Wrapit, the online wedding list company, has called in the administrators following the decision of its bank, HSBC, to withdraw its credit card processing facility. Despite angry allegations from the company's former directors, the bank claimed that it had no other options for a business that has made a loss for the past six years and has failed to attract a venture capitalist rescue bid.

While its retail business faces a tough future, its wholesale business has been going from strength to strength, posting growth of 61.9%, helped by a number of acquisitions.

Following Tesco and Asda's recent announcements that they are to stop stocking CD singles, Woolworths has revealed that it will also stop selling CD singles in its remaining 400 stores that stock them. The retailer's announcement not only signifies another nail in the coffin of the physical single, but also another escalation in an increasingly fierce digital-download market.

Woolworths' new CEO, Steve Johnson, has outlined a strategy for turning the ailing retailer's fortunes around by focusing on the customer, store disciplines, product availability and value perceptions, while also simplifying the business. While these initiatives are essential to put the business on a stable footing, they may only prolong Woolworths' survival, rather than ensure its future.

After disastrous results a year ago, it was imperative that Woolworths returned its core retail business to profit. However, while Woolworths met this target; it did so by the narrowest of margins. Looking ahead, there is considerable scope for Woolworths to improve margins further, although turnover is set to shrink as the retailer downsizes and relocates stores.

Wilkinson's results continue the trend of positive announcements from value-led retailers, with the economic downturn fostering an increased frugality among consumers. The demise of Woolworths has also presented a number of opportunities for general merchandisers, with the growing plethora of high street-based value-led propositions very much emerging as winners during the recession.

Over the 12 months to the end of 2008, Verdict predicts that the buoyant video games market will have grown by GBP1.37 billion. This is especially significant when compared to the stagnation in the music and video sectors, which have recorded a combined growth of just GBP0.03 billion. It is likely, then, that the video game retail market will soon become the largest entertainment sector in the UK.

The Office for National Statistics' latest data shows that February's UK retail sales were up 4.7%. Clothing and online retailers spearheaded the increase, though it was against weak comparatives. Looking ahead, retail is heading for a stormy patch as it comes up against tougher comparatives and as consumers tighten their belts in response to a fourth quarterly rate rise in less than a year.

In 2006, online retail spending in the UK grew by 33.4%, to a record GBP10.9 billion, almost 13 times faster than the retail sector overall, thanks largely to retailer investment and low-cost broadband. However, unlike five years ago, no reasons for an end to the boom are apparent, and online sales look set to almost triple over the next five years, to reach GBP28 billion in 2011.
