January 16, 2024 David Finest Sports Cars
Autos, die keiner braucht, aber alle haben wollen
David Finest Sportscar wurde erst vor 7 Jahren von Benjamin David gegründet und hat sich in rekordverdächtiger Zeit zum größten freien Sportwagenhändler Norddeutschlands entwickelt. Das Autohaus zieht mit seinen gebrauchten PS-Raritäten sowie umfassender Porsche-Expertise auch internationale Kundschaft ins Autohaus nach Hamburg-Wandsbek.
Benjamin sagt dazu: “Es geht um die Autos, die überhaupt keiner braucht, aber die alle haben wollen. Um seltene Einhörner, die kurz auftauchen und dann wieder in den Sammlungen verschwinden”,
Doch nicht nur das kuratierte Angebot an seltenen Traumautos sowie eine leidenschaftliche Dienstleister-Mentalität machen den Erfolg des inzwischen 30-köpfigen Teams aus: Mit professionell geführten Social-Media-Kanälen und eigenen Events richtet sich der charismatische Gründer an die wachsende Sportwagen-Community. Er hat vor kurzem damit begonnen seinen eigenen Podcast zu launchen und seine Fangemeinde mit technischen Finessen und Geschichten über besondererSportwagen zu unterhalten.
Auf 2.000 Quadratmetern stehen rund 50 handverlesene Sportwagen , klassische Oldtimer und Raritäten. Wenn man auch nur einen kleinen Bezug zu Autos hat, wird man hier zum Fan und überlegt sich, wie man sich so ein schönes Stück kaufen kann.
Der Service umfasst eine hauseigene Meisterwerkstatt, Tuning-Manufaktur und
professionelle Fahrzeugeinlagerung. Und natürlich wird das gekaufte Fahrzeug auf Anhängern dorthin gebraucht, wo der Kunde es haben will und muss nicht durch das Hamburger Schmuddelwetter gefahren werden.
Wer sich bislang nur die Nase an der großen Schaufensterfront plattgedrückt hat, bekommt in dieser Episode ein paar Insights über den Automarkt und die steile Karriere von Benjamin , dessen Mut,Ausdauer und Verkaufsgeschick diesen Erfolg erst möglich gemacht haben.

