H&M has taken a similar direction into bringing the stores and digital closer together, watching fast online sales. H&M states that the decline of in-store sales in the UK has been more than compensated by the fast growth in online sales.

The Range is starting on a store opening programme marking its 30th anniversary year. Opening new stores around the UK this year will create hundreds of new jobs. While many multichannel retailers are reducing their high street presence for online shopping, The Range is growing their high street presence.

N Brown Group has introduced another unique business model, investing in online merchandising. N Brown Group is introducing the use of new photography technology as a means to inspire and inform customers of what they are buying.
