Where to Shop: Loyalty Programs for Clothing and Footwear

Clothes and shoes are not just an element of style, but a necessity. Moreover, the climate dictates its own rules: you need warm winter shoes, demi-season jackets and light summer outfits. In addition, things should be suitable for work, walking, going to cafes and family events, sports or any other hobby. Well, if you have children, the number of necessary clothes and shoes increases many times.

Thus, replenishing the wardrobe is a tangible expense, even if you buy only the most necessary. The way out is to use all the tools to save money, which are offered by shops and shopping centres as part of promotional campaigns and loyalty programmes.

Popular retailers

Slovenia's clothing and footwear market is a mix of global fast fashion brands and popular discounters, internationally renowned luxury brands and local designers. This gives shoppers a wide choice, regardless of their preferences and financial means.

Budget brands and discounters

NKD catalog, Kik, Mana and Pepco catalog offer a wide range of affordable clothing and accessories, satisfying the needs of those who appreciate a reasonable combination of price and quality. Their models are oriented towards everyday style, which makes them popular among both young and mature consumers, as well as families with children, as there is almost always a kids clothes sale. And if you add to this the bargains and clothing discounts announced by low price shops, cheap online clothing stores and even supermarket chains, it becomes clear why they are so sought after.

Youth fashion and fast fashion

New Yorker, Bershka attract mainly young people and students, offering current trends, colourful models and constant updating of collections. Their shops are bright, dynamic spaces where you can find fashionable novelties at affordable prices.

International giants: from colourful looks to elegance

Major retailers such as C&A, H&M, Zara and Stradivarius represent a synthesis of quality, style and innovation. H&M and Zara, for example, set the tone for modern fast fashion, offering both basic wardrobe and extravagant models, while Stradivarius is known for its refined approach to women's fashion and more restrained style.

Shoes for every taste

In the footwear segment Mass, Deichmann and Office shoes stand out, offering popular brands in different price categories and styles. Deichmann and Office shoes offer a wide range of shoes for any occasion: from sports trainers to classic models, and Mass brand is oriented on practical and stylish solutions for everyday life.

Thus, there is plenty to choose from, and if the right shops are not nearby, you can order everything you need online and try on your shoes in a few days.

Who are the main buyers

One of the most prominent groups is young people and millennials between the ages of 18 and 35. This is an audience for whom fashion is a way of self-expression. They are actively experimenting with looks, favouring sports and street style, and are increasingly choosing cheap clothes online. And the influence of social networks only increases their consumer activity.

Families with children also play an important role, forming a significant part of consumer demand. They are oriented towards quality and eco-friendliness as well as affordability and variety. That is why discounts and promotional offers are in trend here.

Visitors from Italy, Austria and Germany are mainly interested in the premium segment and souvenir products, which allows local retailers to attract additional income and form an exclusive offer.

Finally, the rapidly growing segment of eco-orientated consumers should not be overlooked. They follow sustainability trends and favour products made from organic materials, local brands and recycled fabrics. These consumers value not only style but also ethical production.

Thus, young people and families remain the key drivers of the Slovenian market, with their frequent and high volume purchases setting the main vector of development. However, tourists and eco-buyers, despite their niche nature, are forming promising trends in the premium segment and sustainable fashion.

Loyalty cards: clothing sales, cheap dresses and pleasant surprises

No one can be surprised by the huge abundance of products - customers are also interested in the terms and conditions of purchase. That is why many retailers offer their visitors all kinds of promotions and discounts, and loyalty programmes for regular customers.

myKiK - personalised offers and obvious benefits

Loyalty program myKiK stands out by the fact that it does not promise discounts for everyone, but looks for an approach to you. Here they value not only the frequency of purchases, but also your time, preferences and do not forget about holidays.

Signing up: faster than brewing coffee

Getting a myKiK card is easier than it looks. You can download the app and log in, or you can go the traditional way - fill out a questionnaire in the shop, where you can ask for help from the counsellors. Done - you are already in the system.

What are the advantages

Every month myKiK prepares a surprise for the members of the programme - rotation of goods with a 15% discount. These are not just random items, but actual novelties and seasonal hits, which are described in the KiK catalog. Along with them, you will also get a chance for awards, which the retailer periodically pleases you with. 

In addition, after every fifth purchase, the programme gives you an additional 20% discount. No matter what you buy: hot offers from the current flyer or a bright new product of the season, the programme remembers your activity and rewards you for your loyalty.

For those who need time to think, the retailer has added a great feature - booking. You can hold up to 5 items for one day by contacting the branch staff. 

And on a special day like your birthday, you'll get a personalised surprise. It can be an exclusive promo code, a mini gift or double bonuses.

Subscription is not spam, but real benefits

In addition, if you subscribe to the newsletter, you will regularly receive exclusive offers and coupons designed especially for you. And even if you haven't activated this option yet, it's always easy to join and start enjoying the benefits.

