Why Electrical Stores are Growing Online?

As a family run traditional bricks and mortar electrical store, we have noticed over last 15 years the massive growth of online electrical stores.
                            
The question for the independent electrical stores such as DR Electrical what has caused this growth online and how can we compete?

Let us look at the reason why people are buying online

The main reasons why customers buy large electrical items such as washing machines and fridge-freezers are:
  • the increase in use of the internet across all age groups,
  • Shopping at home in your own leisure time
  • Booking home delivery online
  • Better pricing.

What has DR Electrical done as an electrical retailer to keep up with these changes?
Over the last 6 months, we had to change our business in order to compete. We still wanted to keep to our roots by offering the best local service for Leicester, Nottingham and Derby by offering good value electrical appliances. However, we want to incorporate an online element.

We took note from the brick and clicks model used effectively by John Lewis.  We can give the customer the best of both worlds! 

Customers can come and visit our showroom, get the best advice from staff with great product knowledge and then visit our click and reserve website www.drelectrical.co.uk  in order to check stock and reserve their electrical appliance.

Our website shows live stock level so the customer can reserve their product in confidence. We still have many things that we need to improve our online offering, such as payment online, ability to book in deliveries and installations which will be phased in within the next 12 months.  However, the potential is there for DR Electrical to be the East midlands best local online electrical store.

So when you need a new appliance, why not check out our website www.drelectrical.co.uk Or come and visit our showroom at 262 Loughborough road Leicester LE4 5LH

Have a great week

Popular appliances


As many of our customers are aware, there is a huge amount of choice in the kitchen appliance market.
Online product reviews and consumer magazines such as Which? give valuable advice. However as a retailer, I find reading these product reviews does not always match up to what happens in our shop. Meaning, which products sell the most?

Do the cheap kitchen appliances sell more? Things are not always that straight forward.

If we take the example of the washing machine: 

Whilst cheap washing machines such as the White knight WM105V priced at £179 will always sell well because of the price point. I have noticed a trend that customers are willing to upgrade to more expensive models if the machine is more efficient and can  save them money. The Bosch WAQ28462GB is A+++ Energy rated  (30% cheaper to run than the white Knight) it also has a faster spin and a large  8kg load sells in equal volume to a cheaper models.


An other product area are cookers.

Cheap ovens such as the Newword NW601FSS always seem to be popular with landlords and home starters. But since the increase in popularity of baking due to the GBBO, the neff slide away door ovens such as B544M42N3GB seem to be increasing in popularity.

There are many well known benefits to of supporting local businesses; helping to keep jobs in the local economy, whilst sustaining local high streets and can sometimes result in better product diversity, as a local electrical retailer like D.R Electrical for example can offer a product range that caters to the needs of local customers which can mean access to more niche products and services.
