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

Footfall rose across UK retail destinations in the last week of July. Most of the increase was a rebound from the significant drops on the Monday and Tuesday of the previous week when the UK experienced a heatwave.* The rail strike on 27 July led to a significant drop in footfall in Central London and other city centres around the UK, whilst footfall in market towns rose as employees worked from home.*

SUMMER

Summer continues to be celebrated across retail with bright, vibrant colours delivering a sun-soaked mood. The time of year also means that sale season is in full swing resulting in some windows not being particularly aspirational – some different approaches to execution have been included.

CSR

Sustainability and giving back to the community was once more visible across many brands and retailers. This trend has been at the forefront for the majority of the year, and we expect it to continue.
