Products to Watch - 2024 Q4 Tips | Blog

As we move into the latter months of the year, one of the biggest changes Brits experience and warmly embrace is the Autumnal and Winter chill, and Pound Wholesale is organising its stocks accordingly via multi-warehousing to ensure we’re ready for October, November & December!

Q4 is among the busiest time for wholesalers and retailers. With seasonal heavyweights like Halloween, Bonfire Night and Christmas to prepare for, businesses up and down the country will be stocking up to ensure they’re ready for an influx of customers.

October, November and December typically account for a significant portion of annual sales for many businesses, as their services are primarily dictated by holiday shopping, and affected by factors such as industry, region and contemporary economic conditions.

A massive factor that determines UK economic performance is consumers’ employment and finances, as people look to splash the cash during the holiday seasons. A recent study has indicated that consumers are feeling more optimistic about their finances, following a fall in inflation, cutting of interest rates and political stability.

Similarly, UK private sector activity has grown more than expected, propelling GBP to a 13-month high against the dollar.

Businesses across the UK will be hoping that the recent positive signs indicate that the UK is on the road to even stronger economic recovery.

Christmas

The UK economy typically experiences a huge boost during the Christmas and holiday season, largely driven by increased consumer spending on gifts, decorations, food and travel. Festive e-commerce shopping also contributes a significant amount to Q4 sales, in addition to items such as toys, electronics and home décor.

Pound Wholesale has proudly supported a range of businesses for many years, regularly diversifying and innovating its range to cater to a greater range of customers and consumers.

From discount stores and retailers to marketplace sellers, council and community projects and crafters, a huge proportion of Pound Wholesale’s customer bases purchase significant quantities of festive stock during Q4. Our studies have indicated that the most popular Christmas category is gift wrap and gift bags, followed by craft, decorations and partyware.

Retailers such as costume shops, party stores and convenience stores stock Halloween supplies locally for kids and parents to acquire, whereas online retailers and crafters play an important role in terms of getting products and decorations into the hands of consumers
