We talk about when it is justified to have a flash sale and which companies absolutely need to stop flash sales immediately. Then the discussion moves on to companies who have managed a sound offline and online strategy while avoiding flash sales entirely. What do you think? Should flash sales be allowed or should they be stopped? Let us know via the comments.
