Footfall down 3.5% on last week: Experian FootFall commentary for 16 - 22 Jan

The 3.9% year on year drop in the UK National Index in week 3 is the Index’s third and largest negative performance this year. The 3.5% week-on-week drop for this Index is typical for this time of year as shoppers assess the impact of their seasonally accumulated debt. Shopping can get back on the agenda next week as many consumers receive their first pay packet of 2012.

In contrast, the Retail Park Index has seen a positive year on year performance each week this year, with shopping numbers up 4.9% in week 3 compared with the same week last year. This may indicate that increasingly, consumers are valuing the speed, convenience and easy parking associated with out of town shopping when picking up selected items.
