What the retailers had to say about June 2015:
“Overall June was a pretty good month for me in terms of sales, I was 12.5% up on last June, and with this great weather. Long may it continue. Customers are already making inquiries about when to buy for back to School, so it shows positive signs for sales to come.” Marie Sauka, Marie’s Shoes, East Barnet..
“Trade in June was slow, weather did not help as summer merchandise was only required by those going to Spain or Portugal. It will be Very difficult to place orders for SS16 as it is next to impossible to predict trends/weather/demand for next May.Any soothsayers in the shoe trade ???” Bernard O’Brien, LUKE O’BRIEN SHOES, Tuam, Co. Galway, Eire.
“June completed a hat trick of record months. Skechers continued to fly out of the shop along with increases from DB Shoes and Josef Seibel.” Steve White
White & Son Shoes, Sidmouth.
“Ladies Skechers Go Walk still a massive seller, we are only small but do not have a day we don’t sell a pair. Also, the kids are buying the washable trainers from Skechers we have had to double our original order. Girls sandals have been Ricosta. Boys Lea Lelo. We spoke to a magazine that wanted us to advertise with the, but we refused on the grounds when they do any fashion items or children’s they advertise purchase in one of the Giants, but the little people are the ones that need the support.” Michelle Lane, Soles with Heart, West Malling, Kent
