Always time for a bargain?

Primark’s increased sales show that consumers ARE prepared to get their money out of their pockets – as long as they see they’re getting a good deal.

In a heartening sign for those of us looking for signs of growth in the current market, the discount retailer reported a like for like sales growth of 5% in the last six months.

At Greenshootsblog.com, we take pains to point out that just because times are tough, doesn’t mean that business stops. In fact there are some for whom it’s positively booming. The challenge, it would seem, is to show the cautious consumer that they’re getting a good deal. Easier when you’re offering the lowest prices, admittedly, but there are plenty of other brands doing well at all levels of pricing. And we’ll keep sharing them with you.