Short version in English:
"Signa Holding is under pressure: declining sales in the shops, higher costs for construction and high interest rates make it necessary to change some things. In June, Signa Holding had once again promised financial support to the ailing e-commerce subsidiary Signa Sport UNit. With 150 million euros, both the operational business and necessary investments of the group should be secured until 2025. Previously, SSU had reported that sales in the second quarter had fallen by almost 24% to 195 million euros and the operating loss had increased to 59 million euros. At the same time, it was announced that the retailer Sport Check would also be sold to a competitor. Now Sports Direct parent Frasers wants to take over the omnichannel retailer.
The takeover should enable Frasers to expand its presence in Germany, one of the largest sports markets in Europe.
The 34-store retailer is said to have sales of around €350m. As part of Frasers, Sport Scheck is expected to benefit from the group's ""elevation strategy"", which has led to strong performance across the business through investment in shop concepts, digital capabilities and strengthened brand relationships, it said.
The closing of the transaction is subject to regulatory approval and is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2024. Signa is thus drawing a line under the Sport chapter."
On 15 October, amazon.de celebrates its 25th anniversary. To celebrate, the online retailer now reveals the 25 best-selling products in Germany. No. 1 is Adele 25, a music album; No. 2 to 5 are technical aids such as chargers, cables and FRitzbox, No. 6 is cat litter, No. 9 is the German Civil Code, No. 15 is Fifty Shades of Grey, several other books, No. 24 is Soda Stream glass bottles and No. 25 is batteries.
"The award was presented recently at the IGDS World Department Store Summit (WDSS) in Dubai.
Every two years the arward is presented by the International Group of Department Stores (IGDS). 45 members from 37 countries are represented with more than 1200 retail stores on five continents and a total turnover of 45 billion Euros.
As the winner, the KaDeWe Group with its three luxury department stores KaDeWe in Berlin, Alsterhaus in Hamburg and Oberpollinger in Munich received the award for the “Most Innovative Department Store in the World” for the first time.
In the other award category “World’s Best Team at a Department Store,” the Wine & Spirits team at KaDeWe in Berlin was voted one of the top three in the world, taking third place.
Thailand’s Central Group holds a 50.1 percent stake in the KaDeWe Group, while Austrian conglomerate Signa holds the remaining 49.9 percent. Expansions are due in the first quarter of 2025 with the Carsch store in Düsseldorf and the Lamarr in Vienna."
"“In the second quarter of 2023, Loewe was still in first place among the “hottest brands” that the online company Lyst regularly determines. Now the Spaniards have been dethroned by an Italian label:
1) MIU MIU -> With over 223 million views on TikTok and a campaign starring Emma Corrin, Ethel Cain and Zaya Wade, Miu Miu's fall-winter collection has had a strong impact on sales."""" The logo Cashmere cardigan was the second most searched product in the quarter. Searches for cardigans are up 44%,"" reports Lyst.
2) LOEWE
3) PRADA
4) BOTTEGA VENETA
5) VERSACE"""
International roll-out of Thomas Sabo´s new pop-up stores
The newly rolled-out pop-up concept is based on Charm Club, a community concept founded in April 2023.
The first locations of the completely redesigned pop-up stores were realized in the Alstertal shopping center in Hamburg and in the Pasing Arcaden in Munich. Further implementations will follow in the Shoppi Tivoli shopping center in Zurich as well as in the Spanish El Corte Ingles department stores nationwide. On the Spanish Costa Brava, in Barcelona and on Ibiza the implementations have already taken place.
In order to ensure the most flexible adaptation possible to the different sized spaces starting from 18 sq m, the focus is on a modular design of the furniture used. Presented are the latest products of the Charm designs, but activities for an extended brand experience, such as raffles or different marketing campaigns are also implemented.
Thomas Sabo, the company’s founder said in a statement, “With the new approach for the Charm Club, we are targeting the young audience and the clientele of tomorrow and implementing this with a completely new POS concept as well as various activities for our community.”"
"Saboteur recently opened in Manchester on New Cannon Street in the Arndale Centre, offering both the Fine Piercing and Petite Collections.
Further openings in the UK are planned in Leeds and Cambridge, according to Sabo.
The market launch initially only took place online in 2021, followed by stationary stores in Austria and Germany and an address in Paris last year.
For the UK launch, the company announced a poster campaign entitled ""Lend us your ears"", which will run alongside the opening in Manchester"
"""Clothing retailer Peek & Cloppenburg is expanding its presence in Eastern Europe, opening stores in Craiova, Romania, and Riga, Latvia.
The P&C store in Craiova is the first in the Romanian city and the ninth in the country overall, while the Riga store is the company's second, P&C announced Thursday. The stores are managed from Peek & Cloppenburg KG Vienna.Both stores are located in shopping centers, one in Domina Shopping Center in Riga and the other in the new Promenada Mall in Craiova. The store in Promenada Mall has a sales area of about 2800 square meters and offers more than 100 different brands on one floor.The store located in Latvian Riga is sized with about 1500 square meters."
"The opening of the new flagship store recently took place on Alte Schönhauser Straße in Berlin.
In addition to the iconic fragrances, make-up collections and new product lines such as leather goods, jewelry and accessories are offered in an area of around 95 sq m. Mastermind Ben Gorham, who founded Byredo in Stockholm in 2006, was also responsible for the interior. The store concept reflects the philosophy of the brand, every detail was personally curated by the Gorham to implement the interplay of materials and traditional craftsmanship in exquisite tension.
In 2022, the majority of the fragrance and beauty brand was acquired by the “House of Love Brands” Puig."
"Unleash Your Nature (UYN), part of the Italian sports and cycling goods manufacturer Trerè, is active in Germany with its subsidiary Tre Vertrieb GmbH for the stores and sales.
Following the launch of the first retail space in Zweibrücken Fashion Outlet, the rollout will continue in downtown Cologne, then Wolfsburg, Nuremberg and Düsseldorf. The company plans to open 40 stores in Germany by the end of 2024.
Currently, UYN is already represented at: KaDeWe in Berlin, Wöhrl in Nuremberg, McTrek Outdoor Sports and various Intersport partners.
Last year, wholesale sales amounted to around seven million euros."
"What do you immediately think of when it finally gets colder outside, you see the morning mist and the pumpkins are piling up in the vegetable department at the supermarket? exactly strong, full-bodied espresso with pumpkin pie sauce in foamed milk, garnished with autumnal pumpkin pie spices - cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves, in other words the PUMPKIN SPICE LATTE from Starbucks! So here are a few interesting facts about the company.
Sales: USD 32.2 billion
employees worldwide: 402,000
Number of Starbucks stores: 35,711"
Sales: USD 32.2 billion
Barbie, the well-known toy brand cherished by generations, has ventured into the metaverse in collaboration with Gamefam, a game developer. This partnership with Mattel, Barbie's parent company, aims to bring the beloved Barbie Dream House into the virtual world of Roblox. The result is an exciting new experience called "Barbie DreamHouse Tycoon" that invites users to immerse themselves in the enchanting Barbie universe, personalize their avatars and discover a range of Barbie-related fashion offerings.
louisvuitton’s latest luxe-offering is a home good like none other. Taking inspiration from the iconic Noé BB bag, the French luxury house solidifies the silhouette of the bag in the form of a porcelain vase. The ultra-luxe vase is rendered with the exact dimensions of the classic Noé BB handbag and captures details down to the soft folds of leather and canvas with an allover Monogram pattern.⁠
⁠
Those interested can find the vase available online for $2,390 USD, making it more expensive than the actual bag itself.⁠"
Totally un-shirted! The light blue lumberjack shirt that the national coach wore to the international match against the USA divides the nation. Not because the flannel overshirt is ugly, as tastes differ. But because of Julian Nagelsmann. He has already attracted attention with exalted styles in the past. "The exact look on Sandro Wagner or Jogi Löw - and people would have freaked out," wrote Annette Weber smugly in BILD (the umbrella line "Totally enthemd" was too good not to adopt). And because the original Van Laack costs 309.95 euros, the tabloid recommends its readers cheaper alternatives from Esprit, Hollister or C&A. This is probably not what the DFB outfitter had in mind. Especially since Julian Nagelsmann would have found alternatives at Van Laack, as a look at the range for the national team shows. I find it interesting that the first question after the international match was about Hamed. The American coach couldn't believe it. Nor could I, to be honest. Van Laack will be rubbing its hands with glee over this marketing.

