"Its been a momentous year at CatchOfTheDay, many milestones have been reached and records shattered.

We'd
like to thank you for the success of this once humble site, now
regularly Australia's most visited online shopping site. It is your
word of mouth and loyalty that is driving all this forward. In return
you can expect even bigger things from us next year. Every year the
Catches keep getting better, expect no less in 2010.

We know you all love numbers and stats, here are some interesting figures from 2009:

• Membership has doubled, with now over 360,000 dedicated anglers logging in!

• Over 300% sales growth as compared to 2008. What recession? Our members know value when they see it!

• Best seller of 2009: The Cuddlee! The surprise performer with over 30,000 sold. Close second place was the "Tomato Planter".

• 2.4 items sold per minute, or on average every 25 seconds an item is purchased. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!

• Highest grossing product: Samsung LCD TV's. Over $1.4 million in one day.

• Fastest rate of sale: Asus 7" EEE PC. 1998 units caught in a single hour!
