Which big brand retailers will dominate the online market this year?

Shopper Discounts & Rewards looks at the big players

The world of eCommerce can be a difficult market, but there are some retailers who are doing a great job at making our shopping experiences easy. Here’s just a few of them!

Argos is great for click-and-collect

Argos reports that nearly 50% of all their sales are now online, and this is no surprise with its “click & reserve” option becoming so popular. Argos has a mobile-compatible, easy to use website, making it one of our top picks for shopping on the move. The flexibility offered by its “click & reserve option” is another great benefit.

Burberry has fantastic online design

Burberry offers one of the best eCommerce sites out there, and reported big rises in revenue in 2013. Net-a-Porter, the high-end online store, led the way by offering luxury goods online, but Burberry has taken it one step further by providing their customers with “click-and-collect”. Burberry experienced increased usage of this service in December 2013, and Burberry’s digital offering is now more successful than ever.

Amazon is always good for a bargain

One of the first success stories in the world of online shopping, Amazon started by offering us books, CDs and DVDs at reduced prices and with a number of delivery options, it transformed the retail market. This continued to be the case last Christmas, with Amazon starting its sales before Christmas. Offering up to 40% discount in the week before Christmas is nearly unheard of, as this is typically the strongest retail week of the year. However, Amazon won the hearts of Christmas shoppers everywhere!

Tesco leads the way in online food shopping

Leading the way in online food shopping, Tesco‘s eCommerce site may offer products that would be sold-out in store. Tesco’s online sales rose by 14% in 2013, and as they plan to open more dark stores, their offering will become more impressive and efficient. Tesco has fun features on the website too, including ‘Cooking with Kids’ (click on image).

British Home Stores to Challenge the Big Four Supermarkets with BHS Food

Shopper Discounts & Rewards looks at BHS food

Department store chain BHS has announced this week that it is to pilot a food selling scheme, starting with its stores in Staines and Warrington. This could spell out some stiff competition for other supermarkets, as BHS has vowed that its produce will be up to 10% cheaper than the “big four” – Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Asda and Morrison’s.

BHS food store comes to Staines

The first food store will open this week in Staines, closely followed by Warrington at the beginning of April, selling branded foods including bread, cakes, fizzy drinks and some frozen items. struggling to recover BHS has actually been facing a fair amount of difficulty in recent years – making losses and struggling against rivals such as Debenhams and Marks & Spencer. Its move into competitive food retailing, is therefore arguably, a bold one.

BHS takes on the big four

By taking on the big four with competitive pricing, BHS could be set to change the supermarket landscape. And of course, Sir Phillip Green’s big objective is to turn around the fortunes of the company, which posted a pre-tax loss of £71 million last year. how does the future look? With a view to the future, if everything goes well, the plan is for around 10 of large BHS stores to be dedicated solely to food halls. And although certain industry analysts are sceptical about the extent to which BHS could impact the market alone, there is potential for other big players to enter into deals with Sir Phillip in order to join forces in the price fight. Do you think BHS could put up a fight against the other big supermarkets? Is price the most important factor for you when shopping for food?

BHS on YouTube

Ok so they are yet to produce a video about BHS Food, but they have posted this fun video to launch their lighting sale event:

Which Retailers Fooled You Today?

Shopper Discounts and Rewards brings you April Fools!

The UK national newspapers got in on the fun of pulling the nation’s leg by publishing some phony stories this morning. And many retailers got a piece of the action too! Here are some of our favourite April Fool’s pranks by retailers.

a bling-bling bathtub

Better Bathrooms claimed that they were rolling out a limited edition crystal bath made from more than 67,000 1-carat diamonds this morning. Priced at £382m, a phony spokesperson was quoted saying:

“It’s the ultimate bath which oozes Hollywood glamour. The great thing about this irreplaceable item is that no one else will have one.”

world’s biggest (and most inefficient) tablet

Ocado boasted that the sLablet has a whopping one hour of battery life, and only needs to be charged for 19 hours, and is just 20cm deep! This big fat tablet also has a great camera:

“The next generation 12 MP HD camera features image stabilisation so muscle spasms induced by holding the sLablet don’t ruin users’ selfies” “We saw a 42″ gap in the tablet market”

Ocado wasn’t the only one to play around with a tablet joke – Tesco announced the Cudl “tablet for two”, a play on it’s home brand tablet the Hudl.

toast worth toasting to

Have you ever dropped a piece of toast? And do you find that it always lands butter-side-down? To mark 1st April Sainsbury unveiled an ingenious solution to this common woe of mankind – “butter-side-up-bread”!

