This month we are featuring Christmas magazines within NewsPro stores. Here are just a few of the reasons why:

  • In recent years Christmas Home Specials have provided magazine retailers with a valuable seasonal incremental sales opportunity. In 2022 the Christmas Specials market was worth over £1.6m in RSV.
  • These Specials cover everything from decorating your home, to festive crafting, and of course cookery. With on sale dates during September, they provide an early seasonal sales opportunity!
  • Frontline publishes six of the eight titles within this market, including four of the top five revenue generating titles: Good Housekeeping Collection, Country Living Special, Your Home Special, and Simply Christmas. In 2022 the Frontline titles accounted for 72% of the total Christmas Home Specials market (£1.17m)

To assist in forward planning and to capitalise on such events Newspro Retail Group has produced an Annual Events Calendar. By highlighting key events and sales periods throughout the year it allows you to identify and be ready to make the most of these opportunities and act as a reminder in your busy schedule.

In addition to national events, there may be local events that are key to your individual sales. The events calendar allows you to record these for reference. This will assist in planning and capitalising on these events in the future.

  • Plan ahead – Remember that monthly magazines are dated ahead, especially important at Christmas.
