SportPursuit - Top Brand Bargains From A Top UK Firm
A company review is not something that I've blogged before; I've mentioned my Favourite Bike Brands in a previous post and discussed why British companies often win my heart (and wallet) over for their understanding of the consumer.
SportPursuit is something a bit different though, not a brand as such, but a UK company that is well worth knowing about because of the massive discounts that they provide.
The company is the UK's leading 'Outdoor Specialist Flash Sale' site.
So what's a 'Flash sale'? Well... "A 'Deal of the Day' or 'Flash Sale' is a type of e-commerce, by which a website will provide certain products at large discount for a short period of time. Members of the site can receive these online offers and are notified of which sales are currently in session."
SportPursuit does just that then; when you visit their website for the first time you will be asked to Join Up, a simple case of entering your name and email. After which you have access to the numerous sales that are currently taking place, and will be notified by email once a week with details of the current offers.
Brands that have been and are featured on the site include:
The discounts available are huge! I couldn't quite believe it when I came across the site for the first time. For example, my much loved Lezyne Floor Drive Pump which retails at £40 is on sale at £24. An incredible reduction, which takes the price down to below that of many cheap plastic floor pumps. Or for the triathletes out there, you can pick up a Timex heart-rate and data recording watch (retailing at £180) for £99!

- Any many, many more...

Reductions like this seem almost too good to be true, so I checked out how SportPursuit works, here's what they said: "We contact suppliers who may be clearing out their stock, but it is not necessarily 'clearance' products, as other stores won't have the same discount available. Recently for example, we have had suppliers approach us with new season product samples to be sold, which haven't even reached the stores yet! SportPursuit picks the duration based on how many units we have available; if there aren't many, then the sale will be shorter, so we don't sell out of everything. Longer sales tend to mean more for everyone, but never for too long, so we can get other brands up!"
The payment method is secure and you can use PayPal if you choose.
Overall, a great company from my experience, and one well worth knowing about if you want some very discounted, top quality kit! As with my other favourite bike brands, this British company seems to know what the consumer wants...bargains!
