LONDON, August 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --

According to accountants PwC, nine out of ten clothing chains were having sales with an average discount of 55 per cent - the highest ever - in July. Faced with dwindling crowds who are preferring to stay indoors, DIY stores and electrical outlets have also implemented significant price cuts in an effort to entice people out to shop.[1]
