As many retailers have already noticed Boxer have not stood still in recent years, and have instead launched new products at a blistering rate! 2011 continues the trend with more new products launched this year than ever before in the company’s 29 year history, including further new ranges to be launched at Harrogate, [it should be noted that showroom previews are available]. Till point product is a particular strength in Boxer’s range


and the ‘Munkees’ Functional Key rings have been shown to be early winners this year. This very modern range of fun functional key rings [incorporating bottle openers, compasses, etc.] is well designed, with an ‘outdoor feel’ which has youth appeal but is also suitable for all ages. From ‘skateboards’ and ‘footballers’ to ‘polar bears’ and ‘fi sh bones’, the ‘metallic’ designs make a fashion statement as well as being a pretty useful thing to have around. Another strong line is the popular range of ‘Fine Tins’, where


you are encouraged to ‘pay up’ for ‘misdemeanours’ associated with ‘Senior Moments’, ‘Binge Drinking’, ‘Grumpy Old Man’, ‘Swearing’ and others. Recent additions are ‘Beer Fund’, ‘Shopping Trip’, ‘New Shoes’, ‘Holiday Fund’ and ‘Romantic Nights Fund’. Since the huge success of the ‘Over The Top’ Wine Stoppers,


which were one of 2010 most repeated lines, Boxer has introduced 6 bright new titles. These will add to the appeal of this unique range which provides a superb return for the small footprint invested at till point space. [Pictured is a selection of ‘Over the Top’ wine stoppers]

Shared Earth has hundreds of designs to choose from. Its jewellery includes necklaces, bangles and earrings from many countries including India, Nepal and Kenya. Shared Earth has 8 of its own shops and estimates that 20% of its turnover comes from its jewellery – and it takes up less than 10% of the shopfl oor space. With a variety of styles and prices, it attracts a wide range of customers, from teenagers who buy a bangle with their pocket money to much older people who buy a necklace/earring set and perhaps an evening bag to go with it. Scarves are also extremely popular. These customers keep coming back because Shared Earth regularly introduces lots of new styles, keeping its off ering fresh.
