Retail Focus Magazine Issue 121, 2021-2022

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Yes, it really is that time of year again when we dig Michael Bublé out of storage to serenade shoppers as they rush to secure those must-have gifts in time for the big day on December 25th. Here at Retail Focus, we are fully embracing the festive sprit, with Christmas very much a focus theme this issue as we celebrate some of the many creative and colourful seasonal window displays on page 17. As it is the season of good will, we also want to pass on a huge congratulations to all of the winners at the recent 2021 Creative Retail Awards. The event in October welcomed a record crowd at Proud Embankment and we pay tribute to the winners in a special feature on page 50. From all of us here at Retail Focus, have a very merry Christmas, and here’s to a happy and prosperous New Year!
