Online Shopping
Consumers are slowly ditching the high street to get the cheaper prices when they shop online. Lower prices, little hassle and better choice lure shoppers to hit the internet when they want to buy online rather than go to their high street shops.
With numerous online shops reporting record sales, it is only good news for consumers. The more the competition, the lesser the prices.
Cashback Shopping
New wave of online shopping sites have emerged which actually pay the consumer to shop. They share the referral fee they get from the merchant with their members. Many even pay you a welcome bonus for you to join.
The concept started in the USA with portals like ebates and has slowly grown fast in countries like the UK. Cashback Shopping sites are growing very rapidly indeed as more and more consumers realise that they can actually get extra money to do their usual shopping. It is estimated that an average shopper can earn anything between £500 to £700 every year. |
