Voucher code website generates £1 for UK retail sales per visitor

by James Agate

www.shoppingvouchers.co.uk has announced that every customer who visits the site is generating an incredible £1 for UK retail sales.

Launched in July 2009, by internet marketing company, 3Convert, www.shoppingvouchers.co.uk is one of the UK’s fastest growing money saving websites. It has nearly 250,000 members, 1,000 new members joining every day and 25,000 page impressions a day.

Tom Packer, an entrepreneur with real drive and passion, founded the company with Mike Beech when he was 23 years old and got funding from Ross Williams, CEO of Global Personals Ltd having been turned down by countless other investment firms. They targeted Ross for investment after seeing him in a very expensive car, doing some research, asking for an hour of his time and eventually Ross conceeded and agreed to a meeting – the rest is, as they say history!

Tom Packer said, “It’s fantastic that our site is positively contributing to UK retail sales. To see that every visitor is effectively worth £1 in retail sales is a very interesting. We had expected this figure to be much lower but actually found that month-on-month the figure is increasing and in June it was nearer to £1.50 for every visitor.”

He added, “There is no denying that shopping habits have really changed due to the recession and consumers are now very price conscious. Once people realise they really can save money by using the codes on www.shoppingvouchers.co.uk, they check us out before making a purchasing and keep using the discounts we offer and in turn make money for our retail partners.”

Rather than charging companies a monthly fee for listing their discounts, the site simply asks for a reciprocal link making this a free marketing tool and revenue generating opportunity.
