Get the jump on the Christmas sales. Are you ready for manic Monday?


Tuesday, November 23rd, 2010

Well, it’s almost here isn’t it? In fact the Metro reports that Monday is officially going to be manic for online retailers. Our London office is buzzing with the joys of Christmas already, and the famous Oxford Street Christmas lights were switched on on the 4th of November this year! And every single shop now has snowmen and fake snow galore.

Well, this 247Moneybox.com blogger has actually done all his Christmas shopping already this year (we’re very efficient here you know!). Yes the cheer is spreading throughout the office with talk of office parties, afternoon mince pies and a tree.

We know though that this is the time of year where we all feel the pinch on the purse strings. It’s not just the late night shopping, the food, taking time off work and the office parties, but also (lest we forget) the presents. Every music/dvd/toy/gaget shop in the land is offering us the latest and greatest for our loved ones to enjoy. It’s a shopper’s jungle out there!

How did the pig get up there?

Online shopping, a great way to save money this month


Wednesday, August 12th, 2009

For today’s blog we will look at some great ways to save you some money this month. Usually when a customer borrows from us we offer them some advice on how to reduce their expenses, which helps their payday loan be more effective. Here are a few ideas that could save you some money and help your finances get back into the black.

Today’s tip is to go online for your weekly grocery shop. Thousands of people use online shopping to get their regular groceries and you try it - most of the main supermarkets offer online shopping so you won’t have to switch your chain, and if you are on a points system with them you may be able to keep this up too.

Shopping online will make financial sense; the main supermarkets generally give you the option of comparing an item with the other items on that shelf, letting you compare similar products. Sometimes a prompt is given to you to ’see a cheaper alternative’. All the deals in the store should be on the website so you aren’t missing out on any deals. Often by shopping online you can find new deals that you would not find in-store.

Shopping online will allow you to choose the food you need in a relaxing environment: your front room. By not being in-store, you won’t be under any pressure from influential advertising or be swayed by an atmosphere that encourages you to buy more. By buying online you’re more likely to keep to what you need to buy and less likely to pick up those special treats, keeping your cost down. And of course you don’t have to deal with long queues at the check-out!

The only downside would be the delivery fees - these are usually around £4.50 from the major supermarkets, but are usually covered by the savings you make from finding new deals online.

Do you need an injection of cash to sort out your finances this month? If so, perhaps it’s time you thought about taking out a payday loan with us here at www.247Moneybox.com. We offer competitive loans and can tailor a loan solution to cover your urgent cash requirements. So don’t delay further, fill out an application form today!

Confidence in online shopping and how 24/7Moneybox.com can offer peace of mind


Tuesday, May 12th, 2009

According to the Office of Fair Trading (OFT), almost 33% of internet users are shunning online shopping as they do not trust the system. The rise of online retailing over recent years has reinvented how we consume goods and services but also has taken fraud and other criminal activities into new territory.

According to the report, the OFT said that 1 in 5 internet users who chose not to shop online did so because they were worried about personal security. 15% of those who refused internet shopping said they did not trust the retailers.

Quoting from a BBC article commenting on the OFT report: ‘If consumers are not confident online, demand will grow at a slower rate. So we must tackle these concerns right now if the online market is to grow at its full potential.’

However, the figures show that consumer confidence is growing compared with three years ago.

Among the people who do shop online, 54% felt it was as safe as shopping in store, compared with 26% in 2006.

‘UK consumers buy almost twice as much over the internet compared to their European neighbours,’ said Consumer Minister Gareth Thomas. ‘It is encouraging that the OFT’s survey shows increasing consumer confidence when buying online - but people still have concerns.’

We here at www.247Moneybox.com take the issue of security extremely seriously. Our site operates over a secure SSL connection and all details are encrypted, providing you with peace of mind when you apply. There are 3 easy steps to getting your payday loan: simply take a few minutes to fill in our online payday loan application form, obtain fast approval and receive your cash loan!
