Buyers' Top Picks - Q1 2023

As the new year rapidly approaches, it is time to begin thinking about your stock and ranges for quarter one. Typically, January is a quiet month for business’ after the rush and expense of the festive season so it’s important to select essential and affordable products for your store.

At Harrisons, our buyers:

• Select new products and review old ones, so you get products that are more likely to sell.
• Find the right suppliers – so we can price our goods competitively.
• React to any changes in customer demand, so you get the products you need when you need them.
• Maintain relationships with existing suppliers while seeking out new ones – we’re always looking for new, innovative products that improve your sales lines.
• Getting feedback from customers – we want to hear about how products work for you and what we can do better (we’re rated 4.8/5* on Feefo!).

This month, our team of expert buyers have carefully selected the most essential products for the colder months as well as some new ranges that are currently popular and on trend. Read on to find the best products to stock…
