Where Britain Shops 2009: Department Stores – Aarkstore Enterprise

Posted by aarkstore on September 24, 2009

The recession has given rise to more cautious consumers, changing the way they shop department stores and how they use them. Where Britain Shops 2009: Department Stores provides a comprehensive analysis of the shopping habits of UK department store shoppers. It presents a detailed examination of shopping by sector, customer profiles, demographics and socio-economic trends.

Scope

*A wide-ranging analysis of the way customers shop in department stores, complete with profiles of the following seven retailers:
*Debenhams, Fenwick, John Lewis, House of Fraser, Marks & Spencer Selfridges and TJ Hughes.
*In each of the 8 categories profiled the report provides a socio-economic breakdown of shoppers, analysis of competitors used and sector penetrations.
*For each profiled department store, this report provides a socio-economic breakdown of its customer base and cross sector shopping data.

Highlights

More shoppers are visiting department stores. 49.0% of all UK shoppers make regular purchases at department stores, the highest level it has been in the last nine years. The 3.3 percentage point increase on the previous year is the greatest uplift since 2003 and has partly been driven by more frequent, well advertised promotional days.

Men have also grown their share of all department store shoppers by 2.8 percentage points to 42.1%. The proportion of male department store shoppers has grown in five of the eight sectors, with the exception of clothing, footwear and personal care, highlighting the growing appeal of department stores across a broad range of sectors.

The sector where department stores have gained the greatest share of that sector’s shoppers is food & grocery. This has largely been achieved through Marks & Spencer offering more promotions on its food offer such as the ‘Dine for two for £10′ offer.

Reasons to Purchase

*Where Britain Shops is one of the most comprehensive studies of its kind, drawing on a nationwide survey of 6,000 shoppers each year.
*Verdict’s thorough understanding of retail issues enables us to interpret data from an informed viewpoint and explore the implications for retailers.
*With competition between department stores is more fierce than ever, understanding customer motivations for using them has never been more important.

UK Department Stores 2009 – Aarkstore Enterprise

Posted by aarkstore on July 10, 2009

The UK department store sector has been through a period of change since the millennium driven by exits and consolidation. It now faces further contraction as the non-food sector suffers during the recession. This report examines expenditure trends in the sector, the performance of the market leaders and highlights threats and opportunities available to drive future growth.

Scope

Consumer expenditure via department stores 1999-2009e, growth and inflation/deflation trends, store numbers, space and sales densities.
Market shares 2004-2009e, sales, space, operating profits and margin and sales and profit densities of Top Ten retailers in the sector.
Trading and space performance, with product allocation, of Top Ten department store operators, including analysis and outlook for each.

Highlights

The department store sector came to a virtual halt in 2008, with 0.1% growth. The core department store shopper, the 45+s saw their incomes cut by falling interest rates, and were hit by pension worries, declining house prices and fuel and food inflation. In 2009 we expect the market to be even tougher, falling -2.6% to £13.95bn.

In 2008 and 2009 together, the sector is set to increase its floorspace by 5.6%. This extra capacity is coming into a market with consumer demand in steep decline. As a result, average sales densities per square foot will decline by 5.7% in 2009 alone, to £353 per sq ft, putting operating profit margins under severe pressure.

Supermarkets are an increasing competitive threat to department stores. The expansion of their non-food ranges as well as the development of new formats, Internet retailing and higher quality products have the potential to take sales from midmarket operators. This is particularly true in a climate where customers are trading down.

Reasons to Purchase

Understand the issues that face the department store sector and the opportunities available for growth.
Discover how previous recessionary trends affect each sector and how retailers can exploit this.
Identify where the risks lie for the sector and individual operators.
