Spar gives away M&S vouchers to up its footfall

Symbol group Spar is providing its shoppers with Marks & Spencer gift vouchers to act as a footfall driver.

It is offering£5 and£10 vouchers in 10 stores in the Northwest. If successful, it intends to spread the scheme across its estate.

The retailer is also testing Acorne Experience gift cards for days out, such as rally driving. Spar retail development controller Barry Wallis said: 'A lot of people have not got time to go into town and purchase gift vouchers.

M&S is very enthusiastic about the trial and we will see how it goes.'
