The holiday season of 2023 is sure to be an exciting time for retailers, as consumers continue to look for the latest trends in wholesale products. With technology advancing rapidly and more people shopping online, it’s important that businesses stay ahead of the curve when it comes to stocking their shelves with popular items. To help them prepare, here are some predictions regarding upcoming wholesale product trends for the holidays this year.
Upcoming Trends for the Holiday Season
One trend we anticipate seeing during this holiday season is customers looking for discounts. The overall retail market is expecting consumers to cut back on spending and get more for their money. Expect movers to be middle price-point items that shoppers can pick up in quantity or with price reductions. Platforms such as WholesaleCentral can provide access to an array of products and suppliers.
Technology is Trending
Technological advancements should greatly influence what products make up our wish lists come December 2023. As 5G networks become commonplace, we can expect connected devices such as smart home assistants, VR headsets, drones & robots will dominate store shelves across all price points – providing shoppers with endless possibilities when looking for something special. Wearables like fitness trackers & smart watches could see an increase demand thanks their ability keep users connected at all times without sacrificing style or comfortability.
More shoppers are buying on mobile than ever before. Make sure your channels are not just good for browsing, but also checking out and completing purchases. There’s a lot of shopping that is mobile-only. Review your sales funnel for anything that might be a snag for mobile shoppers. Any little problem can lead to cart abandonments.
Health & Beauty is Growing
Health and beauty products are small, affordable, easy to ship, and can be personalized to make great gifts. This puts them in the sweet spot for profitability and makes them easy to stock and convert. With consumers mindful of spending, they are looking for small items that can be unique, or targeted to a recipient’s tastes. The ‘wellness’ factor can also make a gift represent caring and a bit of luxury. There’s no doubt that this upcoming holiday season will bring plenty of surprises. Retailers must be prepared to stock up on these hot new items if you want to succeed against competitors who may already have a jumpstart.
