up for sale, its owner Derek Coates told the BBC.

“would be a wise move”, but that any sale would not
change existing management or lead to staff redundancies.
PPR, the French retail group behind the
Redcats mail order business, has reached an
agreement to sell its Conforama division to
Steinhoff International Holdings. Steinhoff
operates beds and furniture retailers Hukla and
Relyon in the UK.
Social media drive just 3 percent of retail website visits in the
UK, says the latest Foresee Results report. According to a study
of almost 10,000 visitors to the top UK e-retail websites as
determined by traffic and compiled by IMRG, search-engine results
influence 13 percent of visitors and promotional emails drive 10
percent of traffic. The biggest reaon customers choose to visit a
particular website, states the report, is familiarity with the
site, company or brand.
When asked how they wanted to hear from retailers, 20 percent of
respondents said they didn’t want to hear from retailers at all.
Sixty-two percent of the remaining 80 percent said their
preferred method of communication was promotional emails. Just
two percent said social media were their preferred communications
means, of which Facebook was the first-choice platform.
