NEW - Flash Deals

Latest Deals

Image

I'm excited to announce Flash Deals. It's a new, completely separate section to the website.

Unique discount codes from top Amazon brands to help us save money.

In this separate section, brands are able to share unique codes with us. There is a minimum discount of 50% off, so you know you're getting a good price.

Latest Deals, as you know it and love it, remains fundamentally the same. The Flash Deals section is in a separate area and clearly labelled so you know it is posted by brands. 

Brands are NOT able to share within the current deals, vouchers, freebies or competitions sections. 

What is the thinking behind this?

First and foremost, Latest Deals is a community website for deal hunters to find and share deals, vouchers, freebies and competitions with each other. It will always be so. 

We want to have the best discounts but sometimes, because of our rule of "no self-promotion" we've missed out. Great discount codes for great products. 

Flash Deals is be a totally separate section, clearly labelled, where brands (Amazon sellers only for now) can share their own discount codes. 

To make sure the deals are good we're enforcing a minimum 50% discount. We're only accepting Amazon products so that everything is covered by Amazon's A-Z Guarantee, and only products with Prime delivery.

This also helps to solve another troublesome problem we've experienced for over two years: naughty brands creating fake accounts! As Latest Deals grows it attracts more attention. We have a large problem of brands, confused or not knowing our rules, creating accounts and posting deals in the main areas. This is against our guidelines and we're always chasing them down and banning accounts every day. Hopefully with Flash Deals, we'll give brands a legitimate, separate section that's clear and well understood by everyone. They can share 50% discount codes with us, and everyone wins. The rest of the site will stay the same.

 

If you have any questions, please ask them here and we'll answer any concerns you have and listen to your feedback.

Good to see people excited for the launch of flash deals.

If anyone has any questions about how it might work, or features they might like to see, please let us know - there may still be time to squeeze new things in before we put flash deals live 👍

Would you get points for posting Flash Deals

Thanks for your question! At the moment, the idea is that only brands / Amazon sellers will be able to post in the new Flash Deals section. They won‘t be getting points, no.

You, as a normal member, will still be able to find and post your own Amazon deals in the main areas of the site — as you do currently — and get points for them.

Will you be able to copy a deal from the new Flash Deals section and post it in the main area? We’d have to think about this as it may get messy with the duplicates. Good question!

Will the deals/sellers be checked to verify that the deals are real? i.e. that they haven't inflated the 'original' price to give 50% off? After every Black Friday I see posts about increased prices just before 'discounts'.

That’s a great question and probably our biggest challenge to overcome. We’ll have to monitor what happens and think of ways to avoid this.

LD members will still be able to comment on Flash Deals, so you can point out if it’s been cheaper in the past or if you’ve seen it cheaper elsewhere. There may be other tech solutions we can do too if this becomes a problem.

I completely agree with you that discount price inflation is a problem and the goal is to have the best deals possible.

Tom If your computer system can automatically check with Camel Camel Camel and show the cheapest price the item has been that will show how good each deal is. Ideally put this right next/below the new offer price for easy comparison for everyone. Something for your programmers I guess.

The "unique" codes will they be 1 time use for 1 person or unique they are specifically for LD?

Do you have to have Amazon prime to be able to get these deals?

Like
Tom
Founder

No. Anyone can get them, but if you have Amazon Prime then you'll enjoy the "free" delivery Amazon Prime offers.

We have made Amazon Prime a condition for the sellers, to ensure that all products are here in the UK at the time of dispatch. This is to avoid products being posted that are sent from China and take ages to arrive. Also has some quality benefits too.

To manage expectations - It will take a while for us to make Flash Deals really, really good. Don't expect it to be a full on VIPON experience on day one! We'll get there 🙂 I just have to haggle with hundreds of Amazon Sellers to get deals for us. Treat this like a beta, an experiment subject to improvements over time and you won't be disappointed.
