Mark Pearson, the 29 year old founder and Managing Director of MyVoucherCodes was pleased with the results of the latest Hitwise update, and had the following to say,
“To be officially crowned the UK’s leading discount voucher site by Hitwise is humbling, and testament to all the hard work behind the scenes of all MyVoucherCodes employees.
“The recession has been particularly hard on UK families. However, the crunch has just proved how thrifty Brits can be, with millions turning to sites such as MyVoucherCodes to find money off purchases ranging from their weekly supermarket shop to clothing and electrical goods.
“Whilst our online voucher codes; which are redeemable at online checkout, are obviously still our main traffic-driver, our printable discounts have proved extremely popular.
“Our recently-announced partnership with Microsoft’s leading comparison shopping community Ciao will give us access to a different type of discount hunter. We are extremely excited about this addition to the MyVoucherCodes offering.”
