Virtually in every house there is Internet. And we use it many times to buy. But, at the same time, also to look for bargains. And in this sense, there are several websites that help you find them. Such is the case of Chollometro.
But, what is Chollometro? Where are you from? How was it founded? Is it as good as it seems? Below we will talk about it so that you know it (if you have not already visited it).
What is Chollometer
Chollometro can be defined as a web platform (although they also have an application) that is used to find offers on the Internet, and even to add some that you discover for yourself. In this way, all people can help find "bargains" from which to benefit.
We give you an example. Imagine that you find a Playstation 5 console in a store for 300 euros. They are on sale and they sell it at that price and not at 550 which is what it usually costs. Of course, if you were after it, you will most likely buy it. But you can also go to Chollometro and post an offer talking about the page and saying what you have to do to acquire it.
Thus, Chollometro has become one of the best websites to find products and/or services at much more affordable prices (sometimes almost for free) and there are many who are part of its community and who they are pending every day to find real bargains.
What is the origin of Chollometro
In case you don't know, Chollometro is Spanish. Very Spanish. It was created in Seville by three university students. The creation date? 2017. So it's relatively new.
However, if you visit it, you will most likely think that it has been around for many more years due to the repercussions it has as well as brand recognition.
But Chollometro was not really born as a website. Actually, it has its beginnings, three years before its origin, in 2015, as a Telegram channel. There, three students, Manuel Zabala, Adrián del Arco and Miguel Nogales, used to upload discounts they found on the Internet to this channel. The name of this one was @Chollos. And if you're wondering, yes, it's still active and they post a lot of offers, some that appear on their website, and others that are exclusive to the channel.
And, of course, this began to grow and grow until they saw that it could be a good idea to create a website/community that would house many buyers. In fact, it has become the largest community of buyers in all of Spain, And with its union with Pepper, which is the largest buying community in the world, it has a position that many others would want.
In 2015, about a month after creating @Chollos, they launched another channel, @Descuentos, also active.
Bargain Kings
What not many people know is that, before the Chollometro website, there was a different one, called reyesdelchollo.com, their first website, where they captured the offers they uploaded to Telegram to reach a larger audience.
We have tried to visit the web, and it has a redirection to Chollometro. But on the Internet you can still see some images of what it was like or of the logo they used (completely different from the current one).
How Chollometer works
The truth is that Chollometro is very easy to use. And to benefit from the offers that are published.
A community member, or one of the editors on the team, posts a bargain. The first ones are reviewed to find out if it is indeed a bargain or not. The latter, because they are part of the team, are published directly.
Once published you can vote for or against them. That is to say, if you vote in favor of the fact that it is a good bargain, you will raise the temperature of this offer. On the other hand, if it is not a good discount, you can lower the temperature (if it goes down too much it freezes and is no longer considered a bargain).
In case you are interested in the offer, you just have to click on the link and, in some cases, follow the steps that they give you to achieve that price that they have set for you. In addition, they warn that, sometimes, that click affects them in benefits, money that they use to finance the platform and that it continues.
The Chollometer team
Chollometro is made up of several groups. Among them, we have the following:
- community support, who are the ones who review the bargains, community comments... Their goal is to protect users, avoid fights and that all the information that is published is truthful.
- editors, those who look for bargains and detect offers to create high-quality content to be published.
- Partnership managers, They are the ones who are in contact with the stores to try to get bargains from them from which the entire Chollometro community can benefit.
- Marketing, a team that what it does is share the bargains on social networks, make a newsletter and reach more people.
- Development and design team, so that the web as well as the application go well and there are no problems.
- Administrative, so that all the procedures are correct and comply with the law.
- founders, not just the three partners, but a few more faces have been included.
What you should keep in mind is that you can be part of Chollometro. Through Linkedln they publish offers to be part of their team, and In addition, you can also send them a request to work with them through their email.
What is the future of Chollometro
Over the years, Chollometro has been consolidating itself as one of the most important websites to buy with discounts or find offers that may be tempting.. The founders themselves do not know what will happen in the future, but they are sure that it will be something big.
And it is that the boom that this venture has had, and the fact that it is something that everyone is looking for (we all like to buy as cheap as possible), means that, if they continue like this, they can evolve but retain the main objective with which they were born: find bargains when buying.
