Sledge Retailers must have the hardest job around.
This year the season started early with very heavy snow in December, and for some it came too early. Many retailers had not taken full delivery of their winter sledge stock just as the snow was falling.
Of course, when the snow was on the ground, the sledge sales went crazy, with consumers begging for quick delivery.
But, just as the demand for sledges picks up, so to do the delivery problems as couriers find it hard to get deliveries done. Another major problem for retailers.
Then, as they all sold out, with the season actually still to come, they all restocked, ready for the January and February real sales. But, what happened? You guessed it, warm weather and no snow so no sales.
So, as we speak at the end of March, retailers have plenty of Sledges, with no prospect of snow, and are left complaining about their unhappy lot. We know pools are also difficult, but at least when the sun shines it does not stop the couriers delivering. Who would be a Sledge reatiler?
