Slickdeals

Deals aggregation platform earning affiliate commissions

Overview

Slickdeals is a consumer platform that helps shoppers save money by aggregating deals from many retailers and offering tools to compare products and get financial guidance. It works by collecting deal offers, user-generated discussions, and affiliate links, so when users click on deals and make purchases, Slickdeals earns a commission from retailers. The site also features financial advice and product comparisons, which include affiliate links, generating revenue through affiliate commissions and advertising. Compared with other deal sites, Slickdeals relies on a large, active community to surface and evaluate offers, and it discloses affiliate relationships to maintain transparency. The goal is to help everyday shoppers make informed purchasing decisions while growing its audience and earnings through affiliate relationships and advertising.

Slickdeals launches The Sift, a free list of 1,500+ announced Black Friday offers

Slickdeals has launched The Sift, a free tool that gathers announced Black Friday offers in one searchable list weeks before the sale begins. At launch it includes more than 1,500 offers from retailers including Costco, Sam's Club, and Lowe's. Shoppers can filter by retailer, category, or discount, and save items without an account. Some offers stay sealed until each retailer's release date, so the list grows over time. The idea came from community members who built their own Black Friday spreadsheets. "The Sift takes the planning our members were doing by hand and makes it easy for every shopper," said Johan Mengesha, head of content and partnerships at Slickdeals. Around mid-November, The Sift will add top community-voted deals from Slickdeals.
