So here are the top 5 shopping apps every business traveller needs this holiday. You never know, it might just save your skin!

BUSINESS TRAVELLER SHOPPING APP #2: GROUPON
After settling into your new CorporateStays apartment you decide to check out the jacuzzi on the 11th floor. But you’ve only just started your holiday shopping, so while you’re unwinding, grab your phone and download the Groupon app.
Groupon is a great way to mix up your gift giving this holiday season. You’ll find fantastic deals on amazing restaurants, getaways, spa days, and even skydiving! So instead of giving another tie, give an experience that will never be forgotten, at an unbeatable price.

With Frank and Oak’s smartphone app, you can quickly find a few items of clothing that catch your eye, have them delivered to you, try them on, and keep what you like or return what you don’t.
