Ordinary stickers

There are a lot of posts in the Slickdeals community every day, many of which are spontaneously posted by users. Before they become popular posts, they are only displayed as FORUM THREAD

Popular deal

Popular deals are automatically marked by the big data system on Slickdeals. As long as the number of likes, clicks or views of a post exceeds a certain value, it will be automatically marked as "Popular". Here are some of the main factors:

A. The product is unique and users have strong demand for it. This type of product often arouses discussion and attention from users.

B. The discount should be big. If it is a very ordinary product, it is basically a "discount".

C. The authority of the poster. Posts by editors are more likely to get the popular tag than posts by forum celebrities. Similarly, posts by forum celebrities are more likely to get the popular tag than posts by ordinary users.

Frontpage deal

That is, the homepage post. When a post receives enough likes and positive comments (actually, it is a Popular deal), the Slickdeals editorial team will verify these deals to see if they are worthy of being recommended on the homepage. The following are the key measurement criteria:

A. The historical price of the product (especially whether the product has been on sale on Slickdeals before, the price at that time and the corresponding performance)

B. User reviews (the star rating and user reviews of the listings on the site are very important, and fake orders that are too obvious will not escape the editor's attention)

C. Expert evaluation (external evaluation, especially endorsement from major media, is very important. Before the deal is launched, send more evaluation samples to well-known media and opinion leaders in the product industry for evaluation)

D. Practicality

E. Inventory status

The deals on the homepage are constantly updated. Generally, the number of orders on the day of the homepage is very exaggerated, and the effect will gradually decrease afterwards. Slickdeals has a very high status among deal sites. Once it is on the homepage, many other deal sites and media will reprint it (media also have deal alert columns).

Featured Deals
