Our Story
From a niche e‑commerce pioneer to helping businesses grow online
More than twenty years ago, long before online shopping became the norm, Dustbag Ltd launched dustbag.co.uk — a specialist store dedicated to vacuum cleaner bags, filters, and accessories. It was a simple idea built on reliability, convenience, and a belief that even niche household essentials deserved a better buying experience.
In those early days of UK e‑commerce, everything was an experiment. We learned by doing — testing platforms, refining customer journeys, and trying every marketing method available. Over time, we discovered what truly works online and what’s just noise. That knowledge became the backbone of our longevity.
As our reputation grew, something interesting happened.
Businesses began reaching out to us — tradespeople, creatives, service providers, small retailers — all asking the same thing: “Can you help us get more customers online?”
We realised that many brilliant local businesses weren’t struggling because of their service. They were struggling because marketing had become too complex, too expensive, and too time‑consuming.
That insight sparked the idea for TipMyCo.
TipMyCo was created to give businesses a simple, effective way to attract new customers without needing to master digital marketing. No complicated campaigns. No guesswork. Just clear, high‑value digital vouchers promoted to people actively looking for services.
From a niche e‑commerce retailer to a platform helping businesses grow — our journey has always been about the same thing: Making online work better for everyone.
