Marks sets out its reopening plans post lockdown easing, and it also says people want to dress up as it has seen sales of dresses rise



"The retailer said that around two thirds of customers are “looking forward” to dressing up in smarter or more stylish clothes than they have worn in lockdown.

Online demand for dresses has steadily grown since the end of February and last week M&S saw search increases for sandals & sunglasses, with its “new in” womenswear page now the most visited on M&S.com."

QANTAS

I listened to Asos CEO on BBC and he said it took 3 weeks to buy Topshop and 3 weeks to relaunch.

It took weeks or even months for MARKS to aquire some of its new brands including Jaeger but even after purchase its still not relaunched, Jaeger isn't available at MARKS as yet online and this is after it said it would relauch about Easter.

Its not good enough.

[debsdowner] 08/4/2021 07:54

QANTAS yes it can be both.

In the meantime Asos has just released its results and in the last 6 months sales have risen a whacking 24%



ASOS and Boohoo sales both flying more and more people are shopping at both these online retailers.

Asos

Online fashion group Asos says its sales have grown by 24% in the past six months as it added one and a half million customers.

It now has 24.9 million customers, with more than seven million in the UK, where it makes most of its profits.

Profits for the six months to 28 February were £106.4m, up from £30.1m last year.

Asos said its integration of Topman and other Arcadia brands, which it bought in February, was "progressing to plan".

The company said it had achieved "record results driven by exceptional execution".

High Street shops will 'bounce back' on reopening day

[qantas] 07/4/2021 19:55

I think working from home is good and bad

[debsdowner] 07/4/2021 11:09

QANTAS

The closing down sale is a very sad end to Debenhams I have spent many an hour shoppping in the stores over a decade ago before the High Street declined.

Fenwicks is one of the few creditable premium retailers left



John Lewis, Selfridges and Harrods the other premium retailers, as for Ashleys Fraser Group its too early in the transformation for me to give an honest apraisal.

Will the government follow Chris Whitty's advice on obesity as it has on Covid?By Adam Leyland1 April 20212 min readSave article?He's tackled the pandemic. Now, as we start to emerge from lockdown, Professor Chris Whitty must tackle an epidemic. For Covid, substitute obesity, as Boris Johnson's top medical adviser prepares to take the reins at the PM's new Office for Health Promotion (OHP).It's the end of an era, but after eight years that saw PHE bombard the industry with hundreds of targets, while achieving precious little progress in the war on obesity, retailers and suppliers would be right to be wary about the new dawn with the good professor at the helm.....

More complaints for customers of BooHoo, a customer purchased an item from Karen Millen only to find a OASIS sticker been penned out and a considerable price difference:



The customer felt lied to, I suppose some of the complaints are other teething problems as they have to deal with stock issues as they rebrand and sell old stock off but its been badly dealt with.

I susoect some of the complaints valid where mamnagement have tried to deceive customers.

What if we could make peanuts that did not cause deadly allergic reactions, wheat that will not cause problems for those with coeliac disease, or make animals immune to devastating viruses?...
