His comment on commercial traffic in the markets of Attica
“The transactions of the last three days at the cash registers of commercial stores have increased by 10-12% compared to last year, with the estimated number exceeding 3 million purchases and the weekly turnover of retail sales of 300 million euros… At first estimate, the average value of the receipt of around 100 euros since last year, at least for 1 in 4 consumers”. This is what the president of the Regional Chamber Council of Attica and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Piraeus, Vassilis Korkidis, notes in his statement regarding the commercial movement in the markets of Attica:
In particular, the president stated: “The abolition of the autumn intermediate sales worked positively for the period of Black Friday offers in the markets of Attica, thus attracting the interest of consumers more than any previous year, since it actually brought an attractive sales period of a few days instead of at the beginning, at the end of the month and much closer to Christmas.
Commercial traffic in the center of Athens, the department stores, superstores, shopping centers and discount villages developed very well. The 9 out of 10 small and medium enterprises with the largest participation took advantage of the now well-known market event, while this year even more supermarkets participated. The traffic in the city centers in the Municipalities of Attica was also satisfactory, with perhaps better traffic in Glyfada and Piraeus.
The transactions of the last three days at the cash registers of commercial stores appear to have increased by 10-12% compared to last year with the estimated number exceeding 3 million purchases and the weekly turnover of retail sales of 300 million euros. At a first estimate, the average value of the receipt of around 100 euros has also increased since last year, at least for 1 in 4 consumers, by 15-20%, but not in all markets in Attica, nor certainly for all products. Electronic products, electrical appliances, cosmetics, furniture, household items and generally branded clothing and footwear products seem to have attracted the consumer’s purchasing interest this year.
The operation of Sunday shopping “wedge” between Black Friday and Cyber ​​Monday increased the turnover of brick-and-mortar shopping and reduced the usual quadrupling of online shopping from the Friday before and after Cyber ​​Monday. In fact this year’s festive period for the market has started well, with Christmas just three weeks away and traders wanting higher turnover than last year, while consumers understandably lower prices. I hope that in the Greek market both will be combined this year and that the good start of commercial traffic will continue throughout the winter, despite the inflationary difficulties and energy costs”.
