Meet Zara Ellison

Sharing savings makes me happy! I’m Zara Ellison, Brand Expert at VoucherCodes, passionate about bringing shoppers genuine coupons and the latest offers to help save money every day.

At VoucherCodes, I spend my days searching for the newest deals from brands like Apple Store Online, Codashop, and many others. I’ve been here for 1.5 years, and my BCom in Finance helps me analyse every offer closely, making sure all coupons are valid and worth your time. This attention to detail ensures you find only the best and most reliable discounts on fashion, gadgets, and everyday essentials.

Outside of work, I love exploring new fashion trends, listening to music, and travelling. Myntra and Ajio are my favourite places to shop for footwear, apparel, and accessories. From my experience, the best way to save more on fashion and cosmetics is to shop during big sale events, where limited-time deals can make a real difference. I’m here to help you shop smart and enjoy every purchase even more.

Spotlight Q&A

What’s your favourite part of publishing a brand page from start to finish?

My favourite part of publishing a brand page from start to finish is definitely the process of discovering new offers and then completing the final step of publishing. Finding a fresh, exciting deal feels like uncovering a hidden treasure it’s incredibly rewarding to know I’m bringing real value to shoppers by highlighting something new and beneficial. This discovery phase requires thorough research, keen attention to detail, and a bit of patience, which makes the success even sweeter. It’s a satisfying challenge to sift through numerous offers to find the ones that truly stand out and will make a difference for users. Equally satisfying is the finishing touch making sure every detail is perfect before publishing. From verifying the offer’s validity and accuracy to ensuring the content is clear and the links work flawlessly, this final step is where everything comes together. It’s the moment I get to share my hard work with users, confident that they’ll soon benefit from the deal. This blend of discovery and delivery is what makes publishing brand pages both enjoyable and fulfilling, as I know I’m helping shoppers save time and money with reliable, valuable offers.

Do you check if the coupons still work?

Yes, I always check if the coupons still work. I want to make sure that every user finds active and valid offers. For coupons that have an expiry date, I remove them without wasting any time once they expire. This helps avoid the frustration of trying out of date codes. For coupons that don’t come with a set expiry date like sign up offers or ongoing promotions I follow a 30-day review process. For example, if I post a sign up coupon today and it has no expiry date, I set a reminder to check it again after 30 days. If the coupon is still working, I keep it live. But if it’s no longer available or the offer has been removed by the brand, I take it down immediately. This system helps me keep everything up to date. I also test coupons regularly to confirm they work during checkout. If something fails, I double check the terms and remove it if needed. My goal is to make sure users only see real, working deals. It’s all about keeping the coupon list clean, helpful and trustworthy for anyone looking to save money.

How do you decide which discounts will actually help shoppers save the most in real life?

When deciding which discounts will truly help shoppers save the most, I focus on the overall practical value rather than just the headline percentage. It’s important to evaluate the real savings offered by the deal, taking into account the final price after applying the discount. I carefully examine the terms and conditions of each offer to identify any restrictions, such as minimum purchase requirements, product exclusions, or limited uses, which could reduce the deal’s actual benefit. I prioritize discounts that are clear, straightforward, and easy for shoppers to redeem without hidden catches. Comparing offers across multiple retailers allows me to find the most genuine and valuable deals available. I also consider opportunities where multiple discounts or promotions can be combined to maximize savings. Ultimately, my goal is to highlight discounts that are practical and relevant to everyday shopping habits, ensuring that the deals provide meaningful, real-world savings shoppers can rely on. By focusing on these factors, I help users find offers that truly stretch their budgets and enhance their shopping experience.