We’re sure consumers are waiting with baited breath for this product to hit the shelves!

Fashion sales did better in March than expected, as retail sector shows resilience

Easter falls slightly later this year than it usually does. This meant that many expected the retail sector to suffer as a consequence. However, figures just announced by the British Retail Consortium (BRC) and KPMG suggest that the sector actually performed much better than expected in March. There was a decline in retail sales, but this decline was much softer than what was expected. Today, the Shopper Discounts and Rewards blog looks at more on this subject.

The Spring/Summer 2014 Collection at London Fashion Week

good weather boosts fashion sales

It’s thought that one of the key influential factors in this was the weather. The mild weather in March encouraged many people to shop for spring and summer wardrobes. It is these fashion buys that drove retail performance most strongly. Items such as women’s ballet pumps and summer dresses did particularly well. It was lucky, then, that the good weather coincided with the launch of many new seasonal ranges in shops!

Helen Dickinson, Director General of the British Retail Consortium, said:

“Retailers have worked hard to create popular new collections, and have been rewarded with strong demand for women’s clothing and footwear in particular. This improves on the slow start to the season last year when shoppers were more reluctant to spruce up their wardrobes.”

late bank holiday put people off DIY in March

There were some sectors of retail that actually performed lower than hoped. For example, an area that is normally expected to do very well in March is that of household and furniture – but this is usually because of the Easter bank holiday weekend. The bank holiday weekend did not fall in March this year, which is why household, furniture and DIY items showed a slightly weaker performance in March than expected. But perhaps it will pick up in April! Webloyalty recently revealed our Easter plans:

Discount fashion retailer Primark announces store opening in the US

an exciting week for Primark

It’s an exciting time for Associated British Foods, the owner of the retail chain, as they announce the launch of Primark in the US. As reported on the BBC website, Primark owner Associated British Foods said half-year operating profits at its retail operations, which include Primark, rose 26% to £298m.

the first store will be in Boston

Plans are underway to open the first US Primark stores in Boston, Massachusetts. The Retail Bulletin reported that Primark has signed a lease for 70,000 sq ft of selling space in the city’s Burnham Building, which was previously home to the famous Filene’s Department Store.

Following these store openings, negotiations are under way to open further stores in the north east through to the middle of 2016. These new US stores will be supported by warehousing in the region.

Primark said it had decided to take its discount fashion offering to the US after “extensive research”.

Retail parks came out top for Easter footfall this year! Shopper Discounts and Rewards tells you more.

new footfall figures

Did you go shopping over the Easter weekend? New figures released this week suggest that if you did you were most likely shopping at a retail park! The figures illustrate that retails parks came out as winners in the retail sector over the Easter weekend, with higher footfall of shoppers than other retail spaces such as the high street or shopping centres.

Monday was the best day for shopping

The figures were released by retail performance insights firm Springboard. They found that over footfall in the retail sector dropped by 1% and 1.9% on Good Friday and Easter Saturday respectively. However, footfall until 1.00pm on Easter Monday saw an increase of 22.9%. On the high street specifically, the last day of the Bank Holiday weekend saw footfall boosted by 10.2%. For shopping centres the picture improved on Monday in comparison with Saturday and Sunday, when footfall grew by 7.1%.

Diane Wehrle, Marketing and Insights Director at Springboard, said this week, looking back on the weekend:

“Monday is the last day to enjoy shopping and make a day of it before the bank holiday ends, and calm weather has encouraged people to head out for last-minute spending.” 

high performance in London’s West End

Shopping numbers in London’s West End have also been performing well during the Easter period, rising 2.4% this March compared to year, outperforming the UK average, reported the New West End Company, which represents 600 retailers.

Chief Executive Richard Dickinson at New West End Company said:

“Our strong sales and footfall performance in March is proof that our retailers have been working hard to attract shoppers to the West End, with promotions and special activities up and down the district.”
