Strong January sales figures lead to promising start
January sales volumes were up by 2.3% on 2016 levels according to EPOS data analysis by GTN Bestsellers. That’s a promising start to the year but it’s only equal to the average January sales for the preceding six years and 7% down on the peak January of 2015.
With January accounting for only 5% of annual sales the only conclusion we can make is that there is potential for a good year. We’ll be able to make better predictions in March and April.
