Can Primark still be regarded as a cheap shop?

Welcome back to my blog! This week I will be focusing on the popular shop Primark. Although you may think you know Primark well, this blog will provide a different insight which you may have not considered. Therefore, enjoy the read!   To start off on a good note- there are in fact 2 Primark’s in Glasgow City Centre. One is situated on Argyle Street and one on Sauchiehall Street. Personally, I prefer the shop on Argyle Street as it is bigger so has more stock. However, if you catch the smaller one on a quiet day you can spot many good finds.    Opening Times-  Argyle Street Store-         Mon- Fri: 8am-8pm                                          Sat:        8am-7pm       ...

This also encourages customers to enter, making it a busy and dominant shop- perfect for my blog!   The shop and the products  Urban Outfitters provides a homely environment when you shop, with the décor being wooden with a bright feel, coming from various fairy lights. The stock is very diverse and provides, clothes, bags, branded shoes from other retailers, homeware, and other...

Hello and welcome to my first blog post! As mentioned in the about me section, I will be reviewing High Street stores and evaluating the value for money of their products. Additionally, I will be informing you all of discounts which are offered so everyone can get their hands on a deal! First up is H&M.  H&M in Glasgow is located centrally on Buchanan Street. Opening times-  Mon- Sat:  9am – 8pm Sun: 10am – 7pm  The building is very large and made of glass, which makes it very eye-catching for any pedestrians. Therefore, I thought this shop would make a great first blog post as it stands out on the High Street.  Products and Availability  This shop predominantly sells clothes; however, you can also find a range of jewellery, makeup, and accessories. H&M is very inclusive with their sizing and offer sizes 4-34 in their clothing (XS- 4XL). In saying this, on visiting the shop I failed to identify any accessible items above...

Not everyone has a 'Prada' budget. Thus, when I was given the assignment to create a blog on a subject I was interested in, I automatically wanted to evaluate the value for money within High Street stores. This includes the actual prices and discounts offered in line with the quality of the clothes. We have been given this task in order to drive interaction through digital technologies and to gain a further understanding on how marketing works in real time. Therefore, this blog is definitely worth a read as who doesn't love a bargain! Buchanan Street, Glasgow  Stay tuned to get real, detailed reviews of some popular and not so popular high street stores!
