Christmas sales are getting back on track according to analysis of the weekly EPOS data received for GTN Bestsellers.
Top 50 Christmas lines sales were up by 8% on the same week last year, static compared to 2019 and 21% up on 2018.
While sales of products in stock are going very well, some centres are still reporting that stocks ordered for Christmas have not yet been delivered, and some have said they’ve now cancelled them for fear of not arriving in time for this Christmas.
The next three weeks sales are always critical for Christmas. Let’s just hope there is enough stock to keep the tills ringing.
Highlights of the week were:
History & Heraldry Santa's On His Way Personalised Cards move back up to No 1 in the GTN Christmas Products chart.
The Three Kings 39cm Silver & White Inlit Tree Magic by Smart Garden Products is a new entry, straight in at No 2.
Armitages Good Boy Dog Advent Calendar re-enters at No 9 in its quest to once again be the biggest selling garden centre advent calendar.
