Are Voucher Codes on Your Mobile the Future of Voucher Code Sites?

LEEDS, England, January 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Getting voucher codes (http://www.voucherseeker.co.uk/vouchercodes), and discount vouchers from sites such as VoucherSeeker on your mobile phone could become a new shopping trend of the future.

Since the iPhone launch in 2007, 45 million iPhones have been sold worldwide. According to M Metrics, March 2009, there are 15,375,945 mobile media users in the UK.

Applications for the iPhone have been just as popular. There are 100,000 applications on Apple's application store. It is by using these applications that consumers will ultimately be able to get discount codes and vouchers for online discounts, whilst out shopping.

"When out shopping consumers want to know they are getting a competitive price." States Ed Wilkinson "With iPhones and other comparable devices it is easier than ever to search for the best prices. With voucher code sites such as VoucherSeeker there may be even greater savings available, savings which would justify going online to get Vodafone promotional codes ( http://www.voucherseeker.co.uk/file/8c07f9b2387a79aa4860f829cdf713e7/vodafone -promotional-code.html) or Currys discount codes ( http://www.voucherseeker.co.uk/file/a62ac26940c49940f7f8da1eabd901e1/currys-d iscount-codes.html) for example and then purchasing via the internet rather than in store."

Online spending currently accounts for one in fifteen pounds spent on retail shopping globally but, according to eBay,by 2020 this figure will be one in five. Electricals and books will be the most popular products to buy online, whilst clothing and footwear will see the most growth.

Shopping online has been an increasing retail shopping choice for consumers. As more and more people get access to the internet, the ease in which consumers can shop, coupled together with the convenience of doing it within their home has meant that shoppers take full advantage of the internet.

Due to the availability of the internet, more demographics than ever are enjoying shopping online and the discounts this can bring. From the young to the older generations, all these consumers understand the benefits of using discount vouchers for money off items which they wouldn't necessarily get on the same items on the high street.

On top of this, when the recession hit, consumers were quick to realise the saving potential of shopping online, where voucher code and discount voucher stores offer consumers money off items.

The use of discount codes has spoiled consumers in that their value perception has changed over the recession. Consumers want to get more, for less and expect a greater service for their money. Whilst this change in perception has beginnings in online voucher codes and getting discounts easily, it is natural that consumers will want this to evolve into discount vouchers via the iPhone for money off everyday items.

With the popularity of iPhones and other internet enabled phones, the mobile internet market is only going to grow. According to the Econsultancy Internet Statistics Compendium, web traffic from mobiles is estimated to be growing eight times faster than web traffic from UK PCs. According to

Nielsen//NetRatings, November 2008 in 2008, the number of Brits using mobile internet has increased 25%.

However, with the explosion of internet phones and applications comes the simple fact that not everyone will get a satisfactory internet usage. According to Deloitte, May 2009, although over 70% of mobiles in the UK are capable of receiving internet access, the majority of users feel the service is either too expensive, too slow, not practical or, they don't know how to use it. Once these glitches are addressed, however, the mobile internet market will expand rapidly, as consumers grow accustomed to its convenience.

It is no surprise, therefore that consumers will ultimately want to get discount codes and vouchers for money off items directly to their mobiles as they shop. Consumers will ultimately have the best of both worlds, the ability to shop where they want, but with the discount which has become important to them.

Research by Juniper has found that by 2014, over 300 million global customers will be using mobile promotional codes whilst they shop. Therefore for the consumer and sites like VoucherSeeker, offering mobile voucher codes would be very beneficial.

Getting discount vouchers and discount codes from sites such as VoucherSeeker (http://www.voucherseeker.co.uk/vouchercodes), using an iPhone application could become a new shopping trend. As shoppers search for more ways to save money whilst they shop, using an instantly accessible application which delivers an immediate discount to products will become extremely popular. Research by Juniper predicts that by 2014, over 300 million global customers will be using mobile vouchers whilst they shop, meaning that promotional codes and voucher codes accessible on the iPhone is a trend to watch out for.
