Flash Sale refers to an incredible deal with a limited period of time which once the deal is announced, it is sold-out (usually minutes) to a huge number of clients. The sale is announced though the flash sales platforms and can be accessed using a flash sale smart phone app.
Flash sales are often referred to as flash giveaways or flash deals. The trend was popularized in 2008 when Andrew Black of MyVoucherCodes.co.uk called it ‘the new Google’ as it was extremely effective and was responsible for increased traffic on his webpage.
Flash sales can be executed in small, regional or continental levels with a focus on selected items (hobby, passion, interests, etc.) or on necessity-based items (food items, medical equipment, etc.) such as that can be reused in a series.
In recent years, the flash sales industry has experienced an exponential growth. Today, this global enterprise has the capacity to earn a whopping $100 billion annually with 3.5 million sellers.

4. Copdate
The idea behind this startup: From fashion to footwear, to technology, art, music, cosmetics, and beyond, brands and pop-culture personalities cross-pollinate to market exclusive products where rarity and hype collide to drive intense demand, and a cult-like obsession from consumers hoping to purchase. The result is a hybrid marketplace of passionate “Hyper Consumers” eager to purchase the latest products as soon as they release. Products are released in a “pressure-cooker” environment where strangled supply and high resale value create a sense of urgency among purchasers, causing friction at the point-of-purchase, and forcing many to buy for high premiums on the resale market. Copdate cuts the friction, allowing you to reserve the hottest products the instant they release right from your phone so you can cop every drop, hassle-free.
