The spend game
As consumers gear up for Christmas, we're sure the independent retail market is looking forward to the financial boost the festive season brings, and it will be much needed as consumers continue to tighten their belts amidst the cost-of-living crisis. But spend they are, and this issue we are focusing on our Christmas products part two, Toys & Games, Women’s Jewellery & Accessories, and Greeting Cards.
That’s all topped off with our regular dose of industry news, new products and insightful business advice.
