A few words from Douglas Low, CEO OF Incu, and his experience with tRS.

Another month of healthy growth with Like-for-Like (LFL) sales UP 3% against last year. Crucially, the growth is being driven by volume: units sales saw a pleasant 2.1% increase, with the # of transactions soaring 3.2%. This surge in customer visits is the primary growth driver, despite a slight dip in Average Transaction Value (ATV) of 0.2%. We're also seeing more promotional activity, with Discounts UP 3.7%, but Gross Profit $ is UP 4.6% and Gross Profit % is up a full 1 percentage point! Tune into this month's episode of The Retail Scoreboard to learn about the nuances behind these figures and what this means for your retail strategy.
