Fuel Prices Change the way you Shop

According to research carried out in the UK by IGD Shopper Track and reported in June/July Commercial Horticulture in New Zealand. 52% of Brits are saying they are going to shop less due to fuel prices and 50% are going to use shops that are nearer to their home. 41% said they would use a supermarket that had a petrol station on site and offered petrol discounts. 31% stated they would turn to online shopping to save money. But, when it comes to lifestyle retailing, once they are motivated to go they are more likely to buy. It looks like this is a time to sell the ideas, solutions and create the desire to visit, the sale will then come.
