How to Save Money in Preston
|
With the UK market in its current situation coupled with the rate of inflation, it is becoming more and more difficult to afford to buy things if you're going to pay full price for them. The cost of living has increased far more than the basic wage, so it’s pretty understandable that the number of people signing up for online discount sites has increased exponentially in the past few years, in addition to the more traditional methods of saving money, such as recycling, throwing less away, and taking coupons and vouchers from newspapers, magazines and the like.
Obviously the pinch has been felt up and down the United Kingdom, in cities, towns and villages; perhaps nowhere more so than the north of England. Competition for business is fiercer than ever before since the stakes are so much higher, with many shops having shut down, with some companies going bust entirely. Some reports suggest that high streets in the north of England are among the sparsest, with cities such as Leeds and Preston displaying up to half of their shop fronts boarded up in some areas.
If you live or shop in Preston, due to the massive competition for your money, it's now possible to get a great deal more for what you’re paying if you know where to look. Though inflation has meant that products are generally more expensive, discounts are available on everything from holidays, to fireplaces, to days out for the family and computers. There are the usual high street window offers that there are in every city, of course, but Preston is about to see a revolution in the way people receive discount vouchers and deals.
It is now possible to receive discount vouchers straight to your mobile phone, simply while you are walking around Preston. The first venue to incorporate Bluetooth marketing technology will be Preston North End football club in their game against Oldham Athletic, where fans will be asked if they wish to receive great deals in messages that come straight to their mobile phones. By clicking yes, users will get discount vouchers that they can show to cashiers at the point of sale and receive massive discounts that cannot be found anywhere else. From an advertiser's perspective this allows the targeting only of their specific audience, and from a consumer's perspective they will only get deals that they actually want to use. This is an interesting study into the future of saving money in Preston and beyond. |
