Star Wars product set to light up the NEC’s Spring Fair
THE National Exhibition Centre is once again hosting the largest retail event of its kind in the UK.
The Spring Fair is a vital event for the retail sector because it helps buyers to identify what the trends for the year might be so they can place their orders for the most popular items.
Around 85% of the UK’s top high street brands will be in attendance at the event, which takes place between February 7 and 11.
Ahead of the fair, event organisers monitor product interest using technology built into a website. This enables them to predict trends and forecast the hottest products in retail for the coming year.
Predicted to be amongst the best sellers for 2016 are faux botanicals and a Star Wars wall light (pictured).
