The inflow to the mall registered a decline of 6.6% in November.

The largest drop in terms of visits so far this year, according to the Experian FootFall Index. Shopping centers have received in last November by 6.6% fewer visitors than during the same month last year.

The crisis and the fact that during the holidays from November establishments should remain closed, have contributed to a sharp drop in the influx, the most pronounced in 2008 terms.

 

 

The influx of malls intermonthly always includes temporary factors that increase or decrease depending on the month. Months in July as in December usually upside by the "sales factor" or the "Christmas factor." However, the influx interannual (compared to a month for the same period last year) reflects the trend upward or downward in general terms because it eliminates the time factor.

 

 

In this case, the sharp drop of 6.6% of visits to the mall has been registered in November interannual, which means that the trend for this month reflected a strong decline in inflows, the highest so far this year.

 

Moreover, the influx intermonthly has also fallen, registering a decrease of 3.5% compared to the influx computed in October.

 

 

According to the Experian FootFall Index, the cumulative inflows from January to November 2008 has only a slight 0.2% increase. This record makes virtually stagnant growth in the number of visits in 2008. Only the month of December, traditionally bullish on visits to shops, you can compensate for such data.
