TOMORROW'S HIGH STREET FIGURES WILL BE HORRIFIC!!

ONLINE WILL BE TERRIFIC!!

Retailers across the UK are poised for a record day of seasonal sales as early data showed shoppers are spending more than they did before the pandemic. 

In spite of data that shows footfall in Britain's shopping centres is down 29.6 per cent compared to 2019, industry insiders say this year could be the UK's most lucrative Black Friday ever, with an average spend of £300 and fashion, electricals and health and beauty topping consumer spending this year

HUGE DAY TOMORROW!!!!

WAIT UNTIL MONDAY STATS COME OUT!! "Black Friday vs. Cyber Monday Statistics

Cyber Monday has grown to be equally popular with the surge of online retail. Retailers lure customers onto their e-commerce sites with timed deals and steep discounts on the Monday immediately following Black Friday. As it seems, Cyber Monday is rapidly starting to eclipse Black Friday in sales, as outlined in the following statistics."

==========

HIGH STREET FOOTFALL DOWN 28 PERCENT AND SPENDING UP 2.4 PERCENT ON 2019..... DO THE MATHS!!! ONLINE IS FLYING!!

"As of 12pm on Friday, visitors to the UK’s high streets were down by 27.8%, while footfall in Central London had fallen by 28%"

"Figures from Barclaycard — based on credit and debit card spending from midnight on Thursday to 5pm yesterday — showed the number of transactions up by 2.4 per cent compared with 2019"

Next isn't a growth business either - in the last 9 years revenue has grown about 12 percent.... It's market size has more or less peaked....

Wolf i disagree on next having a bigger addressable market..... In the last 2 year's with boohoo's acquisitions its addressable market is huge..... However it needs a bit of time to fully tap into it.... In 10 years boohoo group will dwarf next

Maybe start again without insults and explain your point with more context.....

Mervvv your post makes no sense.... Get back to cleaning windows with your tongue.

THESE STATS BELOW ARE ABOUT TO GET EVEN WORSE FOR THE HIGH STREET WITH THE NEW RESTRICTIONS ......

ONLINE ORDERS ARE GOING TO BE ABSOLUTELY INSANE!!

The below includes the biggest rising trends in UK consumer search behaviour this November. In other words, where we’ve seen a significant rise in Google searches around particular products in the lead up to Black Friday 2021. Throughout the month, the likes of Amazon, Argos, Currys and Boots have been in fairly high demand. Retailer-wise, we’ve also seen pretty high interest in PRETTY LITTLE THING, EE and Pandora.

Ammu - Bristol roads are dead today traffic wise - almost like semi lock down traffic.... People just aren't out shopping. High Street has been well and truly shunned.

ALL THIS CRAP BEING POSTED ABOUT CAPTIVE AUDIENCES AND LONDON BEING BUSY BLAH BLAH BLAH.....

READ THE FIGURES......

The figures show the UK is on track for shoppers to spend almost £9.2bn this weekend – 15% more than in 2020 – as predicted by analysts at GlobalData for the VoucherCodes Shopping for Christmas report.

Health and beauty specialist Boots said it had experienced its busiest hour of online trading all year on Friday morning, with three orders a second coming in.

CLOTHING SMASHING IT!!!

Better sales of clothing, leisure and sports items helped offset lower volumes of toys, electronics, technology and homeware, all of which have been affected by delays in supplies from the east and south-east Asia.

ONLINE BUSIER THAN 202O!!!

Despite online retailers’ fears of a slowdown after last year’s surge in internet sales prompted by high street store closures, the logistics technology group Metapack said it was on course to handle more parcels than on Black Friday 2020.

HIGH STREET TRAFFIC DOWN 27.8 PERCENT!!!

CENTRAL LONDON DOWN 30 PERCENT!!!

There is a good chance that the alarming news will make people stay at home to avoid crowds and any possible transmission of the disease.

"While that might shift some of the shopping to the online channel, it would be disastrous for pubs and restaurants hoping for a good weekend’s trading before we move into December."

HIGH STREET DYING ONLINE FLYING

As of 12pm on Friday, visitors to the UK’s high streets were down by 27.8%, while footfall in Central London had fallen by 28%. Most shopping centres had seen reductions in visitors of around 30%, according to data provided by Springboard, the analytics company.

Black Friday set to be a mixed bag with bumper sales but dismal high street turnout

Initial figures from payment providers on Friday afternoon suggested that 2021 was set to be a bumper year for shopping, even as physical shops continued to suffer, pointing to the continuing importance of online purchases.

customers had made 1.3m purchases by 9am, 24% up on last year, while noting that typically, the busiest times for shopping were at lunchtime and in the evening, after work.

But despite payment volumes surpassing pre-pandemic levels, footfall at the UK’s largest shopping destinations this year remained depressed when compared with 2019
