Perkbox expected to save Brits a further £3M on Christmas shopping with enhanced discounts

London, 23rd November 2023: Perkbox, the award-winning rewards and benefits platform, has strengthened its response to the cost of living by increasing the discounts it offers at a range of retailers. The changes could help its users make additional savings of over £3 million during the Christmas period alone — cementing Perkbox’s position as a market leader in this space. 

The decision follows on from its highly popular ‘Super Saver Week’ promotions, where discounts were boosted for one week each month, helping employees save over £20,000.  By maintaining these discounts all year round and increasing the number of brands selected, Perkbox is enabling customers to elevate the support they offer staff. For example, the platform could save the average person at least £200 just on the annual food bill.

With inflation requiring people to spend more to keep Christmas special this year, Perkbox’s initial increases have gone live in time for the festive season. 

Partnerships Director Joel Tobias commented:

“We know the cost of living is still a burning issue for people. Every business we speak to is looking for ways to help their employees, and we’re proud to have the most competitive perks product in the industry. 

Our Super Saver Week promotions went down well, and we’re also happy to help people cut the cost of Christmas. However, we wanted to go even further for our customers, and for more than just a couple of weeks. Financial wellbeing is a year-round effort and our platform is a year-round solution."
