According to Mastercard, UK online retail sales are up 72% year-on-year in May.
So, how is everyone finding your online/remote sales bearing up, versus total takings from previous months or quarters?
Thoughts and views very welcome...
With the news that shoppers were forming socially distancing queues yesterday as major retail outlets reopened their doors following lockdown, who's on board for a renewed focus on local #Huddersfield independent retailers?
DM us for details of how to join #TheVillage.
Interesting to hear people's views on online "direct-to-consumer" shopping, versus traditional face-to-face retailing.
Also, who else feels that discretionary retail spending is now much more about "shop local" and a quality experience, rather than "shop-til-you-drop"?
What our founder business members are saying about us:
"#TheVillage is a great platform to launch any new products, or to raise awareness of your business in general."
