:sweeten the deal
• YOU DON'T GO OUT to dinner without
at least a 'complimentary side' voucher.
• You haven't paid full price for a movie in
years.
• You have purchased more than three
items through a discount website in the past
month… and not because you needed or even
wanted the product – it was simply too good
of a deal to ignore.
• The first thing you do in the morning is
check your emails to ensure you don't miss
out on any limited stock bargains.
• And you consider the 10+ emails that flood
your inbox each day with updates on the
latest daily deals not as spam but as valued
and important information.
If you've answered yes to two or more of the
above you, my friend, are a discount websiteaholic.
While vouchers and coupons did and continue to dictate your retail experiences, discount websites
offering miscellaneous products and services at heavily reduced prices are now your sanctuary.
Don't get me wrong, I love half price spa treatments as much as the next girl but have we really become
all about the discount? Is paying full price for a meal at a good quality restaurant too much of a burden
that only a complimentary beverage can lure us in?
Matt East from www.mightyape.co.nz agrees that New Zealanders love hunting down a bargain, so the
explosion of daily discount websites comes as no surprise. The bargains get delivered to your inbox and
you can pick and choose the ones you want.
www.crazysales.co.nz General Manager, Cindy Wang says that while her online discount site continues
to grow in popularity she understands that online shopping is ...
"Definitely not just about discounts. Online shopping is an emerging trend of
the retail industry. It provides the most convenient way of shopping. The use of
electronic devices, especially smartphones, is encouraging the emerge of e-commerce
businesses as consumers can now shop and compare identical products and prices
anywhere they are and whenever they would like to".
