Argos Catalogue

Argos is a British retailer founded in 1972, originally built around a catalogue-based ordering model. Customers would browse a printed catalogue, select their items, and collect them at a nearby store. Today Argos is a leading retailer across the UK and Ireland, and has been a subsidiary of Sainsbury's since 2016.

The Argos Catalogue

The Argos catalogue was a defining feature of the retailer's business model from its launch in 1972. Catalogues were printed regularly and distributed to homes throughout the UK, allowing customers to browse, select items and place an order over the phone or in-store for later collection.

The catalogues were known for their wide range of products and for the detailed information they provided to help customers decide what to buy.

  • Furniture
  • Electronics
  • Home appliances
  • Toys and much more
  • Detailed product descriptions, specifications and prices

Argos still produces catalogues, though less frequently than before, having shifted much of its focus to digital channels such as its website and mobile app. The catalogue nonetheless remains part of the company's marketing strategy and continues to be distributed to homes in the UK and Ireland.

The Argos Website

Argos.co.uk is the official website of Argos, letting customers browse and purchase a wide range of products online, from furniture and electronics to home appliances. The site is well-designed and easy to navigate, with clear categories, a search bar, detailed product information and customer reviews to support informed buying decisions.

The website allows customers to check product stock both in-store and online, and offers a strong mobile-optimised version for browsing on the move. Delivery options include standard delivery, next-day delivery and click and collect, while a dedicated section highlights special offers and deals.

Discounts and Savings

Argos often provides discount codes that can offer a percentage or set amount off a purchase, available via its website and various online deal and coupon sites. The retailer also runs seasonal discounts, sale events and clearance sales, and operates a Clubcard loyalty programme through which customers can earn and redeem points.

Some discount codes carry restrictions, such as being valid only on certain products or for a limited time, so it is worth checking the terms and conditions, and confirming a code is still valid, before use.
