1. Be honest, straightforward and unaggressive and you are more likely to get one.

2. If you dont get a discount, ask to leave your name and number and tell them you’d like to buy your chosen product as soon as the sale starts. Soemtimes they call back immediately.

3. Check if the item is cheaper in another store. Own-Label stores will give discounts if you tell them the price at another store. Some stores even have lowest price promise.

4. Befriend your local boutique and the owner is more likely to give you discount if they know you.

5. Sign up for the shop’s mailing list. You’ll be informed of any special offers and any evenings. For example, Debenhams and Habitat do special evenings and discounts for valued customers.

6. Try a personal shopper service where you might get a discount at the end of it!
