Key trading tips for summer
Summer holidays back on the agenda
With more people planning to take a proper summer holiday this year, retailers should be making a big play around
preparing and getting ready for the summer break. This includes more emphasis on foreign travel products, including things
like guide books and sun accessories.
Premium is in…
With finances improving many consumers will be looking to invest in key summer items. These will mostly be statement
products such as designer sunglasses or special items of clothing. Retailers should be looking to stretch out their price
architectures for these products, giving consumers an option to trade up.
…but value remains critical
Although consumers are willing, and able, to trade up on some items, retailers need to recognise that the consumer mindset
remains fairly frugal. This means that on certain items, such as basic summer clothing, toiletries and basic accessories, many
consumers looking to save money will seek value items or ranges.
Duty-free needs to try harder
Although many consumers do buy duty-free products, a significant number are sceptical about whether the savings offered
are compelling enough. With a more promotional high street and retail sector in general, duty-free retailers need to work
harder at conveying value.
E-holiday boost
With the rise of tablets and e-readers, more holiday-makers are now preparing by buying e-books, apps, digital music or
films. There is an opportunity for retailers, especially online retailers, to capitalise on this via marketing and promotion
during the period just before the holiday season.

• Buying for actual holidays and
vacations, including things like
health and beauty, accessories,
clothing and other sundries such
as guide books.
• Buying summer food and drink,
such as BBQ products and salads,
which are mainly consumed at
home.
• Other general summer spend,
which includes spending on things
such as summer clothing not
specifically for holidays or things
like paddling pools, etc.
Please note all spending is retail
spending and so does not include the
cost of things like travel, transport and
accommodation.

Overall Buying for holidays Summer food and drink General summer spend
Overall, spending growth for summer
will grow by 2.5% this year.
The fastest growth segment will be
spending on holidays which will be
fuelled by greater numbers of people
taking vacations.
Summer food and drink spend will
grow by 2.7%, however much of this
will be driven by higher price inflation
rather than by genuine volume
increases.
General summer spend will see the
lowest growth. This is dampened
mostly because many consumers
invested in things like outdoor
furniture last year during the
extended hot spell.

Methodologies and sources
• A combination of consumer research, secondary research and market
forecasting were used to compile this report.
• Consumer research in this report is based on a survey conducted with a
UK nationally representative poll of consumers. Over 2,000
consumers were interviewed during early May 2014 and questioned
about their views on summer holidays and their likely shopping
behaviour for this event. They were also asked about the World Cup
and their intentions for this.
• All numbers relating to expenditure and forecast expenditure of
gadgets are taken from Conlumino’s own retail model. This is updated
on an ongoing basis with inputs from official sources (such as the BRC
and ONS), retailers’ results and trading updates, other secondary
sources and industry surveys, Conlumino’s ongoing programme of
research into consumer spending and habits, and underlying economic
drivers and trends. Conlumino analysts both model and interpret this
information to provide guidance on the likely future direction of retail
expenditure at an overall, sector and category level.
• Unless otherwise stated, all sources of information are derived from
Conlumino’s own research and should be referenced to Webloyalty/
