noritsuvet Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 We're seeing a very different Christmas this year. Had hoped for a big week just gone, along with a busy Saturday, but think the weather may have put paid to that. Still a week to go, but this snow and cold is keeping punters away from the shops - at least around here. How are other parts of the country going?

Mark Amies Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 It certainly is making deliveries a real pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeilT Posted December 20, 2010 Report Share Posted December 20, 2010 The local news here is that trade is down 25% due to the weather. Also, people will still need to buy, so it could be a mad scramble this week good to hear you have a rush kiosguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philspectrum Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Hard weather favours the strip mall over the traditional high St or covered market. The north has had it cold for over a month now. Fir the first week or two it was quieter but now we are aclimatized it feels normal again. I wonder if there is a national feeling that this is the "last christmas" before vat increase and austerity measures? I hope not! If you do onsite photogifts print out a stack of fliers saying you do them in 1 hour and take round the chains, we get a lot if last week trade this way.

AJLA Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 Last Saturday was a very busy day for me, I think our locals were panic buying as they did not want to attempt to get into the city, all week was steady but yesterday was great so I'm hoping this is now the start of the last minute rush and i'm not letting anyone out without a frame or something! Dont you just love the sound of that till going ...kerching...reminds me of the good old days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noritsuvet Posted December 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 This week has been very busy. Gifts, photos and frames are doing really well. Can't remember a Christmas week as good for a while (maybe I just have a short memory these days ) Canvas has been good but not so muck demand for photobooks this year - what happened to all the hype?
