Name brands risk loss of faith

Article Abstract:

Clothes discounting during the recession has changed consumers' perceptions of value for money and top brands need to create demand rather than merely fulfil it when the economic situation improves. Prestigious companies who try to show that their prices are fair by refusing to reduce them lose customers. After the recession discerning customers will purchase clothes with individuality and spend in a more rational, considered way.

'Honest' shoppers steal, so do children. At Christmas the pressure is on for store detectives

Article Abstract:

There is always a strong rise in shoplifting and pickpocket offences in the pre-Christmas period. Crowded shops make it hard for staff to spot thefts, and thieves often work as gangs. They can be very well dressed, or even appear to be a normal family, thus making store detectives and police less suspicious. There are even cases where parents force children who are too young to be prosecuted to steal.

Honey, I've shopped the kids

Article Abstract:

Many large stores in the UK are now installing creche facilities, realising that this is a good way of attracting families. Parents have reacted very positively, welcoming the trend towards high quality childcare at reasonable prices. In the majority of cases, staff are well trained and security systems are of a high standard, which reassures parents about leaving their children there.
