In October, Stores Showed Signs of a Rebound
Over all for the industry in October, apparel sales increased 3.4 percent compared with the period a year ago, luxury goods rose 6.5 percent, jewelry increased 7.2 percent, and department store sales declined 1.5 percent, according to SpendingPulse. E-commerce was the most robust sector, increasing 18.7 percent — the third consecutive month of double-digit growth — because of strong sales of small, low-price goods.
