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

According to BRC-Sensormatic, total UK footfall dropped by 2.1% year-on-year over the month from 5th July to 1st August as the hot weather put people off shopping trips. Whilst this is an improvement on June’s -3.4%, the broader trend remains weak, with BRC-Sensormatic reporting that six of the first seven months of 2026 have performed worse than the same period last year.

SUMMER

Summer campaigns continued across the high street, alongside promotions capitalising on the many sporting events taking place throughout July.

SALE

The high street was dominated by Sale signage as retailers and brands encouraged shoppers to hunt out a bargain.
