Best online discount deals revealed

It’s every shopper’s dream - information that shows when to shop for the best discount deals on a retailer’s agenda. The gesture best described as customer service at its best comes courtesy of leading online voucher site Savoo.co.uk which decided to

release industry data to show consumers that it is dedicated to helping them get the best value deals online and to help them make the best choices about when to shop for certain items.

The saving trends data reveals exactly what month retailers offer the biggest discounts on a range of everyday shopping items, from clothing and electronics, travel and entertainment, to children and teens. Contrary to popular belief January is the best month to shop, Savoo.co.uk’s savings data pinpoints July as the best month to make purchases on clothing, shoes and accessories, with available savings hitting a mammoth 60%.

January did however reveal to be the best time for families to grab bargains on kids, babies and teen purchases, with discounts hitting almost 40%.

With VAT rising by 2.5% points to 20% as the new government seeks to balance the books by 2015, consumers will be forced to pay even more for the purchase of everyday and essential items, which will hit many people hard – especially families. Savoo.co.uk, a free online voucher site that allows people to save on almost anything that they want to buy online, says discount vouchers offer a great way to help people afford the things they need, without breaking the bank.

Sarah Escott, UK Director of Retail Partnerships at Savoo.co.uk comments: “Our team of deal hunters at Savoo.co.uk is absolutely committed to helping consumers get the best deals online. Obviously the savings and timings vary from merchant to merchant, but we wanted to release this data to help people make the most informed choice they can about when to buy their goods and make sure they save every penny they can.”

Savoo.co.uk’s team of Deal Hunters scour the web to find top offers in every category, from designer clothes and baby gear to big screen TVs and gourmet food. The voucher codes site currently offers approximately 5,000 vouchers, with opportunities to save everyday on major brands, such as Apple, Amazon, Argos, Dell, Debenhams, Figleaves and Tesco.

The saving trends data also revealed:

March, April and July offer technology lovers, desperate to get their hands on the latest gadget launch, almost 20% discounts on electronic and computer items.

May is the best time to snap up holiday and travel deals, with retailers offering up to 55% discount deals, offering a huge saving - particularly for those planning family holidays.

June or September are the best months to enjoy a day out at a theme park, evening at the theatre, or perhaps just a meal for two at a nice restaurant, with retailers offering discounts of 15% - higher than any other time of year.
