<h2><strong>Stationery bestsellers & emerging trends</strong></h2>
<p> </p>
<h3><strong>Planners & diaries: new year essentials</strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There’s something about turning the first crisp page of a notebook that gets the new year off to a great start. Stock up on dated journals and </span><a href="https://www.creoate.com/product-category/planners-organisers"><span style="font-weight: 400;">planners</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> from our stationery wholesalers in time for the festive and early January peak.</span></p>
<h3><strong>Bullet journals remain on-trend</strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We’ve written a </span><a href="http://blog.creoate.com/blog/a-beginners-guide-to-bullet-journals"><span style="font-weight: 400;">beginners’ guide to bullet journals</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> which documented how this type of journal became so popular, and how to ‘bullet journal’. While some of the hype has since died down, these are still a really popular style.</span></p>
<h3><strong>Greeting cards: a great stationery starter</strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It’s estimated that 811 million greeting cards are bought in the UK each year; that’s around 12 per person. </span><a href="https://www.creoate.com/product-category/greeting-cards"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Greeting cards</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> are also typically fairly high margin, with many cards on CREOATE having a margin of 60% or more.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">And what you’ll often find is that people will pop into your store for a greeting card, and end up leaving with one (or several!) things they didn’t even know they needed. And while you can tap into seasonal events and specific occasions, there are also plenty of lovely ‘neutral’ options if you just want to keep it to a few options. Who can resist a colourful</span></p>
<h3><strong>Washi tape: the ideal impulse purchase</strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Who can resist a colourful and highly appealing reel of washi tape? They make the perfect little countertop or tabletop display, and are perfect for eco-conscious shoppers.</span></p>
<h3><strong>Bold colour</strong></h3>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We’ve noticed bold colours dominating stationery designs, and underpinning the most impactful stationery displays in store. When it comes to colour and stationery, it seems more is more!</span></p>

While not every brand offers this, you can reach out directly through the platform to inquire. Sampling products first can help you assess paper quality, print finish, and overall packaging."

      "text": "Clever merchandising can really bring your stationery stock to life, and brighten up your whole store. Let customers leaf through the premium paper of your journals by displaying them on a table, and leaving one unwrapped to ‘sample’. Display your brightly illustrated wrapping paper on a ladder shelf, and let cards sing by spreading them out on shelves."

Try themed sections—such as “Back-to-School,” “Self-Care Journaling,” or “Cards That Make You Laugh”—to make products feel more purposeful and curated. Social media also plays a role; many stationery brands have visually appealing designs that photograph well and are highly shareable."

    "@type": "Question",
    "name": "How profitable is stationery as a category?",
    "acceptedAnswer": {
      "@type": "Answer",
      "text": "As we mentioned above, a lot of stationery products are high margin (60%+), and many stationery products are evergreen rather than seasonal, so you don’t have to worry about things becoming out of date. Even seasonal stock like wholesale Christmas cards can be brought out year after year if they’re kept carefully, making stationery a generally simple and profitable category to stock.
The exception here is dated diaries, journals, and calendars. Sales for these will peak between November and early January, before drastically dropping off, and leaving stock that’s hard to shift. So it’s important to plan more carefully when buying these types of items wholesale, as well as giving them pride of place for those key buying months, and going for a higher margin here where possible."

<h2>What kind of wholesale seasonal products can I find on CREOATE?</h2>
<p>CREOATE is a one stop shop for all your seasonal wholesale needs. Whether you’re looking for clover clad St Patrick’s Day products, Easter chocolates, <a href="https://www.creoate.com/product-category/christmas-decor">Christmas decor</a>, or to tap into a one-off event, like the <a href="https://www.creoate.com/product-category/royal-coronation">Royal Coronation</a>. There are also plenty of <a href="https://www.creoate.com/product-category/valentines-day">Valentine’s</a> and <a href="https://www.creoate.com/product-category/halloween">Halloween</a> options to explore. </p>
<p>Seasonal stock can be tricky to get right. You ideally need to start planning your stock for the holiday or event at least a few months ahead of the day itself to make sure it arrives with enough time for people to buy it. If you’ve left it a bit close to the wire, try using the filters at the top of the page to show only brands in your country, and then filter to show only brands with the shortest lead times; you’ll be left with products that will arrive to you the fastest. </p>
<p>If you’re looking for gifting options, our curated <a href="https://www.creoate.com/collections">Collections</a> will help you shop by theme; whether you’re looking for little stocking fillers, novelty gifts, or gifts for men. </p>
<h2>FAQs </h2>
<h3>How should I plan for my seasonal stock? </h3>
<p>Buying the right stock, in the right amounts, is a challenge for any retail business. But when that stock is clearly tied to a particular event, this becomes even trickier to get right. Think twice before you stock up on those wholesale chocolate advent calendars, or advent candles in bulk, since seasonal products are often considered the most common example of dead stock.</p>
<p>Ideally you’ll have data from previous years to help you forecast what you need. But don’t be afraid to take risks, too; you have 60 days to return anything that doesn’t sell to us for a refund (as long as it’s from brands you haven’t bought from before), removing the risk of losing money by overstocking. </p>
<h3>When should I start stocking up for Christmas?</h3>
<p>We start seeing retailers shopping for their Christmas wholesale products in August, with searches increasing into the autumn months. Remember that people will need products like Christmas cards and Christmas decorations up to a month before the day itself, so be sure to factor that into your timeline. </p>
<p>Want to get a headstart on your Christmas stock up, but low on space? Remember you can request to delay your order shipment until a future date that works for you. This option will be shown at checkout. </p>
<h3>What other holidays and events are worth stocking up for?</h3>
<p>This depends on your brand, and where you’re based. Christmas is the most popular spending holiday by far, with Black Friday being one of the most popular shopping days. Thanksgiving (USA only), Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day are also popular gifting holidays.</p>

Hello! I'm David, the founder & proud small business owner of Ricicle! I love to create colourful, contemporary & beautiful greeting cards.

The name Ricicle comes from my married name. Before my husband & I married, he was Rice & I was Nichols - together, we are the Ricicles! I knew instantly that this would be the perfect name for the brand.

I've always thought that a greeting card, whether it's a birthday card or one sent just to say 'hello', is like receiving a hug in the post. Surprising someone with a thoughtful gesture combined with a stunning greeting card design can spark so much joy - both for you and the recipient!

That's where my passion comes from - helping people enjoy these moments.

Ricicle
