Mobile Fun, (www.MobileFun.co.uk) the leading online retailer of
accessories for mobile phones, tablets and other mobile devices,
has reported another strong Christmas trading period with orders
for the quarter up by 21% and sales up by 13% compared with the
same period in 2010.
The company, with UK, German, French, Dutch and Spanish
websites, received a record 122,861 orders over the final quarter
of 2011. December was a particularly strong month, with sales of
over £1.1 million and orders up by 32% on December 2010,
offsetting a slight weakness in UK trading in the build up to
Christmas.
Strong growth at Mobile Fun's European websites, MobileFun.de,
MobileFun.fr and the more recently launched MobileFun.es and
MobileFun.nl, increased orders placed on these websites by 93% and
sales by 86%.
Mohammed Hussain, Managing Director of Mobile Fun, comments:
"Our teams across Europe have delivered a strong performance over
the festive period - and we're thrilled that sales exceeded
£1 million in December. The continued growth of the
smartphone and tablet markets has made this an incredible Christmas
for Mobile Fun. Our customers especially appreciated fast delivery
for last-minute shopping - this year, we were able to ship orders
placed up to 7pm on 23rd December for pre-Christmas delivery."
"Despite a weak retail environment in the UK, our outlook for
2012 is positive: we believe that our strong product proposition,
combined with our successful international expansion strategy will
enable us to continue to capitalise on the opportunity offered by
the growth of the smartphone and tablet markets. We are
particularly excited about the opportunity presented by forthcoming
new devices from major manufacturers such as Apple, Samsung and
Nokia - as these will ensure strong demand for our products,"
concluded Hussain.
