Apparently it’s not all doom and gloom this week.

Once upon a time, in the vast realm of online commerce, there lived a humble checkout button overlooked by many. Yet, within its humble click lay the power to transform a mere visitor into a loyal customer. 🧐 💡 Getting checkout right can mark the difference between a successful sale and an abandoned cart, yet many businesses fail to make payments a part of their commerce strategy even when it has a direct impact on revenue.

This time last year street artist Banksy put the sleepy North Somerset seaside town of Weston-Super-Mare firmly on the map with his ‘Dismaland’ art installation at the abandoned Tropicana site on Weston’s sea front. This could not have come at a better time for property investment group Vixcroft who had recently acquired the Sovereign Shopping Centre at the heart of the town with plans to revamp it.
