Even before the virus hit many “bricks and mortar” shops had been waging a losing battle and, as customers remain wary of crowds, predictions point to another bumper Christmas for ecommerce.

Town centres across the land enjoyed a short-lived upswing during August as shoppers made the most of better weather and the easing of restrictions. But footfall is still low, particularly in bigger cities – 31% of pre-lockdown levels in central London, 49% in Manchester and 52% in Birmingham1. Not just consumers but office staff are staying away as many heed the call to “work from home if you can”.
So, while everything about Christmas is likely to be a little different this year, we’re hoping that browsing and buying from your armchair may help remove some of the stress.
