COMMUNITY

 

 

 

What is a Shopping Community?

At Little Birdie, we think the best experiences in life are shared. Whilst Social Media & SmartPhones have done a good job with family, friends, and fake life hacks, we believe that shopping has been a bit left out. We’re striving to build a community of people who love a bargain and a bit of a humblebrag. You can take an active or passive role in the community, though there will be plenty of rewards on offer for our Top Spotters (aka Deal Hunters) and highly engaged members!

 

 

Community Guidelines

Little Birdie is a community-driven site, and our members and their happiness are of key importance to us. These guidelines are here to make sure our community and its members always have a great experience when using the platform.

• Do not insult or belittle others.
• Do not personally attack other members.

How Do I Submit A Deal?

 

Submitting a deal is as easy as losing a chip to a seagull at the beach. There are 3 different types of deals you can submit, which are outlined below. Simply click on the “Post” button and fill in the required information.

 

Price Drop: A discount on a specific product - i.e., Apple iPhone 12 - Now $1250 (Was $1599)

Voucher: A voucher that allows customers to get a discount off a product or range from a store - i.e., 15% Off All Homewares at LB Furniture With Voucher "TOLDME15"

Sale Event:  A time or quantity limited sale on a range of items from a store that doesn’t require a voucher to be used. Note: Standard clearance sections would not qualify for this, though a great price on a clearance item would be perfect for a Price Drop. - i.e., $20 discount for every $100 spent at Birdie Industries this weekend!

 

 

Deal Submission Guidelines

When submitting a deal, it is important to give as much information as possible to the community. The deal submission is designed to capture most of the required information. When posting a deal, you should;

 

• Review all available tags and make best efforts to use the right tags.
• If the deal is limited in its availability, please ensure that it’s detailed in the description.
• Try with reasonable effort to determine if the deal has already been posted, and if it has, do not post the same deal again.

 

Commenting & Voting Advice

 

One of the most exciting parts about the Little Birdie world is the commenting and voting. It means that every deal is open to review, and members can help and be helped by thousands of other Little Birdies. As with any community or entry to a colouring-in competition, staying within the line helps. As such, we suggest following the below guidelines for commenting or voting to make Little Birdie a buzzing community of happinest.

 

• Don’t give out personal information. If you have had a bad experience with a brand or store, please let others know but let’s keep names, numbers, and email addresses out of it. This is a safe space for all.
• Don’t self grandiose. If you’ve got a store that sells something at a cheaper price, that is awesome - post a listing so others can find it. Feel free to downvote the deal if you think it isn’t the best deal available. This includes putting a signature at the end of your post. Don’t do it.
• No Referral Reward Links - If you’ve got a code to share as an affiliate for a brand, the comments are not the place to share that. Use them as they were intended and share them with friends and family directly.
• No Personal Abuse - We’re super excited about conversation and how different opinions bring out the best outcomes; HOWEVER, attacking the poster of a comment is absolutely outside the rules. If you have a problem with a poster, please do reach out to us so we can address it as quickly as possible.
• Follow the Moderation Guidelines - Yep, it’s an all-encompassing one, though Profanity, Discrimination, Inappropriate or Malicious links are all not allowed. Spamming comments will also be moderated accordingly.

 

We think these are all pretty common-sense guidelines to build a thriving and inclusive community, so if you think there are any issues, please reach out to us! Failure to comply with these guidelines will result in banning members and possible account suspension.
