How about Buy One, get Another for Same Price?

Sounds silly I know, but there is so much discounting about these days I'm beginning to wonder what I should be paying, and if this is their way of compensating me for ripping me off for a box of  '2-in-1washing powder' for the past 4 years.

The high street is shouting at me 'BUY 1, GET 1 HALF PRICE' or 'BUY 1, GET 1 FREE'.

BOGOF I say! Just gimme one item reasonably priced please and donate the money your wasting on a national ad campaign to a good cause like Demelza House!

The way prices are being slashed these days indicates just how much mark-up high street retailers are making on luxury goods and consumables like my '2-in-1' The credit crunch has left many shoppers like myself seeking about best deals and bargain sites to make my pound stretch that little bit further, so I have to put my hands up to partly fueling this discount frenzy.

But as an independent online gift retailer, I work on very tight margins in a very competitive marketplace, I rely on return customers, so I need to give Boudoir Babe customers the best possible products and service at very competitive prices otherwise I can say goodbye to repeat customers. I also run gift incentive promotions throughout the year as a thankyou for their continued custom, but I draw the line at cheap impulse buying tricks. Perhaps that's because I simply can't compete with major retailers, as I don't have their purchasing power or partly because I only need one box of  "2-in-1 washing powder" thank you very much.
