RDeals.ca Canada: Rogers launches Daily Deals of the Day Website

Rogers Digital Media has jumped on the daily deals phenomenon by launching their own daily deals website called RDeals.ca. Similar to other group buying websites, RDeals will feature local and national limited-time deals with savings of up of 50-90% off.

I’m excited to see what RDeals.ca will be able to offer thanks to Rogers already well established and massive audience across Canada (Ie. Rogers Wireless, Rogers Sportsnet, Rogers Cable, City-TV, The Shopping Channel and all the publishing and web properties that they own.)

What is RDeals.ca?
RDeals.ca is your chance to save up to 90% on your favourite finds. We offer local and national deals on can’t-miss products, services and experiences — all to help make your day (at least) 90% more fun.

I’ll keep a close eye on RDeals.ca and will post some of their hotter deals on the blog.

Blogger Service Disruption (May 12-13)

Canada Deals Blog is hosted on Blogger.com and their entire network was down for over 24 hours. You were still able to view and access the blog, but I couldn’t log into the account to do anything. Because of this, I was not able to update the blog this morning.

Blogger is one of the largest websites in the world and they’re working hard on fixing the issue. They are trying to restore their network back to a previous stable version (Wednesday, May, 11) which has resulted in them deleting all of my posts from yesterday (Thursday, May 12).

It looks like Blogger is FINALLY up and running! I was finally able to log into my account and according to Blogger’s status page, they are slowly restoring the posts that were temporarily removed.

Sorry for the inconvenience everyone! I was sitting by my computer refreshing the page every couple minutes waiting for Blogger to be back to normal.

Thanks for reading and supporting Canada Deals Blog.

BLOG NEWS: Toronto Deals Blog was featured in the Toronto Star!

Click the Image to Enlarge

Toronto Star reporter Vanessa Lu contacted me a couple weeks ago and wanted to interview me and write an article about Toronto Deals Blog! I of course graciously accepted! The phone interview lasted a little over half an hour and the article was published in the Toronto Star newspaper a couple Saturday’s ago! I apologize it took me so long to post about it. I really wanted to post an electronic copy of the article so it would be easier to read, but I couldn’t find one so I took a picture of it with my camera. You can click the image above or click here to read the article. It’s a lot easier to read if you save the image on your computer and then enlarge the image with your photo viewer.

I’ve never had my name featured in the paper before so I was very excited when I first saw it. I immediately posted the picture of the article on my Facebook page and told all my friends and family about. I purchased a bunch of copies of the paper and even framed a copy of the newspaper clipping 🙂

The website traffic spiked like crazy the day the article was published. We saw a huge amount of Torontonians visit the blog and subscribed to our daily deals emailing list.

I am very grateful of all the support and can’t thank each and everyone of you enough for reading and supporting Toronto Deals Blog. I only started this blog about 6 months ago and I would have never thought my little blog about shopping deals would ever get so many readers and be featured on Global TV News and in the Toronto Star! It’s been a fun and incredible ride thus far and I can’t wait to see what the future will bring. I’ll continue to work hard and happily wake up every morning at 3am so I can find and share all of Toronto’s best and hottest deals with you.

Regards,
