Geoff’sView
“When the going gets tough, the tough get going”
Wild newspaper claims that Christmas trading was the worst since records began in 1988 werebased on a misreading of the ONS Press Release. Nevertheless, the error reflects the increasingstraws in the wind that signify already difficult retail trading conditions are set to get worse. Therate of monthly sales increases has been falling since August 2010; snow disrupted trading in twoseparate weeks in December, reducing sales by an estimated 2% to 4%; the number of retailbusinesses in financial difficulties in Q4 2010 showed the first increase since the dark days of2009; tax increases, Government austerity measures and uncertainty about the implementation ofradical changes, increasing unemployment, already above 20% in the key 16 to 25 year old group,rising commodity and utility prices compounded by a 25% devaluation of sterling since 2007; a
sufficient list to indicate that the going is certainly getting tough.
How then do the tough get going? I am reminded of the two explorers who came face to face withan angry tiger. One of them immediately started to run away. “You can‟t out -run a tiger!” said theother. “No, but I can run faster than you.” In no likely economic scenario will consumers stopshopping altogether. The challenge is to ensure that they shop in your shopping centre or parkrather than with your competitors.
It is now received wisdom that physical stores can compete effectively with digital stores byoffering a satisfying and enjoyable experience to their shoppers. This requires a thoroughunderstanding of your particular shoppers and their needs and aspirations. Delivering a good
shopping experience depends on the centre providing a conducive environment and the retailerproviding the merchandise and customer service. A degree of mutual inter-dependence isrequired. This is where the tough are heading – towards using their resources to maximise theirown performance by maximising the sales of their retailers.
With kind regards