October 09, 2023 Retailtalker x Ladage&Oelke
Mit Tradition und Moderne zum Erfolg
In dieser Folge geht es um das älteste Textilgeschäft in Hamburg, wahrscheinlich auch eines der ältesten in ganz Deutschland. Ladage&Oelke gibt es seit nahezu 180 Jahren, davon 175 Jahre an der gleichen Adresse auf Hamburg’s schicker Meile Am Neuen Wall.
Seit rund 3 Jahren ist Ladage&Oelke nun an einem neuen Standort vertreten und hat es geschafft alte Kunden mitzunehmen, sich vorsichtig und erfolgreich neuen Kunden anzunähern und die Transformation von einem Traditionsgeschäft zu einem modernen, englischem Kleidermagazin zu realisieren.
Wie beschreibt sich L&O auf seiner Website [www.ladage-oelke.de] selber? wir stellen uns den Herausforderungen der modernen Einzelhandelslandschaft mit einer zeitgemäßen Mischung aus unseren tradierten Werten wie Qualität, Understatement und persönliche Beratung – beheimatet in einem einzigartigen, modernen Hamburger Ladenlokal.
Ich spreche heute mit Thomas Wegmann, der mit seiner Frau Selma seit 2019 in 5 . Generation das Unternehmen leitet. Sie entstammt der Gründerfamilie und ist eine in der englischen Wolle gefärbte Fashionfachfrau, während Thomas aus dem Marketing kommend eine andere Sicht auf die Dinge eingebracht hat , die zusammen genau diese erfolgreiche Transformation ermöglichte.
Jetzt gibt es im Erdgeschoß ein Cafe bzw eine Bar mit einem Aussenbereich und Blick auf das Hamburger Rathaus. Hier werden die Kunden empfangen und auch über die integrierte Kasse verabschiedet. Der Bereich der Masskonfektion wurde ausgeweitet und hat einen schönen Platz mit Tageslicht im 1. Obergeschoss. Gleich daneben befindet sich der Barbershop und rundet das Service Angebot ab. Die bestehenden Kunden haben diesen Umzug mitgemacht, aber es ist auch gelungen neue jüngere Kunden anzusprechen.
Ladage&Oelke ist es gelungen trotz Corona und Energiekrise neue Mitarbeiter zu gewinnen, bei denen man auf Aus- und Weiterbildung, und Motivation durch Involvement setzt .Überraschend ist das 4 Tage Modell, welches sonst im Handel sehr selten vorzufinden ist. Allein diese Beschreibung ist schon hörenswert.
Die Kernkompetenz des Unternehmen ist die persönliche Beratung. Daher ist der Onlineshop auch sehr klein und wird in Zukunft auch nur wenige Artikel umfassen, die gewissermassen einmalig sind. Ware, die es woanders auch gäbe, ist keine Alternative für Ladage&Oelke.
Thomas Wegmann nutzt die Bekanntheit seines Unternehmens und den Vorteil seines Standortes, um sich auch deutlich zu äussern, was er vom Hamburger Senat erwartet. Er ist nicht immer zufrieden mit den Antworten, aber sich hanseatisch vornehm zurückzunehmen ist auch nicht seine Art.
Es lohnt sich Thomas Wegmann zuzuhören, denn auch andere Unternehmen, haben diese Transformation von einem traditionellen erfolgreichen analogen Unternehmen zu einem digitalen, Kunden und -Mitarbeiterorientiertem, modernem Unternehmen vor sich. Es erfordert Mut, auch mal eine andere Sicht auf die Dinge und natürlich Beharrlichkeit in der Umsetzung.
Die heutige Folge wird präsentiert vom VMG Nord. In diesem Einzelhandelsverband haben sich die mittleren und großen Fachgeschäfte und Filialunternehmen in innerstädtischen Lagen aus Norddeutschland zusammengeschlossen und werden durch kompetente Beratung unterstützt.
Also. Auf geht’s…

