DUBLIN, IRELAND, November 10, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Darren Mahon of Mahon Enterprises Ltd says, "On average there was 13% less foot traffic in Dublin shops last year. With the economy in turmoil, it is predicted that it could fall by a further 10% this year". Mahon Enterprises Ltd reveals that according to a recent survey conducted by O2, 16% of small businesses fear they will close down by end of 2013 if sales do not improve.
It is estimated that 54% of small business owners believe that generating consumer awareness is the biggest challenge. Darren comments, "Businesses who are suffering need to explore new methods of how to increase sales. If my business was not hitting its target I make changes, try new things and make something happen. To build consumer awareness, advertise using leaflets, stand outside the shop and hand them out, you must attract people in."
Mahon Enterprises Ltd believes that one of the leading factors for the decrease in retail footfall is down to alternative sales methods which are more convenient and more cost efficient. Managing Director Darren Mahon comments "it is reported that 75% of people now research before purchase looking for the best deal. With Ireland's unemployment rates nearly doubling in the past 4 years, 14.2% of Irish are currently unemployed resulting in all being more money conscious"
