“After getting off to a cracking start immediately after Christmas our clearance [sale] performance continued to be strong last week, resulting in an outstanding 23.6% on last year. This was despite horrendous weather conditions throughout the whole of the New Year period which did nothing to deter customers shopping with clicks or in bricks.”