English short version:
A 2-digit decline in the fashion industry makes us sit up and take notice. Was it the warm autumn? Was it the strong previous year?was it the resurgent online trade? a little bit of each. what we do know: customers are holding back. More and more, more and more often. Even in online trade there was a decline to report. Less money to spend after the travel season, full wardrobes, nothing new in fashion and the price attacks of the discounters who sell quantities but don't produce a big receipt. Add to this not exactly inspiring trading places, as the next news item will show in a moment. But the truth is that this is just a snapshot. The average is a double-digit minus, but there are winners and losers.
he German Textile, Footwear and Leather Goods Trade Association (Handelsverband Textil Schuhe Lederwaren, BTE) has conducted a survey to find out what customers dislike most about shopping for clothing in the city centres. According to the survey, the consumers most frequently criticised the many empty shops, closely followed by the "poor condition of buildings and squares ('eyesores')" . . Almost half of the survey participants also complained about the "increasingly poor accessibility by car".Also high on the list of criticisms was the range of services in the city centres. For example, 45 percent of the respondents complained about "too many one-euro shops, junk shops", 37 percent disliked the "monotonous assortment of the fashion trade" and 33 percent the "not enough high-quality" gastronomy.Also high on the list of criticisms was the range of services in the city centres. For example, 45 percent of the respondents complained about "too many one-euro shops, junk shops", 37 percent disliked the "monotonous assortment of the fashion trade" and 33 percent the "not enough high-quality" gastronomy.The general condition of the city centres also met with criticism. Consumers complained about "too much rubbish and dirt" and "too little greenery". Another frequent complaint was the unreliable public transport system.
After 2 years at the NYSE, Signa Sports United announces its delisting, which shall become effective as of 31.12.2023.
The only German location of the French department store chain Galeries Lafayette will close at the end of 2024 after almost 30 years. The lease for the store on Friedrichstrasse in Berlin with property owner Tishman Speyer will not be extended. There are already advanced plans for a subsequent use: Berlin's Senator for Culture Joe Chialo would like to house the Central and Regional Library in the building. In 1996, the department store was one of only a few outside France to move into the building, designed by French architect Jean Nouvel, on Friedrichstrasse in Berlin.
Deichmann subsidiary onygo will close its 28 stores in Germany by August 2024 at the latest. This will affect 280 employees.
The entire building received a new facade color and now shines in new, beautiful splendor at Graben 22. Upon entering the luxury store, the mosaic floor in Hermès' characteristic colors of gray, beige and gold immediately catches the eye. A clear eye-catcher is the curved staircase that connects all three floors.
Bottega Veneta reopens upsized Boutique in Paris Avenue Montaigne on ca 750m2.
Introducing our Paris flagship store, located in the Le Marais neighborhood at 28 rue de Poitou, 75003.

