Furthermore, 27 per cent now say they check online for a better price while in store, and 23 per cent check the reviews for an item online while in a physical shop. The survey attracted 168 respondents based in Scotland, and was conducted earlier this month, while the consumer protection that comes with using a Visa debit or credit card was also stressed.
Jeni Mundy, managing director, UK & Ireland at Visa, said: “It’s clear that the Scottish high street still holds its lure for consumers, with many excited to head back into stores next week. Even as people have become more used to shopping online over the last year, it’s great that consumers are embracing shopping with a mix of both ‘bricks and clicks for the best experience, as the lines between offline and online continue to blur.”
