SABU Schuh & Marketing GmbH and RSB Retail+Service Bank GmbH support stationary shoe retailers with a new Valuta campaign. SABU members can extend their payment terms for a selected decade by 30 days from September to October. The aim is to secure liquidity at short notice and to create financial relief in the currently tense economic situation.
“The campaign offers our members an uncomplicated, interest -free liquidity freedom and supports a successful business course 2025,” explains Bernd Hoffmann, Managing Director of the RSB. Already in February a similar measure met with a positive response. “Our offer helps to bridge liquidity bottlenecks quickly and unbureaucratically,” said Stephan Krug, Managing Director of SABU.
The economic situation of many shoe retailers in Germany is intensified by increasing costs with weak demand. This could not only threaten the trade, but also local supply and jobs. With the Valuta campaign, Sabu and RSB want to set a clear sign to support inpatient trade. However, stabilization requires joint action in the entire industry. In addition to the margin, it would be important to make the ratio of pre- and post-order flexible in order to be able to react to uncertain market conditions.