The brand's wellness program kicked off in 2020 at the House of Rituals in Amsterdam, and a Mind Oasis opened in Antwerp a few weeks ago. Now, preparations for the opening in the French capital are in full swing for the October 12 opening, but other implementations are also on the agenda: Frankfurt am Main in Germany in 2023, Barcelona is scheduled to open in December 2023.

The world's first concept of its kind features a smaller but more targeted assortment. The aim is to appeal specifically to younger customers by not telling all the brand's stories, but those that are relevant to this target group. Athletes are addressed just as much as fashion influencers. In this new store concept, people are the focus of the shopping experience, not the products. The aim is also to spark the interest of people who are discovering the brand for the first time.
The company is now planning to roll out this brand identity, which has just been unveiled in London. The next store will be implemented in New Balance's hometown of Boston, Massachusetts, where the company's headquarters are located."

After more than two years of tests with recycled plastic bottles, the Danish company announced on Monday that it had found that this material did not reduce carbon emissions. We have tested hundreds and hundreds of materials. It was simply not possible to find such a material," Lego CEO Niels Christiansen told the Financial Times newspaper. .The difficulty was finding a material that was environmentally friendly but had the same colour, shine and sound as the oil-based original. Lego continues to research and does not give up.

Short English version:
Since Corona, it is well known that buying behaviour has changed. Some companies have succeeded in compensating for the decline in sales due to lower quantities by increasing prices. Tchibo has not succeeded. As already known, Tchibo has suffered a loss of € 167 m despite a turnover at the previous year's level. In the previous year, the company reported a profit of +€176m. The reason for the record loss was lower contribution margins as a result of "dramatically increased" costs for raw materials, energy and freight as well as disrupted supply chains. Coffee and cotton have become more expensive. At the same time, people were buying less promotional goods after the pandemic ended and it had not been possible to pass on the increased purchase prices. "We will put coffee more in the foreground in the future," the CEO told the "Handelsblatt" - but denied a complete change of course. What is now becoming known, however, are the plans for getting back on the road to success. The entire travel business will be discontinued after 25 years. The action principle with something new every week is a bit worn out and too many articles have already been seen 10 times. I have been lacking the creativity to attract customers for a long time.

