Countdown’s great low prices now online
Countdown’s great low prices are now available to online grocery shoppers.
“We’re delighted that we’ve brought together Countdown’s low prices with the convenience of shopping online”, says Elizabeth Ryley, Progressive Enterprises General Manager Communications and Marketing.
Countdown’s owner Progressive Enterprises Ltd has provided online grocery shopping for the last 12 years through the Foodtown and Woolworths brands, and it knows what customers want.
“At Countdown, we take online shopping personally”, says Adam Hudson, National Online Manager.
“Our dedicated personal shoppers follow customers’ instructions exactly – whether it’s how ripe they want their bananas, or whether delivery should be made to the front door or back door.”
The new site generates shopping lists of favourite products for Onecard customers based on what they buy regularly and has a great recipe section for meal inspirations.
Online shoppers also receive the benefits of the Onecard programme - earning 1 Onecard Reward point for every $10 spent, and collecting bonus points from Countdown’s regular Onecard Windback promotions.
For social clubs and small businesses, www.countdown.co.nz makes it easy to plan and shop for those end-of-year parties and Friday night drinks.
“It’s a great, no-stress way of getting everything you need if you’re the one organising the next work do,” says Mr Hudson.
“We recommend checking out the Useful Lists section for prepared shopping lists, such as Barbecue Inspiration or Our Party Picks to make things even easier.”
All of Countdown’s regular brands are available on the site, including the popular Home Brand and Select ranges.
“It’s our policy to be the best value supermarket in New Zealand, and this, the extension of our Online shopping service into the Countdown brand, is simply another way that we offer great value to customers,” says Mr Hudson.
Countdown online is at www.countdown.co.nz.
