how to find out when instore deals start

Options
Hi all, is there some kinda of mailing list I can use that will tell me when fashion stores have discount days?

e.g. h&m was 20% off this weekend, sometimes dorothy perkins ec also have discount days but they are usually in store only and i probably miss a lot of them.

Thanks

    I do not know of a mail list but there are a few shopping deal websites in the UK. The pages are normally split into shopping categories so you could probably find one and check the fashion page each day.

    There are some that will tell you when offers start, but none will tell you in advance. To be honest it's easier and more reliable to just sign up to the mailing lists of the brands you like as otherwise you miss finding out a few days or a week later than the offers start (and so risk missing out) or you don't find out at all. I would also take a close look at things like the day of the week that a brand tends to start it's offers and then keep this in mind when waiting for something like the Christmas or Easter or Summer...etc sales. If a brand only ever starts their sales or one-off offers on a Tuesday or Friday for arguments sake, you get a rough idea of when to keep refreshing your email or pass the shop window!


    But as far as knowing in advance goes, it's very rare you'd ever be able to get this info in my experience of working for fashion retail; staff are often some of the last to know when an offer even starts let alone the discount in question if it's something like a flash-sale or one off event.

    Sign up to the website themselves and they may email you of sales, M&S let you know of sales etc.
