dealplumber is LIVE! We took the veils off at 12:01AM Pacific Time on Monday, July 17th 2006 which marks the culmination of 6 months of our laser-focused efforts to (aim to) bring a truly new dimension to the online deals and discounts landspace.

When I registered the domain on June 10th, 2004, I was sure of one thing - the deals and coupons space is huge but equally fragmented, making it very difficult for users to get access to the latest and best deals going on. Only the diligent users who have the patience to search and scour for deals, benefitted, while most others (including me - I am frugal but I value my time more than a few dollars of savings) gave up and just bought whatever product or service they needed after a quick comparison shopping search, which doesn’t bring out the best deals going on at any time. Even the diligent deal finders found that they did not know of some deals and coupons that their friends and family knew of. The situation is still the same and may be worse as the fragmentation has grown and added to the information overload.

The deals landscape is made of lots of tiny islands of deal intelligence with no communication between them, which I believe, is a loose-loose situation. The users are loosing on some really cool bargains. The merchants are loosing out on new customer acquisition (and hence their campaign ROI) and affiliates are loosing out by not being able to get their hard-found-deals to more users looking for them.

This is the exact problem we aim to solve at dealplumber. dealplumber.com will bring together deals and coupons and promotions from all users, affiliates and merchants for all users looking for deals & discounts. If you know what you are going to buy, dealplumber is the place you need to spend 30 seconds on, to find an associated deal and save … and feel smart! Affiliates can post their best deals - “with your own affiliate IDs/links” to drive a stronger distribution of your deals online, and see increased commission streams. Sorry, no xml deal uploads and no spam accepted. Merchants can use dealplumber in a number of ways and we’ll be working with you closely in the coming weeks and months.

Deal Pages
User experience has been one central theme as we conceptualized and designed and built dealplumber. We have created deal pages (like Yellow Pages) to quickly give you access to deals and promotions on specific products. Check the deal pages for laptops, laptops under $1000 and so on for a quick preview. Was that fast? Easy? Useful? Anything you didn’t like? Let us know.

Faster with Grid View
For super deal processors, a Grid View may be just what you were looking for. Take a peek here and let us kow what you think.

dealplumber is in its infancy and we hope to grow it bigger and smarter with your participation, support and feedback. So come on over and find some good deals & save, and share the ones you know of.

If you are an affiliate, you can get a lot more outreach and exposure for your deals by posting them on dealplumber (the links are your own affiliate links). Let us know if you have any questions by sending an email to powerdealers [at] dealplumber.com.

Merchants, we want to work with you to popularize your best deals of the week, day and hour. We aim to work very closely with online merchants to bring your best promotions to our users. You can start by creating a free dealplumber account or email us at merchantpartners [at] dealplumber.com and we’ll set you up.
