Christmas product sales sparkle as footfall increases


Christmas sales sparkled last week as footfall went through the roof.

The GTN Bestsellers Top 50 index was slightly down on last year but it’s clear from the EPoS data supplied that the total Christmas sales volumes are at least 10% up on last year.

Illuminated products continue to impress with sell through and as real trees get purchased and decorated so the sales of baubles reaches a high point for the season.

Some of the star performers this week include:
  • Premier Battery Operated Eva Snowman 15cm is the highest re-entry at No 6.
  • Lindt Truffle Tree Hangers join Lindt Bear Tree Decorations in the chart at No 13.
  • Premier 200 Multiaction LED Supabrights Warm White are the highest chart climber, up 31 places to No 8.
