A New Face For The New Year

On DealDash, bidders love to show a bit of their personality in the auctions by choosing a funny or witty username, and of course selecting an avatar of their choice. The avatar is the photo that displays next to your username while you bid. DealDashers either select from a premade group of cartoon avatars, or they upload a photo of their own to use on the mobile apps.

Start off 2021 by looking your best!

Over the years, we have introduced exciting new items, promotions, and gameplay features to DealDash, but the avatars have stayed the same. We might have been overlooking them to work on other matters, but today we are proud to announce that we are not neglecting avatars anymore! In fact, we have 42 new avatars that are ready for you to begin using immediately!

A friendly face for any occasion

Putting your best face forward on DealDash is easy across all devices! On desktop, you can change your profile avatar from your Dashboard section. On Android, open the main app menu (three lines at the top left of the main screen), then tap your picture in the top left. On iOS, tap Dashboard → Settings, then your picture in the top left. Then all that’s left is deciding which new avatar is best for you!

With our new avatars, now you will have a face for every occasion, or auction!

From firemen to zombies, there is something for everyone! And if you really want to get in on the fun, take a guess at which one of the new avatars will be most popular! Let us know your guess by sending an email to our support team, and if you turn out to be right, we just might have a prize waiting for you. For reference, the most popular of our old avatars was the beloved garden gnome.

What Matters Most This Time Of Year

The holiday season can be tough. There are gifts to buy, people to see, and things to do. All of that on top of day to day responsibilities that don’t go anywhere, either. Unfortunately, the 2020 holiday season is a very difficult time for folks all over the country. Many Americans have lost their jobs because of the economic problems caused by COVID, and they don’t know what to do. For them, the holidays are not so much about gift giving and seeing family.

We try to go above and beyond to help make the holidays easier for our customers.

The holidays are about trying to scrape by. Here at DealDash, we believe that the true spirit of the holidays is helping as many folks enjoy the season as possible. We aim to go above and beyond whenever possible to deliver top notch service to our customers and also help make the holiday season a bit easier. We call these situations Christmas miracles, and to help you get in the spirit of the holidays, we want to share a few of our Christmas miracles with you.

The Importance of This Cheap Item May Surprise You…

Try to imagine for a moment that you need to spend the night outside. What would you take with you to prepare? A heavy jacket and sloe gloves? Maybe a sleeping bag? Some food to snack on would be nice. Whatever you decide on taking with you, spending the night away from the comfort of your own bed does not sound very nice. Unfortunately, this is the harsh reality that over half-a-million Americans face every night, according to an official report published by the U.S Government. And believe it or not, the most in-demand item for folks that have to sleep rough is not a heavy jacket or even a sleeping bag, but socks.

Daily Free Christmas Gift Countdown!

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, everywhere you go! Michael Bublé, and a few other artists, have sang these words, and this time of year, it’s true! It is beginning to look a lot like Christmas, indeed. The lights have been hung, trees are perched in living rooms around America, and most families (and hopefully you too!) are enjoying some eggnog, gingerbread, and other Christmas treats. Unless you got your shopping done early, you are probably searching for cheap Christmas presents online. Some folks are enjoying receiving some Christmas presents already by opening an Advent Calendar, a traditional gift that has a box that is opened each day of December to reveal a small surprise.

Have you ever opened an Advent Calendar? They date all the way back to the mid 1800’s where pieces of candy were attached to a piece of wood and given to children. The idea is that each day, a box could be opened to reveal a new piece of candy, and that is pretty much how they work today! Nowadays there are countless types of Christmas calendars that gift everything from candy to cosmetics! If you have never had an Advent Calendar, don’t fret; we have you covered with our 11 Days of DealDash promotion that is just like, you guessed it, a countdown to Christmas. Simply log in each day starting on December 13th and claim a free gift that will help you strike deals online at DealDash.com!

The Best Deals Continue During Cyber Monday Week!

Black Friday has come and gone. Many retailers were left disappointed and waiting for crowds of people that never materialized. Black Friday sales plummeted this year compared to previous years and were down over 50%! While sales numbers have dropped for traditional stores, online companies like DealDash are thriving. Shopify, a company that hosts websites for thousands of brands around the word, announced global sales numbers of $2.4 billion—a 75% increase from last year!

More Winners During Cyber Monday Week

A normal DealDash auction has just one winner. Usually, that is. Recently we introduced a new promotion called the Runner-Up Discount that revolutionized online auctions by rewarding the second place finisher with a reduced Buy It Now Price! For example, let’s say you came in second place in an auction for a handbag. After the auction ends, you will receive a discounted Buy It Now offer for 50% the original price.
