Fantastic Daily Offers on Mother’s Day Gifts

Elemis

It’s always tough finding a unique gift idea for Mother’s Day, and if you’ve left it to the last minute you’re likely to stick to the usual suspects of flowers and chocolates. Wahanda is here to help you surprise your mum instead with our new daily MobDeals. Even late night shoppers can join in as all deals are sold as e-vouchers, so you just pick, print and pamper.

This week in the lead up to Mother’s Day on the 14th March, Wahanda’s MobDeals in London, Birmingham and Manchester will feature mum-friendly beauty and spa packages with up to 80% off, which each last for 24 hours only.

Prices start at just £20, and deals include:

  • An Elemis facial and beauty gift
  • Spa days at leading London destinations, and
  • Manicure and pedicure offers.

Remember, MobDeals rely on collective buying so to ensure you get your deal, tell all your friends and social networking pals – they’ll have mums to treat too!

Wahanda Gift Voucher & FREE Gift
If you’d rather spoil your mum with choice, the Wahanda Spa and Wellness Gift Voucher has all you need. Beautifully packaged and valid at over 480 locations across the UK, your mum can take her pick from hundreds of tempting treatments. You can even give her that little bit extra – spend £50 or more and we’ll include a free Thalgo ‘Love Your Skin’ gift set, or for pure indulgence spend £100 and we’ll include a free RevitaLash Eyelash Conditioner worth £90 for luscious lashes without the mascara – priceless.

Wahanda Launches MobDeals in Manchester and Birmingham

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

Collective Buying Power for Spa, Beauty & Fitness Deals

mobdeal-press-release-picFollowing from the massively successful launch of London MobDeals, Wahanda, the leading online health, beauty and wellness resource, is now bringing MobDeals to Manchester & Birmingham. The launch of MobDeals gives local residents the ability to share in the power of group buying to get unbeatable daily deals of up to 80% off on massages, facials, spa days, haircuts, manicures, yoga, Pilates classes, and more from the best local businesses.

MobDeal launches the week of February 15th with fantastic offers in both new cities: the Manchester MobDeal features a pamper offer of only £20 for a Massage and Facial at The Spa Co Urban Oasis (normal price £50, savings of 60%),  and the Birmingham MobDeal has an offer of £18 for Three Power Plate Sessions at The Vibro Suite (a value of £60, saving consumers 70%).

How MobDeals work:

1) Using the power of collective buying, Wahanda negotiates special volume discounts with top spas, salons, gyms and studios to offer one exciting MobDeal every day from Monday to Friday.
2) The deal is open to everyone but is typically only available for 24 hours, and only becomes “live” if enough people sign up for that day’s MobDeal (the number varies by day and deal).
3) Customers are encouraged to share the deal with friends via email and social networking tools such as Facebook and Twitter because if the minimum number of purchases is not met, no one gets the deal.
4) Once a MobDeal has been purchased by the minimum number of customers, the unbeatable deal has officially “tipped” and is available for the rest of the day for anyone to purchase

The Wahanda MobDeal creates a win-win situation for consumers and for spas, salons and fitness venues by guaranteeing a minimum number of new customers to these businesses. Best of all, Wahanda is giving something back– for every MobDeal purchase made, Wahanda will donate £1 to charity:water to continue supporting their great cause of bringing fresh water to communities.

For all MobDeals and to sign up for your daily email visit www.wahanda.com/mobdeal

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Tis the season to be pampered, so what better gift for your loved ones than the ultimate health and beauty voucher? The Wahanda voucher is the most widely accepted voucher of its kind in the UK, valid at over 360 spas, salons, fitness studios and wellness centres nationwide. With new venues added daily, it’s fabulously flexible and perfect for anyone who’s picky about their presents.

love-your-skin_mini-discovery-set_thalgo
Prices start at just £25 and range up to £200, so whether you’re looking for a stocking filler or luxurious surprise we’ve got it covered. Plus, each voucher purchase of £50 or more includes a free Thalgo Love Your Skin gift set, and last minute shoppers needn’t miss out with our guaranteed next day delivery as standard.
So why not tick everyone off of your Christmas list in one simple swoop – because one gift fits all…

  • For the Stylistas

Party season means pampering, and any girl who loves her beauty fix will treasure a Wahanda spa gift voucher. From everyday facial and manicure treatments to looking 10 years younger with Botox, teeth whitening and hair extensions, she can indulge in the same super spas as Madge and Posh.

  • For the Fitness Fanatic

You can’t treat your fit, toned, treadmill-obsessed friends with a big box of chocolates. Show how well you know them with a Wahanda voucher which they can spend on the latest Power Plate craze, Pilates classes or even ski training sessions, as well as splurge on their January detox.

  • For the Workaholic

This friend may not know the meaning of me-time. A Wahanda voucher will give them the chance to unwind in country spa retreats and hotel spas such as Spa SPC at Stoke Park or Champneys health farms. Or they can even stay at home to indulge with a mobile spa, so there’s no excuse not to relax.

  • For the Man in Your Life

The Wahanda voucher works for the boys, too. 65% of male spa bookings are for men’s massage, so why not treat him to one? He might prefer a heart-hugging fitness class, a luxury wet shave so he’s groomed and gorgeous this Christmas or a romantic spa break – a gift for you, too!

Whoever is on your Christmas list this year, make their individual wishes come true. For full details see www.wahanda.com/voucher.
