Shoppers: 'We want more High Street electrical stores'
SHOPPERS in Royston are calling for more high street names, a Mercury survey has revealed. More than half of those quizzed are longing for well-known clothes stores such as Marks & Spencer, River Island and d2 to hit the town.
Some 44 per cent want entertainment or electrical stores such as Currys, Dixons, HMV and Game to set up in the town centre. An alarming 28 per cent said they hardly ever shop in stores in Royston.This is further evidence that independent traders' well-documented fears about staying in business are justified. A further 40 per cent hardly ever eat out or go for drinks in the town, despite the town's numerous pubs and restaurants.
Competition is increasing, as Cambridge and Stevenage attract Royston people with their trendy shops, cafes and restaurants. Of those shoppers surveyed, 1 in 10 said they would travel nearly 60 miles to out-of-town shopping complex Lakeside, in Thurrock, or nearby Bluewater.
Marks and Spencer Stores to sell consumer electronics
Marks and Spencer is to start selling consumer electrical appliances and electronic gadgets from the middle of this month.
The retailer said it would sell branded products such as Sony, Nokia and Samsung phones, TVs and DVD players, as well as a range of solely M&S branded devices. It will also offer an aftercare service and have in-store help desks for its customers, with sales staff trained in demystifying the latest electrical technologies.
The latest announcement follows an extended trial selling home technology in some M&S electrical stores which started last October. The company said it had identified a gap in the market for a service that helped ease the confusion many consumers feel when faced with the myriad gadgets and different technical specifications available.
Research commissioned by the company revealed that one in five people who own an electronic item do not know many of the common technical terms, such as PDA, mp3 or HDTV used in the home electronics and electrical industry. It also found that many people do not know how to use all the functions that come with the devices they buy; nearly five out of 10 people admitted they had to get friends or family to help them operate even the simplest features of a gadget they have bought.
The survey for the store concluded that this helped to contribute to the fact that six out of 10 people hated shopping for electrical appliances and electronic devices.
In total, 13 technology departments will be opened in stores around the country. The company said it will also increase the number of electrical stores offering its existing electrical appliance technology range, such as DVD players and microwaves, from 58 to 85. Many of the products will also be available to online customers through their online electrical store. |
