Cheaper Bills

The Governments cuts are sweeping across the country, some announced, some unannounced. My local refuse site is now closed for half the week. Workers have had their wages cut by £90 a week! This will throw their budgets into chaos and they will be looking for ways to save money.

A good place to start to save money is to switch energy suppliers. There are many energy providers and it can be confusing to know which way to turn. Don’t be tempted to sign up with the latest company who knocks at your door; take time to do your own research and be aware that legally a new supplier should first provide you with a quotation showing your projected usage and expenditure. Price comparison sites can be helpful but do be aware that utility companies pay to be featured on these sites and pass these costs on to you the consumer.

One company that you won’t find on any comparison/switching sites is the Utility Warehouse Discount Club. Telecom Plus is a large British PLC (trading as Utility Warehouse) that has been trading for fourteen years. They don’t spend any money on advertising and choose to pass on the savings they make to their customers.
In addition, they are the only energy supplier who offers telephony services as well (home-phone, broadband or mobile). Customers receive one simple monthly bill covering all of the services they use, which makes control of outgoings much easier.
A further option offered by the Utility Warehouse is the Cash Back Card. If you use this card when shopping with their Cash Back Card retail partners, discounts based on the value of your purchases will be applied to your monthly utility bill. What a simple and painless way to reduce your utility costs! The retailers who participate in this scheme include Sainsbury’s, Marks & Spencer’s, Boots, Argos, Comet, Mothercare and there are many, many more, with new names being added all the time, such as Asda from 1st January 2011.
If you are interested, click here, to see which stores already offer discounts to Utility Warehouse customers, by simply selecting ‘Visit the Clubhouse’ in the bottom right hand corner of the screen. Once in the Clubhouse you can look at either our Cash Back Card Partners or if you like shopping online browse through the over 1,500 stores offering discounts to Utility Warehouse customers.
Increase the Income into Your Household
If you are struggling financially another option is to bring additional income into the household to remove the financial stress. However finding traditional employment is not easy given the current economic climate so you may need to ‘think outside the box’. There are a whole host of self employed ‘work from home’ opportunities on the internet which have very low start up costs. Take your time to review these, in particular assess the level of stock you will need to hold (as this can be a hidden cost).
A business opportunity that I chose to invest in, and can recommend, is offered by Telecom Plus (trading as the Utility Warehouse). Telecom Plus has grown from just an idea into a company with a turnover of over £360 million whose shares are traded on the London Stock Exchange – a track record second to none. This phenomenal growth in turnover and profits has been achieved by word of mouth “referral marketing” and its sales team, or distributors, do not need to hold stock to be successful. Anyone who wants to earn money and has drive and enthusiasm can become successful with Telecom Plus.
So how many people do you know who use the phone, switch on a light, turn on the oven or us the internet? The Utility Warehouse is not asking people to spend extra money on services they do not normally use or need, they are simply offering the same services but with one major difference – they offer far better value! You would be tapping into a market where people and businesses are already spending many billions of pounds a year. Every time your customers make a phone call, switch on a light, turn on the heating or surf the net, you would be getting paid. The residual income you build will continue to be paid as long as your customers continue to use these services, and that could be long after you have stopped building your Telecom Plus business!
