“In these hard financial times…”

We hear many press releases start with that phrase, quite often when they are written by the PR for an online voucher code website. Such press releases will often go on to explain how, in credit-crunched moments, it is best to visit such a website in order for consumers to take advantage of the huge price competition which exists online.

What many of these websites will not tell you is that they usually receive a commission for every sale they generate – sometimes as much as 20%!

They earn a commission via affiliate networks, or merchants own in-house affiliate programs.

Other popular online Voucher Codes, deals and discount listing websites, charge the merchants a monthly fee to list their latest discount offers, thereby bypassing the “paid on results” model, but adding a burdensome expense (into thousands) for the retailer in question.

And haven’t we all seen it in the past 18 months or so: it isn’t the consumer who is hurting; it is the retailer!

These stealthy charges from online voucher code merchants are often unheard of, so that, when the proprietor of a small or medium sized online shop looks into the possibility of getting listed with a voucher codes website, he or she will often meet with a rude awakening: that this heavily saturated market is dominated by a few key players who charge a lot to list your deals. The voucher code affiliate cares little for who is the best value, and more for their own bottom line.

Deal85.com is different. Deal85.com will list any deal or discount offer, whether or not you operate an affiliate program, and without asking you for payment of any kind.

As long as you add the Deal85.com badge to your website, they will build you your very own “Retailer Page” within either the UK or the US section of their excellent website.

And, because the badge on your website links back to only your shop’s deals and discounts (much like a Facebook or Twitter badge would) your customers can find your Voucher Codes, sales info, deals and discounts without you losing your sales to one of the major Voucher Codes affiliate websites – something Deal85.com describe as “a true win win!”

Because of its total deals freedom, and the fact Deal85.com let retailers add their own deals (and who knows about forthcoming offers better than you, the retailer!?) the website benefits from market leading organic search engine placement and, more than that, a growing bank of happy users in the UK and America.
