📈 IMRG’s Weekly Ecommerce Round-up Retailers have started to look ahead to the peak season with greater confidence after the positive results recorded for online sales in September (+3.6% Year-on-Year). Though Wk3 of October saw the sharpest decline tracked by IMRG in nine weeks (-3.8% YoY), it is likely because the same week in 2023 was a tough comparator owing to the great British weather causing growth in product categories such as clothing. Retailers are waiting with great anticipation for what the final week of October will bring, being the final figures before ‘Black November’ begins. Health & Beauty continues to be the top performing product category tracked by IMRG, which is especially unsurprising for this month where many customers will have been preparing for their spooky Halloween looks. Keep an eye out for our post next Friday where we will reveal the final result for October! 🗣️ Andy Mulcahy, Strategy & Insight Director at IMRG #ecommerce #onlineretail #imrg #halloween #blacknovember
