Tuesday 17th January 2012

Record orders for the festive period and the company has its first “million month” with sales of over £1.1m in December

Birmingham, 16 January 2012 - Mobile Fun, (www.MobileFun.co.uk) the leading online retailer of accessories for mobile phones,

tablets and other mobile devices, has reported another strong Christmas trading period with orders for the quarter up by 21%

and sales up by 13% compared with the same period in 2010.

The company, with UK, German, French, Dutch and Spanish websites, received a record 122,861 orders over the final quarter of

2011. December was a particularly strong month, with sales of over £1.1 million and orders up by 32% on December 2010,

offsetting a slight weakness in UK trading in the build up to Christmas.

Strong growth at Mobile Fun’s European websites, MobileFun.de, MobileFun.fr and the more recently launched MobileFun.es and

MobileFun.nl, increased orders placed on these websites by 93% and sales by 86%.

Mohammed Hussain, Managing Director of Mobile Fun, comments: “Our teams across Europe have delivered a strong performance

over the festive period - and we’re thrilled that sales exceeded £1 million in December. The continued growth of the

smartphone and tablet markets has made this an incredible Christmas for Mobile Fun. Our customers especially appreciated

fast delivery for last-minute shopping - this year, we were able to ship orders placed up to 7pm on 23rd December for

 pre-Christmas delivery.”

“Despite a weak retail environment in the UK, our outlook for 2012 is positive: we believe that our strong product

proposition, combined with our successful international expansion strategy will enable us to continue to capitalise

on the opportunity offered by the growth of the smartphone and tablet markets. We are particularly excited about the

opportunity presented by forthcoming new devices from major manufacturers such as Apple, Samsung and Nokia – as these

will ensure strong demand for our products,” concluded Hussain.
