Exciting News for November! 🎉 In a positive turnaround, sales across UK towns and cities saw an annual increase of +1% in November 2024 compared to the previous year. This is a significant improvement from November 2023, which experienced a -2.2% decline from the year before. Notably, November was the first month since March to surpass sales from the same month in 2023. Despite a challenging year, this growth was driven by a +1.9% rise in average transaction value, even as customer numbers slightly declined by -2.3%.

📢 NOVEMBER 2024 BEAUCLAIR TOWN & CITY CENTRE SPENDING INSIGHTS. Sales across UK towns and cities during November rose annually by 1% from November 2023. Significant improvement on November last year when sales were -2.2% lower than in November 2022. November was also the first month since March in which sales were higher than the same month in 2023. Early indications suggest that Black Friday was successful – with increased sales and footfall from Black Friday last year. As has been the case in previous months during 2024, it was an increase in the average transaction value (ATV) that supported sales whilst customer numbers declined; the ATV rose by +1.9% annually in November, whilst both the number of customers and the number of transactions were lower than in November 2023 (-2.3% and -0.9% respectively). Indeed, this is substantiated by data on footfall into high street stores, which was -3.7% below the November 2023 level (Sensormatic). The performance of the 5 dominant retail sectors (Fashion, Food & Drink, General Retail, Grocery and Health & Beauty) diverges. The priorities for shoppers during November continued to be Food & Drink and Health & Beauty, both of which recorded annual increases in sales (+3.0% and +0.5% respectively). Of the other three sectors, Fashion was the poorest performer with an annual drop in sales during November of -3.2%. General Retail and Grocery suffered smaller monthly sales decreases of -0.1% and –1.4%, respectively. The more positive result for November, together with a weak comparable in December 2023 (-3.7% year on year), provides a good omen for what is the most critical trading month of the year for many town centres. However, with a clear polarisation in shoppers’ priorities away from fashion and towards experience and self-care, the success of a town centre will more than ever hinge on making sure that its offer matches the requirements of its individual catchment area.
