The 'Bundle-Only' marketplace for creatives.

Dealotto is a creative marketplace where every item you see is a bundle. No individual products allowed, just fantastic collections of high quality goods all in one easy package, posted by the creators themselves.

Great to see Dealotto come back! 🙌(I was an early user myself) I'm curious, what are your plans for distinguishing this platform from Creative Market and the like?

@devinrajaram Great to hear you were an early user back in the day, thanks for the question Devin! Basically I want to make Dealotto the destination for bundles, and bulk-buying resources without anything else getting in the way. Essentially making it the easiest place to pick up lots of assets at once safe in the knowledge that the quality is always there. Beyond that, I want to work on ways to make it easier for sellers to monetise their hard work (subscriptions etc) while keeping it fun for buyers too.

@liammckay the design of this site looks so well put together, which is a given with your involvement. I remember being an early adopter of Dealotto many years ago and it was great. I have some questions: ⏰ How long does it take for submissions by sellers to be approved? 📢 What type of promotions do you offer for sellers, are you relying mostly on organic traffic at this stage? 🖼 Do you monitor the artwork that goes up, the listings look very slick now.

@marcperel Thanks for the kind words, I certainly had fun on the re-design and it's great to give new life to something that's been around for 6 years or more! To answer some of your questions: ⏰ Instead of submitting items, we hand-pick the creators that we work with and then give them full control of their store, their bundles and their prices. The effort goes in to finding the right people, rather than nit-picking each and every item that comes through. My focus is on adding new sellers only when they are a good fit, rather than racing to sign up as many new shops as we can. New sellers can apply too though & that approval process shouldn't take any more than 24 hours. 📢 As for promotion, we have an active subscriber list of around 25k+ people that we can utilise to get the right products in front of the right people. Alongside this we also have our larger monthly bundle promotions, giveaways and freebies which should help grow the audience for the marketplace too. 🖼 The awesome artwork for each listing comes down to picking the right sellers and trusting that they are the best people to showcase their products. I've worked in this space for many years and I try to use everything I've learnt over the years when deciding who to work with. I'm personally on hand to help seller make any tweaks or improvements to their listings if needed too. We can remove any items that don't quite fit, but I don't foresee that bring a problem so long as I keep reaching out to the right sellers. Cheers for checking the new direction & thanks for the thoughtful questions Marc!

Congrats on the relaunch Liam! What happened in-between? It became inactive for a long time I think. And what made you to relaunch it? Still working @creativemarket or Is this full-time now? ~Surjith

@surjithctly Dealotto was always a side-project of mine, and without a marketplace element it always relied heavily on a lot of behind-the-scenes work that was prone to hold ups, mistakes and problems that impacted how often bundles could go out. Each bundle used to be put together by me, with lots of moving parts, and lots of things that could go wrong, they so often did. This meant lots of time fixing issues and fighting fires, taking time away from actually posting bundles. In short, the process wasn't suited to the time I had to give it, and we got unlucky with a lot of things outside of our control. I always kept the site ticking over in the background as I knew that one day I could find the time to fix all of the problems with the flow so that the site could be more self-sufficient and smoother to run. So fuelled by lots of ideas and a love for the scene it was only a matter of time before I found the time and effort to fix it up, now here we are and I couldn't be happier! I had a lovely time working at Creative Market, and even helped them set up their own bundle system in my time there, but I left my position there a couple of years ago now. Thanks!

I was an early adopter of Dealotto a few years ago, and as a seller it was great to interact with them.

I'm excited to see what the relaunch holds for new sellers.

Pros:

Great deals to be had, and great design.

Cons:

Lacking catalogue volume (guess this will come soon)

I love Dealotto. Having used previous versions, I was excited to see what the relaunch would look like! It's even better than I could have imagined. The design is clean and the search is great making it easy to find assets when I need them for a blog post image or side project.

Pros:

Brilliant marketplace for bundles of digital assets (especially from talented designers).

Cons:

Small catalog, but growing!
