LEEDS (England): The World Cup is less than a month away but already World cup excitement has reached fever pitch across the nation and at voucher code site VoucherSeeker (http://www.voucherseeker.co.uk/vouchercodes)!

This year's world cup will be the 19th tournament, which is to be held in South Africa. During the month long event, 32 teams will battle it out for a place in the final, and ultimately be crowned World Cup Winners.

Many retail outlets are eager to offer World Cup merchandise, but the cost of this can quickly add up. However, consumers need not worry about their pockets over the World Cup season, as shopping online using voucher codes and discount vouchers could get consumers money off World Cup products.

Traditionally seen as a way to save money on products such as electricals and fashion, discount codes and promotional codes from VoucherSeeker can also help to get discounts once World Cup excitement hits fever pitch. Not only offering consumers Vodafone promotional codes (http://www.voucherseeker.co.uk/voucher-codes/64728/vodafonepromotionalcodes) and Currys discount codes http://www.voucherseeker.co.uk/voucher-codes/76737/currys-discount-codes.html for every day products, VoucherSeeker also offers consumers a cheaper way to enjoy the World Cup.

"VoucherSeeker has plenty of vouchers for money off," states Duke Tanson, VoucherSeeker Director. "Whether consumers want to travel to the World Cup event or just enjoy the matches at home on new electricals, VoucherSeeker has voucher codes and discount vouchers which mean you can do it for less!"

Retailers are relying on the World Cup to help create more sales. Sales on the high street during April fell by 2.3%, according to research by BRC-KPMG Retail Sales Monitor. The same period in 2009, sales were up by 4.6%. Reasons for the poor sales include the timing of the Easter holidays, as well as continued bad weather.

However, UK consumers are set to provide the economy with a welcome World Cup boost, research by Mintel has found. During the World Cup, 63% of people will be spending more on leisure activities, 71% of people are expected to be watching the World Cup, whilst only 28% of people claim not to be interested in it whatsoever.

No only this, but 23% of people will be placing bets and 81% of people visiting pubs to watch the World Cup are expected to spend more money whilst there. 29% of people will be buying more snacks whilst the World Cup tournament is taking place. This means that both the high street and online retailers will see a much needed boost to sales.

Many valued brands are hoping to cash in from the World Cup. From Adidas launching World Cup trainers, to Npower re-enacing the Maradona incident, brands recognise the significance of the World Cup and that people will be spending money during this period.

"The World Cup is not only a big event which brings the nation together, it's also a massive marketing opportunity for brands," states Duke.

The South African World Cup is set to bring the whole nation together as they watch the tournament take place. Not only is it a massive sporting event, it is also a big spending event for the high street, which has experienced poor sales due to the recession and bad weather. As the World Cup fever takes hold, consumers no longer need to worry about their pockets due to discount codes and vouchers from online voucher code site VoucherSeeker. Whether consumers will be flying out to South Africa, or simply enjoying the games at home, VoucherSeeker (http://www.voucherseeker.co.uk/vouchercodes) offers consumers promotional codes and voucher codes in order to save them money.