In this way, myKiK does more than just offer discounts - it creates a personalised service that makes shopping more convenient and profitable, turning every transaction into an opportunity to get something nice in return.

MANA Club: the world of fashion without overpayments

With a club card you don't just buy clothes and accessories for the whole family, you become part of a community where style is about saving money, not huge expenses. There's no fee to sign up, and membership doesn't commit you to anything. Just show your card when you shop and get instant access to exclusive prices. No subscriptions, commissions or complicated rules.

How does it work?

Every purchase at MANA Club is converted into points. Spend €1? Get 1 point. Paid 2 or 2.99 €? You get 2 points. The more often you buy, the more you save. Points are instantly displayed in your account, so you can always see your progress. You can also check them at any time - even without a receipt.

Discounts that are waiting for their time

Every three months MANA Club summarises the results and gives you a discount proportional to your activity. The reporting periods are divided into quarters: November-January, February-April and so on. How does it work? Let's say you were actively buying in winter. Then in February or March you will be able to apply the accumulated discount on goods from regular sales. The main thing is to be in time for the ‘reward months’: February/March, May, August/September and November.

The dates of the discounts and the balance of points are visible in your personal cabinet after each purchase. And you don't need to memorise the terms and conditions - the system will remind you when it's time to use your savings. However, there is a nuance: points are not transferred to the next period. But this is just a reason to enjoy yourself more often with new clothes.

Where does the discount work?

The discount can be activated in all shops of the chain, except for outlet shops. Check out the Mana catalogue and choose from novelties, basics or accessories - there are no limits. And if you like exclusive offers, keep an eye out for sales: members often get early access to the hottest items.

What to choose?

How to choose the very programme that will save you money and give you the joy of shopping? Of course, you should go by your personal preferences and needs.

If you want the programme to ‘adjust’ to you: give you surprises, remind you of yourself and do not require you to buy only clothes, then myKiK is what you need. If shopping is a family ritual for you, and discounts should be predictable and large-scale, you will definitely like MANA Club.

And if in doubt, get both cards. MyKiK is suitable for everyday small things, and MANA Club for seasonal wardrobe updates. This way you will cover all your needs and save as much as possible.

How to buy shoes without going broke?

Mass, Deichmann and Office Shoes are the three pillars of local shopping. But even here, you can pay less if you know a few tricks.

Mass: budget-friendly but tasteful

Mass appreciates those who keep an eye out for sales. The end of the season is your finest hour: discounts on winter boots in January-February and summer sandals in July-August are often up to 50 per cent off.

Keep an eye on the website for offers. Sometimes you can get a bargain on a pair of a particular brand. For example, there was a promotion in early March where you could save 20% on comfortable shoes from Puma and Converse.

Don't forget to subscribe to the shop's newsletter - sometimes there are promo codes like ‘10% for the first purchase’ or invitations to closed promotions hidden there. And if you want to double the benefits, look out for the ‘2 pairs for €25’ promotions - perfect for family shopping.

Deichmann: a global giant with local surprises

Deichmann isn't just about hundreds of models, it's also about smart savings. Check it out in November when the pre-Christmas sales kick off, or in February when the winter collection drops in price by up to 70 per cent.

Don't miss the Outlet section of the website, where you can find last year's hits at bargain prices. Of course, there's not always an abundance of popular sizes, but if you go there all the time, you'll be lucky.

In addition, the shop co-operates with popular brands such as Adidas, Nike, Puma and others, offering special promotions and discounts on their products.

Office Shoes: trends + benefits

Here they don't just sell shoes - they create smart shopping opportunities. Thus, it is easy to save money by taking care of your wardrobe in advance. For example, now Office Shoes has launched the Spring Discounts promotion, and this is your chance to get a trendy pair from iconic brands. Skechers, Converse and Puma collections are now available for as much as 20% off.

Don't like digging through endless catalogues? The Office Shoes website has done it all for you. In the ‘Discounts’ section the goods are sorted by discount level: from 10% to 70%. Want to save a little on a new pair? Choose the ‘10%’ category. Dreaming of branded shoes at half price? Scroll down to the ‘50-70%’ section. It's like a shopping game: you find your level, you get what you want.

And online shopping is not only convenient, but also favourable. The shop gives customers free delivery. Ideal for those who value time and budget.

The sweetest promotions often ‘fly’ past those who did not have time to react. To make sure you don't miss out on any great deals, sign up for the Office Shoes newsletter. Emails with new collection announcements, exclusive promo codes and early access to sales will arrive straight to your inbox. For example, this is how many people find out about the start of seasonal discounts a few hours earlier than others.

All-purpose shopping tricks

Before you go to the shop, check the website. Online prices are often lower, and you can order by pickup - so you'll save money and get the pair you want without worrying about whether you'll have the right size or colour.

If you are a tourist, do not forget about Tax Free: often purchases for a certain amount will allow you to return 10-15% of the cost.

And most importantly, buy out of season. Sandals in September and Uggs in March can cost half as much, and the quality will remain the same.
