The financial crisis has arrived in everyone’s life - small businesses in the
town centres are struggling and many shops are closing. People have to think
twice about how much they can spend and what they can afford. Everyone is
looking for bargains and the best offers.
Helping small businesses in Colchester and bringing the best bargains to the
community is the mission of “townvoucher.com – Bargains at your doorstep”, a
service for businesses to publish exclusive discount vouchers and make them
available to everybody via the Internet.
The easy to use website shows only offers created by small local businesses like
shops, pubs and restaurants.
People living in Colchester or visitors can easily print their vouchers at home
or work and redeem them at the participating townvoucher.com partners.
“townvoucher.com is an excellent way to get your business promoted and attract
new customers at the same time. It is affordable and easy to use. In these hard
times when many businesses are on the brink Townvoucher.com can help small
businesses compete against the big High Street brands”, says Sascha Cutura,
founder of Townvoucher.com.
To print off your vouchers just go to www.townvoucher.com, type in your post
