Birmingham, West Midlands -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/29/2015 -- According to UCAS, the University Admissions Service, the number of students potentially going to university and higher education in 2015 is at one of its highest levels - up 3% compared to the same point last year. This represents an extra 13,000 students, meaning that more young people are preparing to make the transition from home to university.

The move into student accommodation, or even just a new area in itself, can be both daunting as well as exciting. A common concern of both students and their parents alike is in terms of having all the right equipment for the university experience. This involves considerations including kitchenware, bedroom furnishings and an absolute essential for those student spaces – good storage. Organization and efficiency are qualities which are highly regarded at university and therefore it matters that these are factors active in the equipment chosen too.

Furthermore, with such an influx of students expected this academic year, it can be anticipated that homeware retailers will be busy – ensuring the right supplies are available to get students set for the experience ahead. A prime example of a retailer offering an extensive range of goods is Betterware – which takes pride in the ease it allows its customers, allowing extensive items to be sourced all in one place.

Students often make use of the online and catalogue service, and a Betterware spokesperson was keen to comment on the university increases:

"We want to wish our congratulations and good luck to all those starting higher education this September and October. It is a time to embrace experiences and achieve potentials. It is also an experience enhanced when you have all the right equipment to make yourself feel at home. With our kitchenware, storage solutions and various home goods, we can be sure to have you properly stocked and at great prices."

Birmingham, West Midlands -- (SBWIRE) -- 09/22/2015 -- It is difficult not to notice the television phenomenon which is The Great British Bake Off. With recent BBC figures highlighting that the third show of the series reached an audience of 10.1 million – a figure anticipated to rise over the season of the show itself - baking appears to be a highly popular area of interest. Furthermore, the focus for all things 'baking' and 'cooking' has seemed to extend to households, with many individuals as well as families aspiring to get creative in the kitchen.

Baking especially is a popular recreation, as can be done whatever the weather – and often allows for a tasty end result too! Additionally, it offers the capacity for those involved to be as adventurous or conservative as they choose. The realization of the variety of edible projects which can be constructed from a few simple ingredients is enlightening to some; with the same key ingredients involved in cakes, cookies, biscuits and muffins.

An essential way keen bakers can make the most of their ingredients, yet keep adding elements of interest to their baking – thus a cost-effective method – is to appreciate the amount of baking equipment out there. By having a selection of tins, moulds and cutters for example, this opens up potential for culinary delights of every shape and size. A prime example of a key provider of quality bakeware is Betterware – experts in the industry. They are frequent commentators on industry news and a spokesperson had this to say:

"The attention and evident popularity around The Great British Bake Off is something to be celebrated. We want to ensure that those interested have the opportunity to not just watch baking on the television, but have everything they need to enjoy it at home. That is why we offer a range of equipment – from basic essentials to more elaborate and fun innovations. That means you can source everything in one place - where there is certainly something for everyone!"

Birmingham, UK -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/25/2015 -- According to Euromonitor data, the total of UK spending on pet care is set to reach a level of $7.16bn this year - a record high. This figure is a 3% increase compared to last year and shows a growth of 25% since 2010. This suggests that more money is being spent on pets than ever before, with people increasingly perceiving them as a worthwhile investment.

A key reason for the increase in pet spending is the desire of owners for their animals to have a high quality of life, and to have heightened levels of interaction with the world around them. Many people are taking to treating their pets as they would treat themselves – especially with toys, as this can aid interaction between people and their animals. Another important area of spending is on pampering. This includes popular purchases such as brushes and combs, often used – both to improve the pets appearance and to enhance the relationship between owner and animal.

About Betterware
Betterware is a leading homeware and garden equipment provider – also stocking a wide range of pet products, including grooming equipment and accessories. They are frequent commentators on industry news and were quick to reflect on the estimations of further increases in spending on pets.

"The figures highlight the high levels of interest people take in wanting to make sure their animals are happy" A spokesperson said "This is such a positive thing. Yet although spending is increasing overall, this does not mean that you have to anticipate higher prices. Here at Betterware, we hold the factors of quality and affordability as highly important – meaning that we continue to offer our pet care products at the most accessible prices. From soft toys to colourful novelties, there are so many ways of introducing a little animal magic."

