stopped using the term X10 when the Site got... sleazy... and started referring to my "Home Automation".
I fully support X10s new look and attitude towards advertisement. I certainly hope it effects their bottomline in a positive way.

That is Bad A$$ Dave!

Anyone offended [or fired from work] lately? rofl
