What do you think of Latest Deals so far?
Feedback
I have added this thread because I've been a member for just over a month. I think the site is great and very unique because no other sites offer incentives like these guys do, also very community orientated and friendly too.
Would be lovely if we could all add our thoughts to the page.
It's slowly becoming popular as folks start checking it out and find it either by word of mouth or by a Google search. The incentives are sure to make users stick around too 'cause who doesn't like getting a free reward for posting deals, eh?
I've been on LD even before it was called Latest Deals, the first version was titled "Pedlar" which of course wasn't really as catchy or memorable as is now. The dashboard on Pedlar had a nifty feature, i.e., when you'd expire a deal it would update in real time rather than the need to refresh the page.
Thank you very much for posting this thread. It would be great to know what you guys think. The good and especially the bad - we want to fix things to make it better and better.
As Rockman mentioned, many users have been around for 1+ years when it was just Kelsey and Pedlar.
Deepak and I are relatively new to it all, joining Kelsey in August 2016.
I was introduced to LD via latest free stuff. I think its a great initiative and am sure to recommend
I found out about LD whilst reading the Daily Mail. I loved that this website is a platform for people interested in saving money. This is a very good user friendly site with lovely people. I have managed to get quite a number of amazing bargains as well
That's great insight to know you found out about us through the Daily Mail. When doing PR (trying to spread the word) I sometimes wonder about the usefulness of it. Now I know it is worth it!
I love LD. Sometimes the deals are amazing and I just can not resist them. Ohh and some of the deals are tempting..
I do not remember how I find out about the website, maybe on google, maybe on social media, but I really love the concept to help people to find good deals.
I believe it is really helps to people who have a small budget each month.
I have tried other sites but this is the one which I have felt at home with s its so useful. Rekindled my enthusiasm to enter compos and chase deals. The chat is a great feature too as it is such a friendly site.
Fantastic! If You Look At Other Sites It's Clear To See That LD Is The Site To Be On Pedlar Was Great What Kelsey Did On is Own
Was Amazing But Now He Has Teamed Up With Tom And Deepak Things Just Get Better Every Day "Scream If You Want To Go Faster"
If You Look At The Other Sites The Cheeky Beggars Are Nicking LD's Deals Which Shows LD Is The One To Watch
I have been with LD now since Sept 2016, kinda bumped onto the page on Twitter last year and have been addicted to say the least! Was a pleasure meeting Tom Deepak and the team recently in person! Such a fantastic team to know. They are truly awesome and fun in real life too just as they come across online Lots and lots of hard work and long working hours goes in the background to keep this site going and to encourage and engage new people, these guys are doing such a great job! I feel honoured and so so grateful to be working alongside LD & LFS, such a fab team to be with. Love, love, love it!
I love being part of this community. It's great to know that we are all helping each other out and offering some great deals, freebies, comps and vouchers for those life necessities and luxuries of course.
Winning the Top Fan prize on LFS, spurred me on to add content on this site. Although, I was already contributing to LFS and other sites via facebook. I have been contributing to Magicfreebies UK, HUKD and other bespoke websites for a while and just added LFS and LD to my regulars. It's a fun hobby, with benefits!
Oh love this thread, thanks to everyone who has come to join us in the last few months. As Tom mentioned already the site is growing nicely and we would love to continually get your feedback on how to improve the site. I'm sure over time we'll continue to build on the amazing community we already have..
I like it. I've found it fairly easy to use and it's got a good community feel. The only thing I've found awkward is writing on my android phone. Frequently it flips about and onto random links. I think an android app would be brill! I think it's manageable though (I'm just a bit of a Victor Meldrew!).
Hey MellonE thanks for the feedback! We're constantly trying to improve the website (especially on Android where we seemingly have a few resilient bugs!). By flip about do you mean when your on the homepage you accidentally go into deal pages whilst scrolling?
I might have to keep an eye out on LD for Android phone deals so I can create a whole army of phones to test LD on
MellonE Welcome. I check LD all the time on my Android and honestly, I've not come across those issues so it's possible it's phone-specific.
MellonE Do you use Chrome or a different browser?
That exact issue used to happen to me too but after Chrome updated it never happened again. I use a Vodafone Smart 7 (only cost me £14.99 and frankly, it's perfectly fine for what I want ).
Rockman lol I wish I could get away with a different phone but my Asperger's makes using a different model impossible! I've had samsung phones since I was 21. I have regularly upgraded to the exact same handset because the different lay out confuses me on new phones. As well as struggling with change to routine I'm also Dyspraxic! It's a wonder I can do anything on it!
Im glad to see that LD has picked up I spilled over from Pedlar, which TBH I quite miss - I preferred the name, and it felt very organic (and I shared my first deal on there Xmas eve 2015) but it didn't seem to reach a large audience. The reach of LD seems to be far greater, and I can see a lot of enthusiasm on here, which certainly keeps me going!
i hope the enthusiasm continues to spread like wildfire!!!
I think it's brilliant and love how everyone roots for everyone else. I have had the Beyonce Heat deal and enteres 1000s of comps (none won yet) but love this
I think you're a cool kid who's playing at bargain hunting when it's a serious business for grown ups. Having a copy cat is flattering but can get grating after a while. Miaow...
And that's why this site is great, because it isn't a "serious business" run by "grown ups" who shove it full of adverts.
And name a site like this that gives back with points and Amazon vouchers as much as LD does?
Sandy She won't be able to because it doesn't exist. I know where this is going and imo, it's better to just leave it as is.
