Beating the Credit Crunch with SelectSpecs.com
By James (SelectSpecs) - November 17, 2008Doom and gloom is the order of the day if what we read in the media is anything to go by with thousands of employees being made redundant week in week out, however, we at SelectSpecs.com are feeling upbeat at the moment after reading articles with great interest that report Opticians as being one of the least likely out of eight retail categories that will suffer a decline in sales caused by the current economic downturn! This is hardly surprising really when you consider many of our customers that wear glasses wear them out of necessity rather than fashion.
Findings of The Wanted Ads Retail study of over 1,000 respondents commissioned by the Newspaper Society revealed that less than a quarter (24 percent) of consumers are tightening their belts on spending on opticians. 29 percent are cutting back on toys, 39 percent are slashing their DIY or gardening budgets, and 41 percent are reining in their spending on furniture. The survey also revealed that Clothing and Fashion is set to experience the most severe slowdown with 61 percent of respondents stating that they were cutting spending in this category.
