Are consumers confident to pay more? Retail Week Live and Voxpops International took to the streets of London and interviewed a cross section of the British shopping public to find out their opinions as the New Year starts.  Generally they believe the British economy is finally improving, but they were cautiously optimistic and realistic in their outlook. A third of those we interviewed said they would spend more money now, over a third said it was the same as last year and the rest said less. However people still actively look for bargains. This is the first in a series of 5 videos produced by our Video Partner, Voxpops International forRetail Week Live.  The other 4 topics coming soon: Retail Brands and Loyalty Shopping Habits Mobile Shopping, Great Shopping Experiences Retail Week Live is your opportunity to meet like-minded peers to discuss the most pertinent topics at the top of the retail agenda currently.  Book your place now to guarantee you are at the vanguard of current thinking.
