Annual Retail Survey 2018

January 16, 2018

Now in its fourth consecutive year, the KPMG Annual Retail Survey looks at the buying, returns and brand experience of over 1,600 KPMG employees in their capacity as consumers.Their insight gives us a clear customer perspective of the UK’s shifting retail eco-system throughout Black Friday and the festive shopping period, and their experiences at every stage of the customer journey whether they chose to buy in-store or online.