Like many people, I love to grate Parmesan cheese not only over my pasta, but also to eat it as small pieces. If there's a little crunch from now on, it could be because you've bitten a microchip. To protect themselves from product piracy, manufacturers of Parmigano Reggiano are taking a new and unusual approach. Because real Parmesan is often counterfeited due to its high price, producers in Italy are now building new types of microchips into the cheese wheels. This makes it possible to prove the authenticity of the cheese and distinguish it from fakes. The microchips developed by the US company p-Chips are made of silicone and are smaller and more stable than the commercially available RFID chips. According to tests, they can survive a bath in stomach acid - for up to three weeks. According to the manufacturer, they can therefore be eaten without hesitation and are excreted again in the normal way. I'm curious to see if they get away with this stunt. In any case, I have no desire in future to consume all foodstuffs of original origin such as champagne, Frankfurt Green Sauce, Wiener Schnitzel, feta cheese, Parma ham, Irish whiskey and many other things with microchips. Later, they can scan my stomach contents and send me suitable advertising offers. No thanks…

"Temu is the internet's new discount store with bargain prices that rival dollar chains.
It's run as a marketplace where merchants mostly based in China sell directly to consumers.
Since its US launch in September, it has become the most downloaded app on Google and Apple. Temu is fast becoming the internet's local dollar store.
This Chinese-owned, but US-headquartered e-commerce platform, is run as a marketplace where sellers – who are predominantly based in China – sell products to customers in the US, Canada, Europe, and Australia. It consists of an app and website and has made waves in the US since its launch in September.
Its splashy marketing campaigns – including two 30-second spots at this year's Superbowl, which were estimated to cost $14 million – set out to convince shoppers that it's possible ""to shop like a billionaire"" even when you're penny-pinching.
And it seems to be working. Temu's app sped past Amazon, TikTok, and Instagram to reach the top of the download charts on both Apple and Google Pay, and its ultra-low prices have made it a prime target for social media ""haul"" videos where consumers are dubbing it the US' new version of the dollar store.

Tapestry acquires Versace, Michael Kors and Jimmy Choo
“The merger will create a new, strong global luxury house,” Tapestry chief executive Joanne Crevoiserat said.
U.S. luxury goods company Tapestry is acquiring Capri Holding for a total of $8.5 billion. The deal brings Tapestry’s brands, including Kate Spade and Stuart Weitzman, and Capri’s Jimmy Choo and Versace labels under one roof. The two companies have annual sales of more than $12 billion and adjusted operating profits of nearly $2 billion. Capri shareholders are being offered $57 per share by Tapestry – a premium of nearly 65 percent over the previous day’s closing price. Capri’s shares were trading at $54.90 in pre-market trading on Wall Street. The merger will also bring a $200 million reduction in ongoing costs over three years, according to Chief Financial Officer Scott Roe. The transaction is expected to close in 2024.
Tapestry – then known as Coach – acquired handbag maker Kate Spade in 2017 for $2.4 billion. That same year, Capri, formerly known as Michael Kors, acquired British shoe maker Jimmy Choo for $1.2 billion and a year later bought Versace for $2.2 billion.
The merger of the U.S. luxury brands is expected to give the company more power, as it is lagging behind the European luxury groups, above all LVMH, which owns 75 brands. Kering also recently made its presence felt by acquiring a 30 percent stake in the Valentino fashion label."
I have noticed that there are a lot of personnel changes in the retail sector and the fashion market during the summer months of 2023.

"""This year, 12 new locations are scheduled to open, confirms David Philipoom, managing director at Kik in the Netherlands.
Next year, in 2024, another 15 locations are to follow. These will be selected based on both population and frequency. 30,000-40,000 inhabitants is the ideal size, with preference given to areas with grocery and lifestyle shopping. In expensive shopping streets, kik is less likely to be found, local competition such as Zeeman or Kruidvat in the area is no obstacle.
For the expansion, they also came up with something new: The appearance was revised and adapted for this market. The Home Decor section will be given an additional space at the front of the store to attract customers' interest and provide an insight into the range."""
This flagship store shows the connection between design and technology, materials and contrasts in a wonderful way. In terms of color, the store appears very reduced, with the products in the foreground. What stands out is the luminous ceiling, part of the special lighting concept, which adds a colorful variety to the room.
Veja opens new store in Madrid. It is the fourth international store opening of the French brand.
"
The store is opened in one of the most famous shopping streets in Barcelona: Paseo de Gracia 77.

