RETAIL EYE - TRENDS IN RETAIL AND POS

Every month we capture what is happening in retail – understanding key themes and trends for POS.  This snapshot guide helps to bring the high street to your desk monthly.

FOOTFALL

The British Retail Consortium’s (BRC’s) latest general retail footfall figures show a decline of 0.4% in July compared with June. There is a bigger fall of 28% if you compare July this year with July two years ago, pre-pandemic. The BRC also reported that the last week of July did see a turnaround in footfall, which could mean things will get better for general retail from now on.

CSR

Once more many brands and retailers were communicating how they are driving their sustainability agenda and working with charities to help to give back. Simple’s ‘kindness’ campaign was interesting as it encouraged shoppers to get involved and share stories.

SUMMER

The excitement of restrictions easing was still visible across the high street. Brands and retailers focused on people coming together to socialise and share events and occasions.
