Splendora’s SalesCast Aggregates Flash Sales On The Go

Posted on 16 June 2010

Flash sales have proven to be a valuable place to find a deal on almost anything; from clothing to travel to home goods to wine. But with growing number of flash sales sites out there, it can be overwhelming to track every sale each day via individual emails. Splendora’s SalesCast iPhone app aggregates over 20 sales into one free app.
SalesCast, which is free, pulls in sales from Gilt Groupe, HauteLook, One Kings Lane, Daily Candy’s Swirl, Rue La La and more. You can flag favorite sales to create your own custom reminder list and filter sales by category, including Women, Beauty, Lifestyle, Home, Kids, Men. Of course, when you want to buy, you can click through the app to purchase an item from the flash sales’ site.
Splendora’s founder, Gina Pell, created the app after she found she was missing sales because of the barrage of emails from sample sale sites that flooded her inbox. She wanted to be able to see all the sales when they were ready to shop, and have the sales organized.
Splendora, which is a fashion news site similar to Refinery29, will eventually create a web-based app for Salescast. Of course, this isn’t the first app to aggregate sales. MyNines, which launched a few months ago, also aggregates flash sales sites.
