UK variety retailer Woolworths' 4.6% decline like-for-like sales decline over the Christmas trading period seems like a relative improvement against a 6.5% like-for-like nosedive in the 18 weeks to December 2. But on a more meaningful long-term comparative, there is little room for seasonal cheer, with this year's sales performance the worst since the company was demerged from Kingfisher in 2001.

UK retailer Woolworths has announced a marginal fall in like-for-like sales in its retail division for the 38 weeks to October 27. 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.

Woolworths is failing to capitalize from consumers wanting to shop more cheaply, as other value retailers benefit from price conscious shoppers choosing to trade down and make their purchases more locally. With both sales and margins falling, the retailer is in a perilous position as it approaches the key Christmas period without a chief executive.

Having parted company with its chief executive Trevor Bish-Jones after six years at the helm, the future direction of Woolworths is now uncertain.

The new price checking feature on Woolworths' website allows consumers to look up prices for more than 5,000 grocery items. This feature is an important step towards improved transparency by retailers, but it does little in the way of improving the customer experience or ensuring that they obtain the best deal when shopping.

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 has reported that first half like-for-like sales at its eponymous high street chain have dropped by 8.3% - despite an undemanding -4.0% comparative. While the company is fighting back with a multichannel strategy and a new focus on childrenswear, these are high risk ventures that are unlikely to deliver significant sales uplifts.

The odds on a break-up of Woolworths shortened as the UK's biggest general merchandise retailer was forced to announce a profit warning in the middle of the crucial Christmas Trading season. While Woolworths will not be the only retailer to struggle this Christmas, its options for rebuilding the business are very limited.
