Released: 20th June 2016
On Monday 20th June, 2016, amidst the excitement of the London Tech Week launch event, Eyetease and Verifone Media announced that www.lovethesales.com were the winners of their #TeaseLondon competition.
The competition, which had a prize of £160,000 of taxitop advertising, saw 100’s of entries from a wide variety of businesses. After whittling these down to a 6-strong shortlist, judges interviewed the finalists and deliberated their decision in advance of the event. Russ Shaw, Founder of Tech London Advocates, was on hand to announce the winner to the several hundred strong crowd of London’s biggest names and influencers in tech.
Richard Corbett, Founder and CEO of Eyetease said: “As an entrepreneur who understands how difficult it can be to launch a new product into a competitive marketplace, #TeaseLondon was a great opportunity for us to see how we can help the next generation of startups! LoveTheSales.com are solving a real world problem and we couldn’t resist their story.”
The prize offers www.lovethesales.com 16 million impressions across the Eyetease taxi network, meaning they’ll be able to target a large cross section of London with geographical and time based targeted adverts.
Stuart McClure, co-Founder of www.lovethesales.com said, “To win the competition is amazing – a real honour to have been chosen. We are really excited by this prize and we can’t wait to start trying out some of the ideas we have with the technology Eyetease offer.”
The www.lovethesales.com platform aggregates discounted products from several hundred UK retailers, enabling consumers to quickly and easily browse all reduced items on sale in one site. The innovative business was borne out of the experience of one of the founding team. As a young father, Stuart often spent a lot of time searching site after site for the best reductions on the things his family needed. This was a very time consuming process and so the mission to make the sales quickly and easily accessible began.
Today the site is seeing huge month on month growth, with thousands of users visiting daily. Mark Solomon, co-Founder of www.lovethesales.com said, “The popularity of the site is growing daily. Many of the consumers we speak to say they wished they had found out about us sooner. Winning the #TeaseLondon competition means we can get the word out more than ever before, helping more and more people to find the brands they want at a price that’s right for them.”
The site has recently broken the 500,000 product mark, and is set to increase further still, as new retailers are being added on a weekly basis. This, combined with other recent successes including a place in the Start Ups 100 and selection for the Blick Rothenberg Tech Awards, means the team at www.lovethesales.com are helping more and more people every day.
LovetheSales.com is the world’s first and largest retail sales aggregator, enabling consumers to find and compare every product on sale, from 100s of retailers, to find the best prices on the brands and products they want. It features over 1,500,000 sale items on the site across all of its regions.
