The Christmas Countdown

Thursday, September 1st, 2011

Can it really be true that some retailers are already looking ahead to Christmas? You bet it can!

The reality is that most stores (both online and offline) will have been planning for months already. They’ll be wanting to maximise the income that they generate over the festive period.

As consumers, we’ll be on the look out for bargains of course! Here at Offer UK, we have some great plans for the months ahead. We’ll be taking a look at the very best discount codes and offers that are made available across a wide range of areas.

It doesn’t quite seem natural to think about Christmas just yet – the summer’s not been great, but there’s no snow on the ground here yet! But it’s always a great time to think about shopping and getting great deals online.

That’s what we’re here for!

A note about discount code expiry dates

Wednesday, October 6th, 2010

So we’ve just listed a discount code from Walktall, with an expiry date of Friday.

Some of you will probably find this infuriating. It means that you’ll need to spot the offer quickly in order to take advantage of it. We realise that this isn’t always easy. So why does the offer run for such a limited period of time?

Many retailers do issue vouchers in this way. Some are open to suggestions and we do try to make the case for extending expiry dates where possible. But retailers aren’t always open to such suggestions. This isn’t because they are looking to annoy potential customers. It’s often because margins are extremely tight and they can only afford to run a promotion for a limited time period.

Indeed, we know that some stores run such promotions as loss-leaders. In effect, they make a loss on the first sale because of the discount voucher. They hope that this will make sense in the long run because customers will love their products and service so much that they’ll come back again…and again…and again!

But there’s clearly a risk involved for the retailer in many cases.

Hopefully this explains why you will occasionally see offers that do only run for a short time period. We know that it’s still frustrating.

Is there anything that you can do to avoid this issue? It’s not always realistic for you to check this site every day. We know that. But you can sign up to our mailing list to get regular updates on the very latest codes. That can certainly help.

We want to make sure that you have access to all of the very latest offers. We’re here, after all, to help you save money.

Walktall: Free delivery discount code

Wednesday, October 6th, 2010

We like what Walktall have to offer. Unlike some fashion outlets, they realise that we’re not all a standard size. As a result, they don’t try to pigeon-hole customers.

Instead, they specifically look to provide clothing and shoes to suit those who may have a larger frame. It’s a refreshing approach.

They get an extra thumbs-up right now for having issued a discount code. It means that customers will receive free delivery on orders. It can only be used by UK customers.

To take advantage of this deal, visit our Walktall promotional link. Choose your items and then enter discount code WTPOST1010 at the checkout.

This offer expires 11.59pm on 8 October 2010.