English short version:
Numerous luxury companies have published their results in the last 14 days. With a few exceptions, one can say: luxury is booming. Miu Miu +50%, Hermes 25.2%, LVMH 20%, Prada 18%. Moncler 24%, ZEgna and Todds at over 20%. On top of that, margins have increased significantly. Hermes 44% , LVMH 40.5%, Gucci, 35% Prada 22%, Moncler 19%. So there is real money being made. Only Gucci weakened with only 1% growth. But the big clean-up has already begun. Bosses out, new bosses on board. Fireworks of new collections in the pipeline. But that points the way to success. Creation, craftsmanship, pop-up stores that people talk about, digitalisation.
Yves Rocher is closing its shops. After many branches of Galeria Kaufhof, Reno and Goertz, the French cosmetics company is also saying goodbye to German city centres. "With its current business model, Yves Rocher is no longer able to operate sustainably and successfully," the company announced. The 140 shops are to be gradually closed in the coming months. Up to 9,000 shops will close their doors for good this year. In a normal pre-crisis year, this figure was 5,000," predicts the HDE. The obvious interpretation: the internet was simply slept through and not taken seriously. Among other things, this led to the company not reaching the younger target group. So once again the call to all retailers to look at the linking of their sales channels and not to hope that without changes the biggest inflation of the post-war period, the changed buying habits can be overcome by waiting. Look at the success of the luxury industry.

Fast Retailing is essentially the Uniqulo brand. Uniqulo has just announced its revenues up to Q3 and they are anything but bad.Fast Retailing exceeds plan with significant revenue and profit increases and achieves a record result.In the nine months to 31 May 2023, consolidated sales topped 13.7bn (+21.4% y-o-y) and operating profit rose to 2.12bn (+21.9%).Almost 50% of sales are made outside Japan.UNIQLO shops in the Southeast Asia, North America and Europe regions posted strong above-average results, with growth of 38%.China in particular grew strongly after the removal of all Corona restrictions.Unfortunately, the share of online sales was not reported.
Last week, Amazon Prime Days took place on 11 and 12 July.The first day of Prime Day was the best-selling day in Amazon's history, making this year's Prime Day the biggest Prime Day event ever.Over the course of the two-day Prime Day shopping event, Prime members worldwide bought more than 375 million items, saving more than $2.5 billion, Amazon said in its Prime Day evaluation. It is unknown what sales Amazon and the marketplace retailers achieved on Prime Day. According to an estimate by Adobe Analytics, however, it was 12.7 billion dollars in the USA alone, 6.1 per cent more than in the previous year.
In the entire shopping process - from product advertising to possible exchange - digital options now play an essential role for German consumers. Nevertheless, brick-and-mortar retail is still the most popular place to make purchases. This is the result of a recent study by the international auditing and consulting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), the results of which have just been published.34 percent of those surveyed said that they shop in stationary shops at least once a week. 23 percent used smartphones, 17 percent used a PC and 14 percent a tablet. Seven percent stated that they shop in virtual reality at least once a week. For many consumers, digital offers have become indispensable along the entire customer journey. Almost half of the participants in the study "often" or "almost always" use their smartphones to research products.What does this mean for retailers? it is clearly a matter of a close, seamless integration of all sales channels and the maximum integration of digital technologies. The customers are far enough along in their experience. The older ones, who make up the bulk of the population, are still partly behind, but the behaviour of the younger ones is decisive for the future. The so-called old are always imitating the young. So take heart!
