Marks & Spencer CANCELS Christmas clothing ads and turns to online influencers to promote its range instead

Marks & Spencer has cancelled its Christmas clothing adverts and turned to online influencers to promote its range instead. 

Traditional TV ads will concentrate solely on food this year instead, with the first to appear in the coming weeks. 

The retailer is still planning to use influencers on social media to market clothing and homeware in the hope customers will shop online in the event of a lockdown over Christmas, according to Campaign.

Last year the company's Christmas ad for clothing featured hip hop dancers in the store's jumpers and pyjamas.

Sales for jumpers and pyjamas rose as a result but figures later showed that, overall, sales of clothing and homeware in the last three months of 2019 fell by 1.7 per cent.

It follows the onset of the Covid crisis, with more customers working from home, meaning demand for work-related wear has fallen since.

M&S announced in August that it is axing 7,000 jobs, with the bulk of cuts being made across its stores, hitting around 12 per cent of its 60,000 shop-based staff.

Regarding its last set of financial figures, retail analyst Natalie Berg, of NBK Retail, said of M&S clothing: 'In trying to be everything to everyone they've ended up being nothing to no one.'

And fellow analyst, Kate Hardcastle, added: 'Generally they have got a 25-year-old model wearing garments targeted at a 65-year-old who doesn't feel included.

'They don't connect with customers enough so they never know what the customers want.'

An M&S spokesperson said: 'We wouldn't share any details about our future campaigns before launch.

'This festive season our clothing team is focused on helping our customers shop with confidence in-store and online, as well as delivering the magic and sparkle customers expect of M&S - as ever, we'll be doing that through a wide range of customer channels.'
