Analyst Corner: The Cyclical vs. the Structural in UK DIY Retail coresight.com/research/analy…

#Zalando is targeting a 15% share of Europe’s fashion market over the long term, up from its prior long-term target of 10% and supported by its provision of multichannel fulfillment services to brands—an “operating system” for fashion e-commerce. $ZAL coresight.com/research/zalan…

Zara pulling in the shoppers this Black Friday with 40% off from a retailer that has traditionally discounted only twice a year. The busiest of the apparel stores we visited—packed with shoppers of all ages and merchandise looking well-rummaged.
Strength of M&S 1H results reflected in the comparison versus the long-term sales trend and representing market-share gains in grocery and apparel—womenswear achieving #1 market-share position over the summer. $MKS
Boots has really nailed this in-store experience thing.
Looking forward to attending #ShoptalkEurope next week—here's @CoresightNews's pick of the agenda across five major themes: coresight.com/featured/your-…
M&S the latest retailer to launch a premium paid-for loyalty tier, with Sparks Plus. Great perks, though an upfront 12-month commitment may deter some consumers.
Downbeat headlines on retail sales, but real-terms YoY declines in UK retail *eased* by 290 bps between Nov and Dec. Real YoY decline of 2.9% in Dec--the mildest decline since Mar--with volume growth turning positive in dept stores and apparel, and up in furniture.
Good to talk to CNBC’s Melissa Repko about @CoresightNews's store-openings data and the secular trends supporting the expansion of discount formats—we see millennial household formation and other structural shifts supporting a "discount-store decade." cnbc.com/2022/12/13/inf…
Alibaba Group concluded its 14th 11.11 Global Shopping Festival today, delivering results in line with last year's GMV performance despite macro challenges and Covid-related impact. Read more on Alizila. #Double11ShoppingFestival
Deepest real-terms yoy declines in UK retail sales for 30+ yrs (ex two lockdown months) unwind four years of growth—total *real* sales in Sep 2022 2.5% below Sep 2019, flat with Sep 2018.
🍎🍊🍌 @thrivemarket is rolling out a new rewards hub for members today. Its CEO tells me the company always strives to add "value beyond just the discount itself." New for @modernretail, feat. insights from @marypilecki, @BradJashinsky & @johnmercer: modernretail.co/marketing/some…
