PG’s Retail Barometer survey deadline extended to 1pm on Friday, 10 January
As indie retailers finish totting up their Christmas takings, stay in the mood by voicing your opinions on 2024 as a whole in the annual PG Independent Retail Barometer survey – and the deadline for participating has been extended to 1pm on Friday, 10 January.
The extra couple of days gives everyone a chance to submit their views in the survey as PG wants to hear from every independent retailer who sells cards so an accurate picture can be painted of trade throughout 2024, what product areas were on the up, what’s been the biggest dampener to business, and hunches for the year ahead.
With many indies relaying that Christmas card sales have been bucking the retail trend over the festive period: “Is that the experience in your store” asked Jakki Brown, managing director of Max Publishing which owns Progressive Greetings and PG Buzz.net and runs the annual survey.
“Singles sales appear to have been increasing as people deliberately search out that special design to send to loved ones, and we want to know if that’s true across the board over Christmas as well has how cardies have been trading over the whole year.”
The survey can be completed within 12 minutes, or saved in sections so retailers can stop and start if they so wish. Respondents just need to be sure to access the link using the same device, however, all answers are final once they click done.
Whatever your business experience over the past year, all views count – and remember, every individual submission remains confidential. So, if you’re an independent retailer please do participate in this significant survey by clicking here and completing your answers by the extended deadline of 1pm on Friday, 10 January.
