Doom, Gloom, and a reaction
As dealers report a general lack of "punters", and retail sales in May across the ballpark fell, even against May 2010, the British Retail Consortium reports that: "What we've seen here is food has been reasonably resilient but non-food has had a dreadful May."
Retailers, Mothercare, HMV, JJB, Comet and Dixons have all announced store closures in recent weeks, confirming the all too obvious truth, that consumers are not spending on anything beyond essentials.
Ducati may have had the latest Supersport registrations in mind (-10.50% against a dreadful 2010) when conceiving a new superbike promotion for the UK Market, as purchasers of a new 1198 or 1198SP model, between 1st June and 31st August, will receive a £1,000.00 voucher to spend in-store, on Ducati Performance Accessories or Apparel.
Good to see this leading motorcycle manufacturer actively battling the depressed state of the market !
