Customer Survey on saving cash

Our survey said
Gift-buying in credit crunch Britain

A recent survey by UK Internet company, thegiftexperience.co.uk has revealed savvy ways in which to breathe new life into your bank balance in credit crunch Britain.
The majority taking part in the survey said they had cut down on gift-giving expenditure in order to weather the financial storm.
Check out the findings, and prepare to get richer!

Be a sales groupie
The days of seasonal sales are long gone. Nowadays, sales are practically a permanent fixture . What’s more, sales offer a wealth of opportunity for buying presents in advance and spreading the cost over the year.
Hitting the sales and stocking up on gifts is a key way in which customers of thegiftexperience.co.uk are beating the crunch. The practice is particularly effective for reducing the bite of Christmas – traditionally an expensive time for all of us.

And the winner is ...
Also high on the survey’s ways of saving cash is the practice of entering competitions. Saving prizes and giving them to family and friends for birthday or Christmas presents is definitely worth the effort of entering.

Here’s one I prepared earlier
Getting our thinking caps on and donning our collective creative hats is another surefire way to win the canny gift-giving game.
Whether you are a veritable Delia Smith in the kitchen, or are a genius with sticky-backed plastic, it seems we are using our skills to make gifts, artisan style.
You never know; your gift making prowess may lead to a business proposition worthy of Dragons’ dosh! Think Ragu Ragu sauce.

Less is more
Spending less need not mean your recipient need be aware of your thriftiness. So how can we get the presents we want, without having to catch swine flu into the bargain?
Respondees of the survey said shopping over the Internet saves not only time, but money. Shopping from home means you save on inflated petrol costs and car parking charges before you even set foot in the shops.
Another advantage of shopping online is the ease in which we can compare prices. An added bonus is it cuts down on the footwork – leaving more time for best things in life (which, we all know, are free).
What’s more, online shopping often offers additional incentives. If you bulk buy, for instance, you might get free postage and packing.

Search and you will find
Taking the time to search for those most-wanted gifts was also uppermost in the minds of respondees. If you are going into town, then keep your eyes peeled and you may well find perfect gifts in the strangest of places.
Alternatively, cut to the chase and ask your recipient what she would like. No harm in that.
Quite a few respondents are opting for vouchers or even money, so their giftee can buy what they want. However, for a special present, vouchers may not be such a good idea, as people can (a) misplace them (b) feel tempted to give them to someone else, or (c) will know exactly how ‘mean’ you actually are – thus defeating the whole object of giving.

Cut up your cards
The survey also revealed spending money we have actually got, as opposed to piling up balances on credit cards, is the future. It stands to reason that shelling out on high interest accounts month after month is a loser’s game. Buying in advance means we can afford what we want with what we’ve got.

Out with the old, and in with the new
Selling what we have, but don’t want, on Ebay, is another way of recouping cash for the gift giving fund. Whatever the items you wish to flog, there will be someone out there who wants them.

Getting personal
Buying gifts that are more personal was an important trend revealed by the survey. Gifts that mean more need not cost more. After all, it is the thought that counts; though that doesn’t mean it’s okay to be stingy.

Buy one get one free
Taking advantage of special offers is also good practise. So keep your eyes peeled for ‘bogof’s’ and similar discounts.

Recycle
Finally, recycling gifts is a favourite way of saving money. Don’t just give what you don’t want, though. Think about your recipient, and whether he or she will appreciate the gift.
