Topps Tiles has reported that its like-for-like sales increased by 6.2% in its third quarter as it continued to make good progress with its strategy of "Out-Specialising the Specialists".
During the 13 weeks to 2nd July, the retailer launched several new lines which accounted for 8.8% of the period’s total sales.
The company also launched a new service that enables customers to create a bespoke digital brochure with content specific to the rooms and designs that interest them. The retailer said the customer response had been strong, with around 1,000 personalised brochures being created every week.
Chief executive, Matthew Williams said: "Our focus on the successful strategy of 'Out Specialising the Specialists' has enabled us to deliver healthy like-for-like sales growth of 6.2% in the third quarter, with initiatives to extend the appeal of the Topps brand continuing to attract new customers. While it is currently too early to ascertain the implications of the result of the UK referendum, we remain confident in the longer term outlook for our business and in our ability to outperform the market."
