Women's Fashions
Every online catalogue has a big selection of clothing, but this is especially so for women, because quite simply, they spend the most amount of cash on the latest fashions, much more then the men do! There are pages and pages of women's clothes in all the major catalogues, and Littlewoods are the leaders in this field, with the help of the two self proclaimed style gurus, Trinny and Susanna.
Women's fashion is big business, very big business, and the likes of littlewoods and Next spend a great deal of time perfecting their ranges, so they can be totally in touch with what are going to be the must have items long before they even hit the streets. Getting this right is what makes or breaks sales, and a whole lot of cash is pumped in the ranges to get the right look.
Selling designer labels has always been a corner stone of catalogue shopping, they sell much better than non branded items because there is a much bigger profit margin involved. By getting top name fashion designers to make exclusive ranges for a certain catalogue is the way forward, and this is happening more and more. The cost of getting these celebrity fashion gurus does not come cheap, but the benefits must outway the expense, or else the catalogue companies would just not do it.
The key is to produce affordable fashion, cheaper clothes, and also the middle priced clothes, this way they cater for all wallet sizes, and keep their core customers happy. A big choice is also key as well. You have got have a wide variety to cater for all fashion trends and tastes. Next have focused on smaller ranges, especially for men, but their lack of profit last year shows just how easy it can be to lose customers if you don't offer the latest fashions that people will buy.
Again, littlewoods have got the correct blend of cheap to expensive, and have the best marketing tools to reach their target audience. Grattan and Kays are also not doing to well, and they really need to get their act together just to stay in business this year. The other catalogues have gone for certain niches as far as women's fashion goes, and have made decent profits, so there is a market for alternative clothing, but it has to be at the right price for people to buy them, and keep coming back for more.
The one drawback for the online catalogues is that you cannot physcially try the clothes on, so i guess the high street will always have the advantage in this, but more and more women are shopping online and browsing through the catalogues because the clothes are generally cheaper due to reduced overheads. Littlewoods now has no high street presence, and so can offer cheaper clothes than they did in their high street shops. Perhaps this is the way forward.

Fitness Equipment
There is a wide range of fitness equipment available these days, to help you keep in shape. The prices you can pay for these kinds of fitness stuff is huge, so it is very important to know what your fitness needs are before you spend money on something you don't really need. Probably the best and most cost effecive exercise machines of recent years are the abdominal trainers. Argos stock a lot of these, as do Littlewoods, and the prices have really come down in the last few years.
The best seller from Littlewoods is the Weider crunch trainer which sells for around £30, and is one of the best and most durable machines out there, from a trusted brand. You also get a dvd with this ab trainer, which is a kind of six pack training guide, to help you get rid of that tummy flab, which i am sure most of us have especially after the christmas period. This is when most ab trainers are sold because it is when most of us have made that new years resolution to get in shape.
You can pick up an ab trainer for under £10 these days, but you generally get what you pay for, so it is a good idea to perhaps spend a little bit more on something that will be a more durable and will last longer. These are usually from the more well known brands who have been making these machines for a long time so they know what they are doing. Keep an eye out for the latest discounts from the online catalogues to help you save a bit of cash as well.

Designer Sunglasses
There is a huge range of sunglasses and designer shades available from all of the online catalogues. All the top name brands are stocked, and with a wide range of prices as well. When the sun comes out the shades come out too, and everyone wants to look good, and the best way of looking cool on a hot day is with the latest style covering your eyes!
Because new style sunglasses come out almost every week, it can be hard to keep up with the latest style without spending a whole lot of cash. The top designer shades cost a lot of money, for example the top Oakley shades can set you back a few hundred dollars at least. Other big names are Gucci, Police, Ray Bans, and virtually every well known fashion house has their own range of designer singlasses.
The online catalogues know how big a market this is, and so they all have extensive ranges to choose from, and they usually cater for all kinds of wallet size. You can pick up a pair of designer sunglasses for about £50 these days, but the prices can go much higher than this depending where you buy them from.
Of course the more you pay the better quality the shades will be, you generally get what you pay for. You are paying for the name on the side, and the unique style at the end of the day. You also have to rememeber that all sunglasses serve a basic function of protecting your eyes from the sun, so you really do need them when you are out and about all day in the sun. But there is no harm in looking good while you are protecting yourself is there?

