An interesting read - very thankful to all the essential delivery drivers out there https://t.co/xvu7vhgv9h

I spoke to @Karen_Hoggan @BBCBusiness about @newlook’s latest results and how it must focus its efforts on capturing 25-34 year old shoppers, instead of trying to lure away millennials that have become loyal to online pureplays @ASOS and @boohoo https://t.co/lfoGjXcKl6

.@boohoo has added another celebrity endorsed range to its roster announcing a 70 piece collection in collaboration with Paris Hilton, launching June 20. A definite nod to the noughties trend from the popular fast fashion retailer! #Thatshot #Fastfashion #ParisHilton #Boohoo

#Amazon has won a hat trick of #GlobalData Customer Satisfaction awards, including the most prestigious Best Retailer category, as shoppers vote for its great prices, service and convenience. https://t.co/98LKCiMCSx

I spoke to @alys_key @CityAM about @houseoffraser's latest announcement https://t.co/AFXzUQYXui

Another retail #CVA, but new investment could lead to @houseoffraser recovery. Read my thoughts here: https://t.co/QaEj7GI0hr

[Charlotte Pearce @char_retailing]

.@boohoo, like @ASOS, has launched a #visualsearch technology function allowing shoppers to search products using screenshots and photos, though this doesn’t seem to be available on the app yet. @boohoo & @ASOS are really tapping into consumer behaviour. Plus, it actually works.

.@Carpetright’s pain stems from its competition. Read @emily_gdretail’s comments in our latest press release https://t.co/MXGYPYkSHV

.@cosstores’s £6 standard UK delivery charge is a bit pricey, albeit quick (2-3 working days). In comparison, @thisiswhistles’s standard UK delivery is free and takes 3-5 days and UK next weekday is £6. Can’t even click & collect @cosstores so no alternative for shoppers

So many people waiting for the opening of @newlook’s new store on Oxford Street... Although at least 75% of those waiting were staff

[Charlotte Pearce @char_retailing]

@soult @whatbutlersaw @newlook @hm @Primark Far too many second and third tier stores in high street locations which are small, haven’t been invested in, have little visual merchandising and carry a narrow product range - they make for an inconsistent brand image and need to be culled

[Charlotte Pearce @char_retailing]

No surprise that @newlook’s CVA was voted for by 98% of its creditors but closing just 10% of its stores is not enough - the retailer must make its store base more comparable to the likes of @hm and @Primark and ensure that it has the right stores in the right locations

[Charlotte Pearce @char_retailing]

@SandersonJim They’re closing about 16 menswear stores as part of the CVA signalling this really hasn’t worked quite as well as they’d hoped

[Patrick O'Brien @pat_gdretail]

A terrible day for retail investors: of 50 UK listed retailers, 41 fell, just 9 increased, 1 no change (suspended). Mothercare biggest gainer thanks to breathing space given by lenders. Moss Bros biggest loser after profit warning
