High street shopping faces a double whammy, states Netvouchercodes

April 12, 2011 - PRLog -- Massive out of town retail parks attract families with free parking & fast food outlets and about 11% of  High Street retail sales are transacted online meaning fewer shops are needed. Certainly High St retailers face a double whammy of lower consumer spending and increasing business rates squeezing their margins, little wonder that many see their online presence promoted through http://www.netvouchercodes.co.uk as vital to their future success.

With lower sales costs retailers are in a position to offer discounts to get your business by supplying voucher codes, sometimes known as promotional codes, at the point of sale. UK shoppers refuse to pay over the odds for anything, everybody likes a bargain and by logging on to Netvouchercodes first you’ll find all the latest deals on a site dedicated to saving you money. Specialist stores & niche retailers, those that are giving customers what they really want, continue to thrive in this modern retailing environment.

A long term change in shopping habits is emerging, says Steve Barnes, Managing Director of Netvouchercodes and the continuing rise of the Internet will be one of the factors forcing through a huge restructuring of the High St over the next few years. Amongst many changes ‘Click & Collect’ is one of the services we will see offered more by those stores that retain a showroom presence on the High Street, so it’s quite likely that it’s not the end of our High Streets, just the start of something new!
