What the retailers had to say:
“We had very successful “Spirit of Christmas “evenings in all of our shops during November. This has consisted of inviting customers to join us for a glass of mulled wine to get ideas for Christmas. Cockermouth and Bowness teamed up with other shops in town and this made a very enjoyable evening and produced very worthwhile sales. We have found it is much better to do these evening during November rather than trying to compete with the multiples during December.“ Andrew Marshall, Strolling4Shoes, Cockermouth, Cumbria
“Having plenty of boots in stock has really helped to achieve good sales, last year I did not order enough and kept running out and loosing sales.” Maria Leese, Doris and Daisy, Wimborne, Dorset
"Let's hope the snow hits soon, as I think we have all bought in lots of snow boots/waterproof lines, and it's been way to mild to sell them!" Sam Price Angels and Urchins
