Review on Slickdeals by Tony Haberman

The Slickdeals community is where you'll find the latest coupon codes, promos and deals – all in one place.  Their motto: "The best place for deal seekers." You can also vote and comment on the best coupons and deals and share your own shopping experiences with other shoppers.

Slickdeals has a wide variety of products available to buy from their website such as laptops, TV's, electronics, fashion, movies/entertainment products and more. However I haven't come across any offline products though so it might be worth checking out their sister sites such as dealnews if you are searching for traditional supermarkets or mall stores or retailers etc.

How long have they been around for?

Slicksdeals has been around since 2001. What originally began as a discussion forum for deal seekers has grown into the go-to site for the best coupons, discounts and deals.



What is their revenue?

Slickdeals is privately held corporation that does not share financial information with the public.

Who are their main competitors?

The most direct competitors would be Retailmenot, Couponcabin and others like Fyvor etc. However they all cater to different sections of the market so there isn't really any overlap between them though. The closest match would be Retailmenot because Slickdeals shares many similarities in terms of how it saves money guide articles, contest prizes etc but otherwise I don't think there's much similarity between them because Slickdeals doesn't share financial information with the public.

What is their revenue model?

Slickdeals is owned by Dealigg which operates as a for-profit company. Also, Slickdeals has an advertising program where merchants can purchase banner ads on the site and in newsletters. Slicksdeals also generates revenue through affiliate commissions (when users make purchases after clicking links in Deals, Freebies and Shopping sections) and referral fees (from deals provided by other sites). They also sell premium subscription called Slickdeals Pro which provides access to deal alerts via email/text message before they become available to non-paying users. How much does it cost to join? You can sign up for fee of $5 per month or $50 per year billed annually though I'm not sure if that's compulsory or it's just a recommendation.

What are their benefits?

There are many benefits to joining Slickdeals but in my opinion the best benefit would be the deal alerts which require a premium subscription though I could understand why you'd want to avoid paying for this feature because they send out over 100 emails per day so it can get very annoying and spammy though if you don't mind all the emails then having access gives you an advantage over other members who don't pay for membership.

The second main benefit is obviously their savings guides. They have hundreds of these articles where they share how to save money on different products. For example, if you were buying an iPhone 6 right now, chances are there
