G10 Global Thriving As Retail Sales Continue To Fall Short

GLASGOW, March 2013 – While Direct Sales & Marketing specialists G10 Global produce positive sales results, recent figures show Scottish retail footfall in February well below UK average at -2.5% against an increase of 0.8% for rest of UK.

The low footfall rates for Scotland in February are a reflection of low levels of consumer confidence and lower levels of sales growth as the economic and trading environment remains fragile. Scottish retailers will be hoping that the arrival of spring and seasonal lifts from Mother's Day and Easter help to elevate this underwhelming figure into more positive territory in the coming months.

Commenting on the latest footfall figures, a Scottish Government spokesman said: "The Scottish Government wants to see thriving town centres and we are doing all we can to support the retail sector. We are introducing measures such as our Fresh Start scheme to bring empty properties back into use and our Town Centre Review is tackling some of the longstanding issues by working with local councils to put the life back into our high streets.”

George Kennedy, G10 Global’s Managing Director, has commented that the ability to keeps costs low and a steady increase in sales is what has enabled the company to flourish and why, in his eyes, more and more brands around the UK are exploring the avenue of direct sales as a way of increasing profits with little or no financial risk involved. “Direct Marketing offers a guaranteed return on any investment and in the current economic climate that is what brands need – more customers without having to take a risk.”

As a business mentor himself, Kennedy has often spoken of his support for recent government programs and funding aimed at encouraging young entrepreneurs to start their own business. “For me this industry is one that anyone looking for a long-term career and stability should look into” said Kennedy. “The fragility of the retail industry shows that consumer behaviour is fluctuating and so brands must find more creative ways of approaching their customers. That’s where we come in.”
