March 19, 2007 - We all know that internet lets us enjoy great on-line bargains, enabling quick and effective product comparisons and helping us make informed decisions. We have become gurus of fuelling the web with our unique content, whilst taking on board the independent advice of others. There is no doubt that opportunities are endless when it comes to the internet.
During one of those days surfing the web, two colleagues decided to take one of those opportunities and do something about it. The idea behind their project was simple yet unique. Imagine that from now on, you are able to save money doing the things you do on daily basis. It is a well known fact that people still live their lives locally, do their shopping locally and go out locally. However, to date, most local information has been organised in neat internet directories providing a business description and a website link at best; the information is too often old as there are no regular updates.
Now, imagine a website that combines all the popular local activities (including shopping, going out, entertainment, local services and hotels) in a simple easy-to-use interface, where you are able to search and find not only local business description and photos but also their latest deals, discounts and offers. By simply selecting a town or city, you are able to see which restaurants have deals on particular days, which shops are currently running promotions, which local services are applying discounts, and in which bars or nightclubs you could save on a round of drinks. This information is always up to date as the business owners have the possibility to update the listing 24/7. The possibilities to save money everyday are endless. All you need to do is visit www.DealsLocally.co.uk.
Nothing is more convincing than applying theory to reality. Meet Andy, a local financial advisor. It is Tuesday morning and on the way to work, Andy picks up his dry cleaning which as a result of a deal he has found on dealslocally.co.uk has cost him £5 less (Dry-cleaning price £20). For lunch, Andy goes out with his colleagues for a 2-course meal in the local oriental restaurant for only £8.95 per person (usual price £15). During the afternoon, Andy finally gets to organise a Romantic Weekend break for him and his girlfriend.
He is chuffed to find a luxury weekend getaway which includes a romantic candle light dinner at a bargain price saving in excess of £120. Andy finishes his day by meeting his mates for a local Indian choosing a set menu he came across on dealslocally.co.uk. It ends up costing £10 per head (usual price £18). Before going home, Andy and his mates head down to a local pub to enjoy a couple of rounds of drinks (all drinks priced at £2 each – Tuesday promotion). Now lets summarise - during Tuesday, Andy spends £250 with total savings of around £160.
As one of the founders of Deals Locally explains: “Our vision is to promote and support local businesses in the UK whilst helping consumers make money-saving choices.” Well, saving money locally has never been easier.
