The effect of the coronacrisis are still being felt, for a lot of retailers. The versoepelingen of the cornamaatregelen may have to be more fuss made, but the activity does not increase, since the re-opening of the hotel industry, says market researcher Locatus.
“It’s the weekend, it is still not business as usual,” says Paul te Grotenhuis, the trade of non-food products to retailers, INretail. “The place soon became crowded and in urban areas, because fewer people in the stores are a part of the street, waiting for the hustle and bustle, it is very, very relative.”
‘Not that much’
According to the industry trade association, in comparison with the beginning of the coronacrisis have better things to do with the shop owners. All of the revenue up. “Makes sense that you will have more sales than when the shop is closed,” said Te Grotenhuis. “But if you’re on a sixty, a seventy-per cent of what it used to be, you will be rewarded as an entrepreneur, it can still run out of money, but you can only spend less.”
There is also room for optimism. For example, the number of pin transactions, and to see the different sectors, the sales to increase, according to figures from ING. Consumers have to keep up with their expenses, yet a lot of take into account the corona, see the industry-the economist, Henk van den Brink.
“Lack of food, and other food products to give, we are for a long time, more than a year or so ago, with fashion and leisure activities, just less of it. Also, to stay in the garden and hardware shops of the popular shopping destinations.”
