Bad weather boosts online shopping by 40% above last year’s figures

VoucherCodes.com, the UK’s original money saving website offering voucher codes and promotional offers to UK consumers, today released its traffic statistics chronicling online shopping statistics during the current period of poor weather. Since 1 January, traffic has been up 40% over last year with shoppers focusing on holiday and ‘get fit’ discount codes as they struggle to beat the winter blues.

James Carter, managing director of VoucherCodes.com says: “Snow-bound shoppers are dreaming of getting out of the UK cold. They’re also feeling sluggish and stuck at home. Naturally they are looking for holiday and weight-loss/exercise options to keep their spirits high. VoucherCodes.com is proving to be a popular first step in their search as UK consumers realise that they can still save in their battle to cheer up through the cold weather.”
