Slick Deals gives users quick access to a wide array of deals.
Slick Deals has been operational for 15 years which is almost twice as long as some of their competitors. Their time in business has allowed them to adapt to the changes in the market for deal sites and create a platform that caters to the needs of their current client base.
Members are able to search for deals locally as well as search categories for companies that exist nationwide. Users can search for deals located in their own community or change their location to search for deals wherever they may be. This enables members to obtain deals from virtually anywhere. The best deals are located directly on the front page making it easy for consumers to access and obtain savings.
Slick Deals provides members with 4 main category tabs to search through including deals, coupons, browse, and forums. Each tab allows members to search for specific deals pertaining to different categories. The browse tab includes sub categories such as apple, apparel, automotive, children, computers, electronics, finance, freebies, games, jewelry, groceries, HDTV, home, and photo. The Forum tab allows members to visit online discussions of current deals and events allowing members to become informed about deals occurring in real time. Users can search for coupons pertaining to specific store locations through the coupons tab.
Members are able to set up deal alerts specific to a customer's preferences. Preferences can be linked to favorite stores, categories or products which interest each user. They also provide customers with a price tracker which allows users to track a product and receive notification when the price of the product drops.

The Bad
At first glance, this site can seem quite overwhelming due to such a clustered layout and so many different things that can be done and viewed on the site. There is definitely a learning curve. However, they've recently rolled out a new updated website that you can view by clicking on the relevant text at the very top of the site. If you aren't happy about the updated site, simply revert back to the old site by clicking the "classic view" at the top of the page in the same spot.
