Conquer the January Sales

That magical time of year, when retailers slash their prices to make way for a fresh new stock, is almost upon us. It’s a great time to take advantage of some amazing deals from fashion to electronics and homeware.

This hectic time of year can put many people off sale shopping. It’s no surprise that the much-preferred alternative to queues and overcrowded shops is shopping online from the comfort of your own sofa (you’d be mad not to).

Although you may be comfy, there’s no denying you still have to be on your A-game when trying to find that perfect deal online. Jumping from site to site to try and bag the best bargain before everything sells out can be just as stressful.

This is when the new shopping platform, Octer, comes in handy, to save you some extra time and effort. Octer features thousands of brands and hundreds of stores from High Street to designer in one place. Everything is categorised into a useful retail format, so you don’t have to worry about a scary jumble sale.

Here’s just a few ways Octer can help you with your sale shopping this year:

1. Only shop sale items

When you’re in your chosen category you can tick a Sale Items Only filter, which makes it quick and easy to view all the sale products from multiple stores.

2. Shop the stores you love

You can also choose to only view products from stores you’re interested in, this is great as Octer features so many different retailers from Topshop to Marks & Spencer – there’s something for everybody. Our top tip is to leave all the retailers selected the first time round – you may be surprised at what you find.

3. Compare Prices

Remember Octer doesn’t stock or directly sell any products; it just collates them from all the top stores. It’s likely you will find the same product at various prices, from different retailers, so at a glance it’s easy to see which is the best deal!

4. Easy Search

If you know what you want, the search feature makes it super quick and easy to compare the same product from multiple stores. A great way to double check you’ve got the best price.
