Network defies Brexit blues with enquiry upturn
6th September 2016

The majority of the industry may be poised for a dip in consumer spend in the wake of the Brexit vote but the CONSERVATORY OUTLET and its network retail partners have seen a definite upturn in raw retail enquiries.

In the six weeks since the Brexit decision, the daily monitoring of raw retail enquiries has demonstrated an average increase of 18% across the network from 2015 to 2016, and on some specific days the total enquiry figures were more than twice the number of the previous year.

Conservatory Outlet Joint Managing Director Greg Kane explained, “We began to closely track enquiries on a daily basis across the network after the news of Brexit. Although always monitored, we were keen to get a detailed picture of the impact the decision would have in the world of retail.

“At first glimpse it appears that the marketing work from our Conservatory Outlet installers are helping to persuade clients to continue along the ‘don’t move – improve’ approach in response to the news, and subsequently network statistics are still looking to stay on a positive trend.”
