Looking for the perfect Christmas gift for the love of your life? Ecocamel ORB SPA's Soft Water Technology is the answer
The ORB SPA contains special built-in Aircore Technology, innovative soft water technology and a stunning massaging unit, that transforms shower experiences for the better.
The ORB SPA will be able to guarantee a powerful shower, yet at the same time using less water than your normal showers. As a result, the recipient of your guest will use less energy and water, thus saving money. And we're all keen on saving money whilst also doing our bit for the planet, right?
The ORB SPA also has these other incredible benefits such:
Deep cleansing
Increasing blood flow and lotion absorbance
Exfoliates and hydrates
Stimulates skin cells
Suitable for all skin types
The Aircore Technology lets air be drawn in via the air intakes, mixing with water and, by increasing the water pressure, the power of your shower is given a significant boost.
Complete with a wonderful state-of-the-art Interspray system, its angled nozzles create a wider spray pattern which results in more coverage.
The Orbit is also hypoallergenic and extremely hygienic with special wipe clean rubber nodules, thus making it perfect for family and guests all to use.
The head comes with two brushes that benefit both skin and hair. The larger one allows the water to wash away impurities released by the massage from the fibres of the head and the smaller surface can be used on the face and for more delicate areas of the body.
Not only can the massaging unit be used in shower, it can also be removed and used as part of your daily beauty and skincare routines, should you wish.
Jane Lewis, nurse and MD of the Skin to Love Clinic said: "When I was first introduced to the concept of the ORB SPA, I saw the benefits straight away. The water softening is great if you have irritable skin and the exfoliating effects are extremely convenient, allowing you to apply your creams straight out of the shower."
The Ecocamel’s ORB SPA is available from £83 and comes with free P&P plus a 30 Day Money Back Guarantee.
Savvy Shoppers are looking for Christmas bargains
Head of Professional Services at Esendex, Chris Gorman, says the data shows UK shoppers are looking for personalised marketing, with SMS text and email top of the list and WhatsApp growing in popularity. “These channels are where shoppers talk to each other, so why not the companies and brands they buy from?
“With statistics showing 48% of people are on their phone between four and eight hours a day, and seven in ten checking any unread notifications within five minutes, SMS and WhatsApp are two of the quickest ways to grab the attention of customers.”
Optimise the online experience!
Ecommerce has gone some way towards levelling the field for small and large retailers. Building an online presence makes products more accessible than a bricks and mortar store, and gives smaller retailers access to a larger audience, too. A well-built website that’s optimised for mobile users with a smooth online experience, can improve brand credibility, extend reach, and make promotional campaigns more cost-effective.
Extend platform choice
On average, UK consumers are bombarded with between 6,000 and 10,000 ads a day, even outside of peak trading periods, so little wonder that the battle for engagement is intense.
When shoppers are looking for bargains, they're often shopping on all channels at once. And those hunting for bargains on four or more platforms will spend on average 9% more with a business than single channel shoppers.
Deliver value, not just discount
It’s easy to think peak season sales are all about discounts, but consumer behaviour has changed, and value isn’t always about price. UK consumers are more conscious than ever of a need to support smaller independent businesses and to contribute to their local community.
Obviously, That's Christmas sees a massive increase in people visiting our site from August/September onwards to Christmas Even itself, as they search for Christmas gifts, foods, drinks, new and traditional recipes to try and, especially keeping in mind the current cost of living situation, as readers of That's Christmas are smart and savvy shoppers, they are also looking for money saving bargains, too!
