Pound shops have become one of the greatest ever success stories, taking the advantage of the market when consumers were dealing with rising prices and low budgets. We decided to take a look back through the history of the pound shop to see how it’s evolved over the years.
If you type “bloggers and pound shops” into Google, a lot of content appears. It’s mainly written by bloggers who all praise pound shops. Particularly beauty bloggers.
The world of the internet has surpassed everyone’s beliefs. It has offered businesses a much broader customer base than they ever expected, and targeted a large amount of people that wouldn't have been possible without it. This is especially true for pound and discount shops, which over the past, has had a complete alteration of its stereotype. What’s even better is that there is still plenty of room for growth. Niche products and services are appearing all the time and can now be given to an international audience. But before you jump onto the online selling train, here are just a few points that are worth remembering.
Pound shops have changed the world.
They have also changed the way people shop. Consumers are now so attracted to the “single price” offers in pound shops, it’s no wonder how much they have expended over the past few years. On the high street, it’s these types of shops that are taking over. So it’s our job to make sure you know exactly what products you need to continue to make your business thrive.
If there’s one thing we want, it’s more business. Why? Well, that ensures more sales, which then makes more profit.
But these days, that’s what everyone wants isn’t it? So this is only really intensifying the problem of answering the following question:
How do we do it?
Sure, celebrities are often seen gracing the aisles of premium stores like Harvey Nicholl’s and Harrods, but that doesn’t mean they’re above grabbing a pound’s worth of bargains when they see one. Even American starlet Britney Spears has been snapped buying matches in a London branch of Poundland!
The BBC documentary series ‘Pound Shop Wars’ filmed the grand opening of Poundworld’s 248th store in Hemel Hempstead in July, after producers had their interest peaked by the shop’s head-to-head battle with the local American-owned Poundland.
Pound Wholesale are delighted to announce the launch of our brand new website features, making shopping for wholesale bargains easier than ever before.
Pound Wholesale have secured two brands of perfume to sell wholesale exclusively in the UK.
Two discount stores from one shopping centre have begun a price war that has seen prices go down as low as 93p.
Poundland and the 99p Store at Kingsgate Shopping Centre in Dunfermline have gone head-to-head in a price reduction battle and it’s expected that prices will keep on dropping over the next few weeks.
We’ve only just entered autumn and the first signs of Christmas are already appearing; a few greeting cards here, some decorations there – it’s the elephant in the room that we can no longer ignore.
We are finally starting to get some warmer weather and so many people are heading out into their gardens to soak up some sun. They are inviting family and friends over, having BBQs and using their gardens for socialising.
