Where has the time gone? Granted I was not with DealTaker when it began back in 2004, but I do remember when it began. Shortly after it’s inception I was working at JCPenney.com managing their affiliate program. In the midst of rebuilding that program and trying to make it as efficient as possible, we had closed it to invitation only. With DealTaker just down to road from the JCP HQ, the founder made a good attempt to get in as an affiliate, but alas they did not meet our minimum threshold for acceptance and I denied them entry. I still defend the action at the time- DealTaker was just not ready yet for Prime Time. However, a few short years later as DealTaker found it’s community (built on seekers of Black Friday Ads) and began to grow, my successor let DealTaker into the program (as have 1,600+ merchants now) and the rest is history.
DealTaker has been blessed to attract such a great and loyal community of users (over 180,000 registered users – amazing) and has found top quality merchants that want to partner to provide great deals and online shopping experiences.
This week, our merchants and community get to come together to celebrate in good, old fashioned birthday party style. Online we are having games and contests and here at the office we are actually inviting our fellow building tenants to have some cake and celebrate. Many thanks to all of our merchants that contributed birthday gifts that our users will get a chance to win. Happy Birthday DealTaker – 5 years down and many, many more to go…
DT - your future awaits you...
