Cloggs.co.uk Benefit From the Post-Christmas Search for Uggs

    BIRMINGHAM, ENGLAND, January 13, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- A few weeks in, one company who will be rubbing their hands together with glee for another year is Deckers Outdoor, the owners of the famous Ugg Australia brand. Since their popularity went global years ago, Uggs have been consistently at the top of all the footwear polls, designer and otherwise and if you take a look on any high street these days (especially during the winter months) you'll be sure to spot at good number of Ugg wearers in amongst the shoppers, in every style from the Classic tall or short versions to the latest Kensington and Bailey Button Triplets too.

These flat comfortable sheepskin boots are made for women who love style and want a versatile boot that keeps their feet warm and dry and goes with anything. Uggs were simply perfect and were around at the right time when Uggs fast became the fashion item of the decade (and are looking like they may be the fashion item of this new decade too).

With the bad weather before Christmas preventing many shoppers getting out to the shops to purchase gifts for their loved ones due to heavy snow and lower than average temperatures (December was apparently the coldest in some parts since records began a hundred years ago) many people chose to order gifts from stores on-line to save going out and this resulted in more Internet sales than ever before being recorded.

Internet shopping has never been easier due to the fact that many retailers are now geared up to offer customers a simple, easy-to-use on-line service, great websites, intuitive browsing and speedy as well as free delivery, these are just some of the benefits of shopping on-line. With most households these days owning at least one PC and having Internet access, shopping in ones own time has never been easier and with the introduction of the iPhone and other hand held devices with Internet access you can also do your shopping on the move too so there's never been more opportunity to shop than now and figures show this is a trend that's increasing all the time, not least because of adverse weather conditions.

Though these adverse weather conditions certainly helped a lot of on-line retailers like Cloggs.co.uk before Christmas, where they reported double the amount of visits to their website over the bad weather period in December, with many people wanting to buy Uggs and Hunter wellies as well as FitFlops in a bid to get around in the heavy snow, Cloggs.co.uk have also been seeing a steady increase in the amount of people shopping on-line generally. One spokesperson for Cloggs said 'Its clear that people are finding it easier to shop on-line these days and they are trusting genuine sites more and appreciating the whole concept of safe shopping at a time that suits them. Our free delivery service and on-line discounts on many top brands including Uggs and Hunter have been a great incentive to many who may otherwise have chosen to go to our shop and purchase the same brands physically. Sometimes shopping on-line really is the fastest and cheapest way to shop.'

So where does this leave the die hard shoppers who like to go 'up town' on a Saturday and shop til they drop for bargains galore? Maybe it will take them a bit longer to come round to the benefits of on-line shopping but for now, most people actually like to do a bit of both and after all, there's nothing like a bit of social interaction with a helpful shop assistant to make you glad you went to the Cloggs store to buy your latest pair of Uggs!
