It may only seem like two minutes ago that children finished school for the summer, but the summer holidays are now officially in full-swing and it won’t be long until the September blues kick in up and down the country and children will be heading back to school. With this in mind, Midland Pallet Trucks, one of the country’s finest providers of manual handling equipment, such as pallet trucks, stacker trucks and lift tables, is urging retailers to stock up on products in order to not get left high and dry when the retail market picks up in the run up to the new term.
Phil Chesworth Director of Midland Pallet Trucks, said, “For many, the summer retail landscape is often slow as people go away on holiday and wait for the new season of goods. And as a result, retailers often find that the time can pass them by and before they know it, the rush to get ready for September is upon them and they aren’t prepared.”
September usually signals the start of the big retail push of the year. Back to school items dominate the beginning of the month, before Halloween creeps in towards October and both shops and consumers alike look forward to the festive season. And ensuring that retailers are ready for the September peak, they will guarantee that they can stay ahead during the final, and busiest, three months of the year.
Phil, adds, “Preparation really is the key to succeeding during this time. Ensuring businesses think ahead and are ready for the last-minute rush, as well as those early birds looking to get Christmas-ready before December hits, can really capitalise and make sure they have a successful end to the year.”
Midland Pallet Trucks can help businesses get ready for the upcoming busy period with their heavy duty range of warehouse equipment, ideal for businesses of all sizes.