New Argos Catalogue 2009
The brand new argos 2009 catalogue hits the shelves with even lower prices and more choice than the last catalogue. Every time there is a new edition, there is a shopping frenzy, with bargain hunters galore searching through the pages to find the new stock and the promotional offers. Argos bring out a new catalogue every 6 months or so, so the next one will be out in July.
After having a quick look on their website, the new catalogue is selling LCD tv's for under £100, amongst many other price cuts. The selection is bigger, and with this credit crunch at the moment, and all high street traders suffering profit falls, the launch of this catalogue could not come at a better time for argos.
Argos is suffering to, with a dip in profits, so you can bet this new catalogue will have some pretty special deals in it, to get people buying again, and perhaps raise some profits and keep their staff in jobs. Don't forget that when ever a new edition comes out, there are also many discounted items in the clearance section, as argos tries to get rid of it's old stock.

Dvd recorders
Argos have a big choice of dvd players and recorders at very competitive prices. It was not so long ago that dvd recording equipment cost a small fortune, but as technology advances, the prices start to come down. Dvd recorders allow you to record your favourite programs and films to a small dvd disc, and then you can do whatever you want with it, such as dvd copying by switching the information on one disc to another.
Dvd players are the norm these days, and the days of bulky video recorders have long since gone. Dvd players and recorders allow you to store much more information, which means you can store more of your own films and tv shows, and the re-writable dvd discs allow you to copy over previously recorded stuff in an instant. You can easily just have one single disc and keep using it to record everything.
If you feel a bit more inventive you can hook up your dvd recorder with a computer for some dvd duplication, and transfer from one dvd to another, this is a good way to keep a back up, or use it to build up your own dvd collection, just beware of any copyright infringement.
Argos have a vast array of this type of equipment at very low prices, and there are always discounted dvd players at low prices if you do enough searching in the catalogue. The most modern dvd recorders now have built in hard disks that do away with the need for individual disks, and you can store a whole load of things depending on the memory of the dvd. The larger the hard disk space the more you pay, but if you are a keen film and tv watcher then you may very well need all the disk space you can get. Look out for hard disk capabilites before you buy as the latest models all have larger storage space, and a new model comes out virtually every week, as the technology moves ahead.

Dual Sim Cards
The future of mobile phone technology is already here in the UK, and the dual sim card phone is just that. It allows you to take calls from two networks, and use the two networks as you wish. So you can take a call from vodafone or t-mobile whenever you want to. This is great if you are having connection problems with one network, you can just use another one.
You can also have a business sim and a private sim, so you can keep both parts of your life separate and now you don't need to have two phones with the dual sim phone. This offers a great alternative to having two mobile phones and could save you a lot of money in the process. At the time of writing, only the 3 network does not have this coverage, no suprise there eh? Prices are about £195 at the moment, and for this you get a 3.5 inch screen, an mp3 and mp4 player, and a camera thrown in as well.
As time goes by this phone will become very popular and so the prices will also start to drop. They are quite hard to get hold of at the present time and there are limited places to get them. Don't be suprised when argos joins the party and looks for a piece of the action by advertising in it's catalogue and in the national press.

