Thread: Currys, PcWorld, The Link & Dixons offline til late on 2

An e-mail was sent out - The downtime was originally scheduled for yesterday, but a further e-mail was sent at the 11th hour, informing us that it had been postponed by 24 hours.

Thanks John,

Must admit I don't do much electrical stuff, but can't find an email - oh well, just one of those things.

I'll retract then and say good on dixons group to ensure we are informed then!

I received an email from each of the dixons group shops informing me of the down time and the £5 off offer when the new sites are up and running. Also received an email mail informing me of the delay on the downtime.
To be honest I won't miss any of the dixons group shops, they are the worst electrical goods retailer performer by far i have on my site, this has always baffled me. For example on my site the ratio for comet to dixons/currys sales is at least 25:1 and i just cant believe comet prices are that much better than dixons/currys prices. Given that i have premoted currys, dixons and comet equally on my site this will always baffle me!

Anyway heres hoping their new designed sites will increase conversion rates or perhaps their making their phone number even more obvious than it already is so people can phone in their order and save poor old dixons group paying commissions.

Hi,

I get very few electrical sales and have found that the Dixons group and Comet convert for me better. Sent 100's of click to Empire Direct but no sale. Guess because they provide the Order by phone link clearly visible.
