Trends to get ahead of for Christmas 2019

02/10/2018

Retail trends are always shifting and changing, so moving with the times and even getting ahead of the competition can bring big rewards.

While the vast majority of retailers will be focusing exclusively on getting their offering right for Christmas 2018, it’s always a good idea to try and think one step ahead.

Some of the biggest retailers out there are already outlining what their thinking is for Christmas 2019. For example, John Lewis is reported to start putting together its plans for its Christmas season as early as January.

You also may not have heard of Christmasworld. This global trade show takes place in Germany each year and covers all the major trends and topics that are shaping the Christmas retail industry. This event can give a real insight into what retailers are looking at around the Christmas period moving forwards, and help them prepare for future trends.

Why are we telling you this? Ultimately, when it comes to Christmas, it’s never too early to start planning your approach and getting your store ready in order to get that step up ahead of the competition.

So while you should prioritise getting Christmas 2018 right first, don’t miss out on the chance to get ahead of the game in terms of trends for 2019.

Experts at Christmasworld have already highlighted 4 key areas it believes will shape Christmas 2019. These are:
