Very Catalogue

There is a new name in catalogue shopping in the Uk, and it is the very catalogue. This is the new name for littlewoods direct, who gone through a major re-branding exercise and thought up this new name. The name is designed to give the new catalogue a better brand name that is more distinctive and different. It must be said that this is quite a risk to take because many customers are already used to the littlewoods direct name. At the online site you will just see a small header title that says very- the new name for littlewoods direct.

Littlewoods have not actually come out and said why they have changed the name, so it is left to the customers to guess why. One thing is for sure, you will still get the huge range of products and cut priced deals with the very catalogue that you did with the old one. This has been the secret of the success for the littlewoods group who are now under the control of the shop direct home shopping network, so perhaps it was their decision to change the name. Because the very catalogue is run exclusively online the costs involved with re-branding are much less than they would be if they ran a series of high street shops. This would then involve changing all the interior designs and the signs. As it is, only the web site needed a few changes, and this just meant altering the colour scheme and titles of the site. This just shows the advantage of running an internet only business.

As usually happens when a re-launch occurs, there has to be a promotional aspect to it. This to attract new custom and interest to the site. Very have achieved this with some big discounts and special introductory offers. You can currently get £20 off your first order and free delivery on selected items in the catalogue. Interest free credit is also available if you pay your balance on time by the next month. The very catalogue also have other departments with a large amount of goods in them. They have been working hard to increase their stock levels, and they now have the biggest number of products of any online catalogue in the UK.

This has been slowly and carefully been built up over the last 5 years. Today there is no other company that can compete on choice with very. They specialise in selling branded goods from top designers and sportswear companies. Because they buy so much, they get them for less, and pass these savings to their customers. You will be hard pressed to find brand name clothing for less on the Internet and on the high street. Very also have a number of exclusive collections from celebrity names. This is a unique way of generating public awareness to their business, and they use celebrities in their television adverts. This is required because they have no shops on the high street, so they must use every opportunity to grow the brand name.

In the main catalogue you will find all sorts of departments, both at their site and in the paper copy of the catalogue. This can be ordered from the site and delivered free to your door. Many people choose this way of online catalogue shopping, and then order by telephone if they do not have access to the internet or a computer. Women's clothing features heavily in the catalogue because they are the biggest spenders and the ones who shop more often. Very know this because they use sophisticated tracking software on the web site that tells them all the small details. The men's department is also very big, with top designer labels at cheap prices.

Every type of appliance can be bought, including cookers, fridges and freezers. Each item has a very clear picture with it, so you can get a good idea of what they look like. All these pictures can be enlarged for an even closer look. This really helps to sell things over the internet because you cannot actually touch or feel the items so pictures are very important. The electricals department has the latest televisions, ipods, mp3 players, gaming consoles and cameras from the best brands like sony, samsung and panasonic. Furniture can also be bought, and you will find every piece of furniture is well laid out into its own section such as dining room, living room, bedroom, bathroom and hall.

Other departments are the gifts section where you will find great ideas for presents for friends and family members. The kids section has all the games, toys and puzzles to keep them happy for a while. You can shop by age group to make things easier for you, or by price and rating. The home and garden department has things like mirrors, towels, rugs, lamps and garden accessories such as lighting and plants, gazebos and lawn mowers.

You can have any item you buy shipped right to your door with very. The standard delivery time is just a few days for smaller items. The larger things like appliances and furniture take around 10 days to arrive, although you will be given the exact date when you place your order. The standard charge is just a few pounds, but you can pay a bit extra for next day or nominated day delivery. You can also use the collection plus service, which means you can pick up your order from a local store. This service is free, and most customers are now using this unique and cost efficient system. It saves you waiting at home for your goods to arrive, and you can pick them up at the most convenient time for you. If you are working this is the best solution to use by far.