argos ipods
Argos sell a huge range of mp3 players including the famous apple ipod, which is the biggest selling mp3 player of all time. Ipods come in all shapes and sizes, and with many different features that allow you to listen to your favourite songs. Which kind you go for depends on how much money you have really. Argos sell ipods from all the various price ranges, so you need to take a good look at them and decide the best one for you.
The main thing to consider when buying an ipod or mp3 player is the memory. A 1GB memory can hold around 500 songs and still have some memory left over, and there are ipods that have much more memory than this. If you think that a 30GB memory can store about 20,000 songs and these can still fit in your pocket you realise that this type of ipod or mp3 player will most certainly hold your entire collection of songs and then some.
The larger the memory the higher the cost, but argos currently sell a 1GB apple ipod shuffle for under £30 in a wide variety of colours, and this represents a great deal, and is one of the best ipod prices you are likely to find anywhere. You also have access to the apple i tunes software, which helps you organise all your tracks and create playlists with ease. At the other end of the price scale is the latest apple ipod, the ipod touch 32GB, which will set you back around £322. This is the latest in ipod technology and has a huge amount of features.
The ipod touch also has a small screen, so it allows you to watch films and video as well, much like the ipod nano which came out a few years ago now. There is up to 5 hours continuous playback on this ipod, so you can watch films for 5 hours, ideal if you are on a plane journey. It can also store thousands of your songs, so you can listen all day long. The only drawback is the battery life, but 5 hours is the best you will get at present. Better technology in the future will no doubt be able to increase the battery life, and i guess it will not be that long before we have 12 hours playback ipods.
Argos have the biggest selection of ipods around so it is worth taking a look at the catalogue, and the customer reviews also help you decide if it is worth spending your money before you buy.
The main thing to consider when buying an ipod or mp3 player is the memory. A 1GB memory can hold around 500 songs and still have some memory left over, and there are ipods that have much more memory than this. If you think that a 30GB memory can store about 20,000 songs and these can still fit in your pocket you realise that this type of ipod or mp3 player will most certainly hold your entire collection of songs and then some.
The larger the memory the higher the cost, but argos currently sell a 1GB apple ipod shuffle for under £30 in a wide variety of colours, and this represents a great deal, and is one of the best ipod prices you are likely to find anywhere. You also have access to the apple i tunes software, which helps you organise all your tracks and create playlists with ease. At the other end of the price scale is the latest apple ipod, the ipod touch 32GB, which will set you back around £322. This is the latest in ipod technology and has a huge amount of features.
The ipod touch also has a small screen, so it allows you to watch films and video as well, much like the ipod nano which came out a few years ago now.

Argos Prepaid mobile phones
There are even more great deals on mobile phones at the moment at the argos website. Argos are really pushing their mobile phone stock, and are constantly lowering their prices, which now means they are some of the most competitive on the market. There are prepaid deals, contract phones and pay as you go deals from all the main mobile networks such as Orange, T Mobile and Vodafone, and all the latest must have phones from Nokia, Samsung, LG and many more.
The prepaid idea does get a bit of a bad rap these days, and is similar to the pay as you go idea in the UK. Basically you top up your mobile phone with credit, and then you simply use this credit to make phone calls and texts, or browse the internet and even download games.
The main problem with the prepaid deals is that the cost of phone calls is much higher than if you are on a contract deal. The more you top up your credit the more the mobile network your with will give you little bonuses such as free text messages at certain times, or small discounts on calls. Another big problem is the cost of making a call to another mobile phone. These calls can be really expensive, depending on the time of day you make the call.
You can get cheaper calls if you ring someone who is on the same network as you, but if they are not then you will pay a heavy price. These calls can cost up to 50p a minute, sometimes more, it all depends on which network you are with. O2 have their own sim cards that offer free texts each month if you top up your mobile phone with at least £10 per month, so you can get some good deals out there.
Prepaid mobile phones are all over the place these days, but you will also pay more for the actual phone because you buy it outright from the start. Contract deals give you the phone for a much cheaper price, sometimes they are even free, however if you do sign up to a contract with a mobile phone operator you are then tied to the contract for around 1 year, up to 18 months, and you still have to cough up the monthly payments for this term. This means that the original cost of the phone is absorbed into this price, so in reality the phone is not free at all, it is just a tempting way to get people to sign into the contract.
At Argos there is a wide range of prepaid phones on offer, with very different prices and features, so be sure to check the catalogue for the latest deals and discounts because they change very frequently.