Birmingham, West Midlands -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/20/2015 -- A recent report has highlighted that The Consumer Goods Forum (CGF) has announced its commitment to tackling the issue of global food waste, aiming to half the waste produced within the operations of its 400 manufacture and retail members by 2025. This emphasizes the scale of the effort being taken to increase efficiency and reduce the amount of potentially fit food being thrown away. Britain's 'Love Food, Hate Waste' campaign is a further example of focus upon sustainability, buying and eating habits.

The issue of wasted food has received increased publicity in recent years – with a number of incentives for households to reduce their output. Food waste from homes is a significant problem, not only in terms of the cost and loss of produce, but also added issues such as vermin and more waste on landfill. Yet the key reasons for such high levels of wastage often go unaddressed. For example, the poor storage of food items often leads to spoilage and them being discarded before they are even used or cooked. It is anticipated that in light of the CGF announcement, more measures will be encouraged at a domestic level, to reduce food wastage of this kind.

About Betterware
Betterware are key providers of homeware and outdoor goods, as well as a range of kitchen and storage innovation which prioritize the proper storing of food products. They were quick to comment on the recent news.

"We think that the illustration of commitment to food wastage reduction by the CGF is a highly positive thing," A spokesperson said "The reduction of waste in the kitchen is something we aim to incorporate in our products at Betterware. From tins and containers with air-tight seals to extend shelf-life, to products which help with the efficient cutting of vegetables – there is a solution to minimize mess and excess. We would encourage people to browse our range; they may well be surprised by the simple solutions they can use to make themselves more efficient and economical in the kitchen. This allows people to keep as sustainable as possible in their kitchen practices."

Birmingham, West Midlands -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/17/2015 -- According to new research from Mintel's British Lifestyles Report which observes consumer activity, UK shoppers have made significant cuts to their spending over the last year. Much of this activity appears to be directed towards saving money for larger expenses later – such as a holiday. One area in which shoppers are spending less is leisure and entertainment – with spending cut by 34%. This emphasizes that despite 2014 marking the fastest rate of economic growth since 2007; consumers are keeping up the money-savvy shopping habits they probably acquired in the earlier down-turn.

Therefore the figures suggest that many are making more cost-efficient choices when it comes to their purchases. People still want to buy leisure and entertainment products, as the survey shows, but through means which will save them money. This has been facilitated by the rise of businesses offering quality products at lower prices, ensuring consumers get the value for money they strive for, especially prior to the holiday season. But this does not mean that businesses will be hard-hit by these new habits – instead, the best are already taking steps to cater for the spending-conscious shopper.

Birmingham, West Midlands -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/03/2015 -- Leading UK home shopping company, Betterware, have recently commented on a photographer's recent project, which has involved snapping shots of households across China, and the online purchases they've made.

The Chinese photographer Huang Qingjun's recent project has involved taking pictures of homeowner's online purchased goods in front of their homes, which showcases purchasing habits across the country. The most interesting element of note in this project is the range of people who shop online, with densely populated as well as sparse areas of the country covered.

This project is a sequel to his homeowner's project, which took everything outside for photographing, and this time the focus highlights the impact online shopping has had versus purchases made offline. It was revealed that online shopping acted as a lifeline in remote areas.

Huang said, 'I look for people from all corners of China to showcase what they have. It's a transparent and interesting way to look into people's lives. People usually only invite good friends to their homes, because it's a private space, but my pictures show what people possess. They satisfy our natural curiosity.'

Often commenting on shopping related news, a spokesperson for Betterware said, 'This display of pictures from Huang Qingjun show the impact online shopping can have, from city dwellers to yurt owners. Many people chose to shop online because of convenience and that is why at Betterware we have a fully interactive website.

However, we also strive to bring that efficiency in catalog form – as our compressive catalogue allows you to make an order to be delivered straight to your door. This best-of-both solution therefore offers accessibility whether you live in the town or city and is something we are incredibly proud of.

At Betterware we take pride in the wide range of household goods we offer, and with the prices and range, if Huang was to pop over to the UK, I'm sure he'd see many Betterware purchases in his photos. We might also be able to show him how functional our catalogue system is too and how much our customers value its efficiency!'
