It’s a wrap! Now get planning for Xmas 2019!
The new year is well underway and retailers have released their results for the crucial Christmas trading period. Whilst, ahead of the festive season, many experts made gloomy forecasts about consumer spending, ABA’s prediction that there’d be a late surge proved spot on.
The final instalment in our Christmas Unwrapped series is now available for only £4k. This will give you the definitive picture on why certain brands won or lost and the motivations behind buying habits. It will also look at trends you can capitalise on at Christmas 2019.
Here’s a taste of the discoveries included in this final instalment...
