How weather affected spending behaviour

“The main purchasing trend we saw in 2015 was an increase in seasonal buying.

Customers continued to buy products from our spring and summer collection well into autumn due to the delay of the colder weather.

It seems that people buy for the weather at the moment rather than planning ahead for the next season.”

Robert McMahon Director UK Madeleine

How weather affected spending behaviour

“While in the past customers used to order early in the season, we saw the “buy now, wear now” concept speeding up

I think this is due to commoditisation on the high street for some product areas, but also due to the uncertain weather patterns we have seen in recent years . Customers don’t really want to spend until they need it.”

Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Christmas

“In 2015, Black Friday and Cyber Monday had the effect of pulling Christmas sales forward for us so going into the future we will plan our business slightly differently to accommodate it.

The use of digital gives a window of opportunity to get extra sales before Christmas from those people who order during the promotional period.

Last year Cyber Monday immediately followed Black Friday but there is a separation in 2016 so it would be interesting to see if this affects spending patterns.”

Dara O’Malley Head of MarketingJD Williams

Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Christmas

“We are very engaged with Black Friday promotions and we will continue to use this as an activity to gain market share.

We believe that we would lose out if we didn’t run any promotions during this time;; anyone in our sector who ignores this opportunity would find themselves left out in the cold.”

Robert McMahon Director UK Madeleine

Black Friday, Cyber Monday and Christmas

“Black Friday and Cyber Monday had a big impact on sales.

We noticed 87% of similar companies to ours were offering an average of 30% discount over this period.

We felt that the impact of Black Friday brought the sales forwards which then effected the last 4 weeks of the year.

After testing we found that some of our customers did not like Black Friday so next year we will group our customers to ensure that we tailor these offers in a different way.”
