What experts are forecasting for Xmas 2020

posted on 16 Sep in General News by Katie Mann.

We think the saying ‘can you believe we’re in September already’ has already been worn out, but what a crazy year it has been!

With so much uncertainty, it’s reassuring to have some certainity that our tradition of Christmas will happen. Something to look forward to and celebrate will likely be the morale boost we all need to get through an otherwise very very strange year.

Today marks 100 days until Christmas. In retail land, that’s not long at all and many are still playing lockdown catch up when it comes to planning Christmas stock and displays.

What The Experts Are Saying:

Surveys from Money.co.uk show that consumers are feeling positive about Christmas spending and grateful to have something to safely celebrate. Many of us have had to cancel or postpone our usual get-togethers: weddings, birthday parties… Christmas will be a welcome time of celebration with our nearest and dearest.

Financially, customers are ready to spend. Salman Haqqi, personal finance expert at Money.co.uk says:

“64% of the public we polled said they intended to spend more or at least as much on Christmas presents in 2020, as they did in 2019. Last year people said they intended to spend an average of £780 on Christmas gifts but this year is set to increase to £965”.

The article goes on to say Christmas shopping is likely to start sooner this year, especially if customers can get a deal.

“Three quarters of those polled revealed they would consider starting their Christmas shopping earlier if it could save them money”.

With that being said, it’s time to consider how to make the most of the festive season ahead and maximise your sales. Are you ready?

Harrogate Highlights

With a stand spanning 3 additional areas we were able to “Deliver” a much wider selection of our Christmas range than ever before… showcasing our truly amazing Truck Campaign. Even Santa is thinking of retiring Rudolph he was so inspired.

An Opulent take on Christmas

A luxurious take on Christmas was “delivered” with our Opulence themed products - full of rich colours and textures with a hint of gold. If you’re looking for a bold but beautiful Christmas theme, this is it!

Wreaths, wreaths & more wreaths!

The fab wall of wreaths attracted a lot of attention this year, and no wonder- they come in all shapes and sizes, ones with a modern spin as well as traditional classics…. many with matching garlands. They’re so pretty, your customers will want to keep them up all year round!

Glittering Glass

Here at Heaven Sends we’re synonymous for beautiful glass decorations and this year the range was hugely expanded to cater to the widest audience possible. Ever popular, our LED baubles were a massive hit along with the usual host of classic sparkling glass angels. Always a best seller no matter your style.
