Repair Outlet's 2022 Wrapped!
If you remember last year, we made a recap of what went on for us in 2021. To begin a trend, we've calculated what happened for us in 2022. Because last year was our first-ever take on this, it will be interesting to compare certain statistics from last year to this year. This will enable us to see if there were any drastic changes as well as also adding a few extras to make this one even bigger. That's exactly how this year has been, with our business forever expanding, there's been more and more happening behind the scenes. Here you are folks, Repair Outlet's 2022 Wrapped!
Before we get into the nitty-gritty, something that is very common across our workplace is gifs. We love communicating in numerous ways through a good old gif, whether it's to each other in the workplace or to you guys in e-mails. In the whole year, we have sent over 10 hours worth of gifs across all of our communication platforms, including e-mails to you! Stephen Wilhite would be proud!
And if you can't see the pattern, then that's how each paragraph will be summarised, to ensure that our statistics for next year will be even higher, including this one.
So now for comparisons. Interestingly enough, last year saw us hit a total of more than 220,000 products sold through our website! This year, we have hit the same total of over 220,000 products sold across our website, we didn't quite expect to sell that amount of products again let alone match the total, so that for us again was a great achievement, consistency is most definitely key as they say.
At the start of 2021, we had over 5,000 SKUs across our site and doubled that total to over 10,000 SKUs at the end of the year. It appears we love going up in our 5,000 times tables, as we now have over 15,000 SKUs across our site. Gamblers, place your bets now at the bookies to see if we have over 20,000 SKUs by the end of 2023.
Of all of the devices that we offer spares for, the iPhone X was our highest with 75 individual parts. With us constantly updating our site with new SKUs every day, this year's winner is...the iPhone X again. Boring we know but now we offer over 100+ parts for this device, so we stand by our previous statement of "should you own an iPhone X and run into trouble, then we can most definitely help you".
Over the entire year, we were visited by people that spanned over 193 countries across the world. The only two countries out of the 195 that we didn't get a visit from were San Marino and Vatican City. Hopefully one day the Pope needs a replacement back glass on his iPhone, and we are his choice of repair centre.
In addition to this, we were visited by more than 1.2 million visitors across our site this year, which equates to the entire population of Cyprus. If everyone who visited stood side by side with each other, we could fit them all perfectly in North Korea which is roughly over 120,000 square metres...yikes!
Now to move to a completely new statistic for you that focus on our Repair Centre. In a whole year, it turns out that the Repair Centre used over 2,500 adhesive glues throughout repairs. With each adhesive containing 15ml per packet, this equated to 38.49 litres of adhesive. To show just how British we are, that works out at roughly 67 and a half pints. We're talking about pints of water of course...
Well, we are all about 'gifd' out now, so we will leave it at that for this year's 2022 wrapped. From all of us at Repair Outlet, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Just one more for the road...
