It’s that busy time of year again as we start to transition into the Autumn/ Winter months. Many retailers will again be starting to slowly morph from their summer offering into more suitable product lines. In short, bye bye BBQs and garden furniture, hello de-icer, fuels and heaters!
Autumn is the time when many consumers will seek to sort their gardens out before Winter arrives. Treating garden furniture, raking leaves and preparing flower beds for the chill is the order of the day. Our Autumn Essentials contains a whole host of products that are due to see increased demand!
For Winter, as consumers brace for the colder, wetter and darker months retailers are sure to see a spike in the need for a wide range of products; from sledges and firewood, through to damp proofing and patio heaters. We’ve organised all of these things and much more into our Winter Essentials collection, take a look and make sure you’re fully prepared!
Of course, it’s not all doom and gloom! Winter also means one of the UK’s favourite holidays are near. Recent trends have also shown consumers preparing for Christmas earlier and earlier each year, if you haven’t already then it might be time that you do too in order to maximise festive sales! See our 2016 Christmas Collection for a comprehensive offering of all things festive.
