We defintely ran to fill up our baskets

In the first half of November (November 1-13), we spent 4.1% more in the online checkout store circle, which does not include the web store, a year earlier. In the period since the 10% fall in April, the world of shopkeepers has not jumped that much.

Online checkout revenues are current price data, so the more subdued price increase and the growth of online stores must be taken into account. The all-month Black Friday series, from which parrots can also learn, along with the caution of the epidemic, will obviously throw a bigger one on the November scales. But a lot of Black Friday pushes even traditional stores up, as the customer likes to pay at the checkout as well (most of their money goes there), it’s an experience at its best and you can move out. and more and more traditional stores are joining the Black Friday series, which, by the way, is really about gaining market share: who doesn’t step in at the same time. does not get a customer for the evening.

This doesn’t require much explanation, masks, antibacterial disinfectants and vitamins run out nicely, and obviously a variety of medications as well. This is already a speculation, as it is approaching the 1.5-fold jump in March.

Among industrial goods, the big loser in November was the trade in cultural and leisure goods, with a 20% minus. This means areas like books, games, sports equipment. Previously, telecommunication technology was highlighted by weekly monitor statistics, with larger drops of 30%, but now it does not indicate this. Obviously, the housewives trust that they won’t close these stores, it’s worth buying the gifts there.

There is a 7.1% loss of revenue from fuels, despite higher traffic due to free parking.

Estimating the value of spending in October and November, including the expected web purchases in the statistics and the increase in store prices, the following picture emerges of the shop world:
