The Vila do Conde The Style Outlets center has recorded a record sales increase of 36% in comparison to the previous year.
These figures show that, far from stagnating, outlets in the European market are currently enjoying good health as consumers embrace this retail option with enthusiasm. The latest surveys on NEINVER outlets reveal a high level of customer loyalty and visits are repeated in the range of eight to 10 times per year. In addition, the conversion ratio (purchase per visit) is over 75%. The results for FY2010 support these figures as both sales and the number of visits have grown.
"For another year running our outlets show positive results that demonstrate the consolidation and evolution of this business model. Our outlet centers deliver a unique shopping experience with value for money. These positive indicators strengthen our position in the European market, supporting our consolidation in countries where we are already present and encourage us to enter new markets," stated Manuel Lagares, CEO of NEINVER.
NEINVER currently manages 230,000 m² GLA with over 1,000 stores and 700 top designer brands. The company plans to develop over 166,800 m² GLA over the next two years in seven new projects in several countries across Europe.
