However, a shift to online selling is not planned at this stage.\u0026amp;ldquo;The investment in the website is really to increase the number of products that we showcase, we\u0026amp;rsquo;re not showcasing anywhere near enough of the product categories and individual styles,\u0026amp;rdquo; Marchant told the Sunday Independent.\u0026amp;ldquo;We\u0026amp;rsquo;re also looking to give customers more visibility of products available in their stores, because that\u0026amp;rsquo;s an area where perhaps we haven\u0026amp;rsquo;t been as strong.\u0026amp;rdquo;Many fashion brands already have \u0026amp;lsquo;find in store\u0026amp;rsquo; functions which allow shoppers to check if items are available in a particular locations.Marchant says Primark\u0026amp;rsquo;s new functions would enable \u0026amp;ldquo;customers to be a bit more confident with creating wish lists which means they can go shopping with their friends and have a clear view of what their objectives are in terms of what they are planning to put in their baskets\u0026amp;rdquo;.He pointed to the trend of shoppers looking at items on social media or websites but actually buying the goods in the shop \u2014 known in the trade as research online and purchase offline (ROPO).\u0026amp;ldquo;We know it\u0026amp;rsquo; s a big deal and we have to improve our website to give more visibility of the brilliant products that are available on offer in stores,\u0026amp;rdquo; Marchant says.\u0026amp;ldquo;We\u0026amp;rsquo;ve talked openly about the fact that we know we have a strong digital presence already, we have 24 million followers on social media, which is huge.\u0026amp;ldquo; We have a significant amount of visitors to our website every day, so there is a lot more we can do through social media \u2013 a lot more to educate the customer about what\u0026amp;rsquo;s in store, new trends, new looks, how to pull outfits together, the sustainable agenda.\u0026amp;rdquo;Speaking about closures during pandemic restrictions, he says: \u0026amp;ldquo;We did have a number of weeks where all our stores were closed in all markets.\u0026amp;ldquo;It goes without saying that didn\u0026amp;rsquo;t feel good.\u0026amp;rdquo;But the reaction of shoppers to stores reopening was hugely encouraging, he adds.\u0026amp;ldquo;You would have seen, probably in Ireland more than anywhere else, those massive queues, that pent-up demand for the brand. let productImpressionRecorded = {}; userID: '', We see that even more in younger consumers in the\u00a016-24 age bracket.\u0026amp;ldquo;So I think that whatever business you\u0026amp;rsquo;re in and whatever brand you are, unless you recognise that and move your business model to satisfy those customers\u0026amp;rsquo; demands, then you\u0026amp;rsquo;re not really focused on the right things.\u0026amp;rdquo;Penneys and Primark CEO Paul Marchant says the company will up its online game but it is still focused on bricks and mortar.Marchant says the company is currently in talks over a number of expansion plans in Ireland and elsewhere, including a plan to take up a larger space in Dundrum Town Centre.Discussions to take over new space over two floors at the shopping centre were put on hold earlier in the pandemic.While growing its store footprint is key to the company\u0026amp;rsquo;s strategy, Primark\u0026amp;rsquo;s inability to trade during lockdowns in the UK, US and Europe seemed to put it severely on the back foot \u2013 but so far it is not for turning.ABF said in a stock market update last week that it will invest more in digital.
