RE: UK retail sales fall for 3rd month, CBI says27 Aug 2024 21:05
Seems both june and july have been strong this year for online
"Total in-store and online retail sales grew by +3.2% in June, marking the strongest sales growth since August 2023, according to new data from BDO’s High Street Sales Tracker.
This is the second successive positive month for total retail sales, following five months of negative results. However, BDO’s data, which analyses sales across discretionary spend categories, highlights that this growth was primarily driven by online sales, which grew +9.8%, as in-store sales recorded a poor performance of just +1.8%. "
---------
The amount spent online, known as “online spending values”, rose by 2.5% during July 2024, and by 3.6%, compared with July 2023. Total spend, the sum of in-store and online sales, rose by a more moderate 0.7% over the month.Aug 16, 2024
