If you could design a coupon code site, it can do anything, anything at all (well you get the idea!) so what features or functions would you include? This is a question the top-class team at Mindwork Labs asked themselves. The London-based technology company have utilized the development and marketing skills they are renowned for to come up with MyDeals is this the start of a new era for coupon code sites?
Okay, so what have they done that is worthy of a blog post? Well, firstly, they have gone for a global approach but with localized results. What this means to us, the consumers, is that we can go on MyDeals anywhere in the world and it will only show us the local results which are obviously the most relevant ones to us at that time. I’m sure our Canadian readers can emphasize with the pain of having to trawl through USA-focused sites to find coupon codes that can be used in Canada. Another, most obscure but useful nonetheless, reason this international site will be helpful is when you go on holiday, the money-saving can continue! So you can save money on the travel, the clothes to take on holiday, the accommodation, the suitcases, the sun cream, and the handheld fans before you go and then when you get there you can save on days out, food and drinks!
The site isn’t hard to use or filled up with codes that expired long ago. It has been built with the sole purpose of user experience so everything from the intelligent search bar through to the menu structure was built to save us time. The site is currently during its ‘soft-launch’ phase so take a look now and then keep popping back to see what features they are rolling out and then you can decide for yourself whether you will change from your current site to My Deals.
‘My’ was specifically chosen by the company for this brand because of the personalisation features that will become clear in months to come. The basic principle of this is that every user will see a different site effectively; a site that meets the consumers’ needs and is relevant. For example, if you like technology and sport, you won’t be bombarded with teenage girl’s heel coupons on the homepage of this site because you are unlikely to be shopping for them!
It will be interesting to see where My Deals ends up but it’s great to have someone else in the market because that can only mean more choice for us, the consumers!
