THE number of bargain- hunters visiting the sales is up on last year, according to figures published by analysts.
FootFall said the number of people in key shopping centres across the country over the past three days is 2.1% above the equivalent days in 2003. The figures record only how many shoppers are out and about and not how much they are spending.
A marketing information analyst at FootFall said the increase was encouraging, indicating that shoppers still had the intention to spend.
