DIY/Decorating/Workwear


DIY is a national hobby. There are many reasons why people choose DIY. It could be for the fun and satisfaction of creation, to learn, to get something that can’t be bought, or to save money. Interestingly in a survey conducted by the Social Issues Research Centre, only 2% of men and 12% of women said they never did any kind of DIY. This creates a huge market for DIY products. It was also stated that many DIYers visit stores on average once a month to buy products, whilst 5% said they visited once a day! Retailers need to make the most of this huge market and keep their shelves well stocked, especially at this time of year when Spring cleaning fever is upon us! DIYers of today benefit from the advances in technology and time saving gadgets and it is important that manufacturers keep retailers informed of the latest trends and innovations on offer to the consumer.
