Our latest report covers consumer spend and marketing activity trends in the following retail categories: clothing, gardening, gifts gadgets & entertainment, and home interiors/household goods.

It also contains valuable insight from Econsultancy/Adobe and Royal Mail on the latest channel trends, an overview of the UK economy in 2014 and interviews with industry leaders, such as Brora and Feather & Black.

This is our fifth report and I’m delighted to say that for the fifth year in a row, we see overall growth in the home shopping market year on year. Key findings from the 2015 Annual Trends Report include:

- Sales in the home shopping market increased by 12.0% YOY

- Below average growth in September (+7.5%) and October (+7.0%)

- Strong November (+14.3%) due to growing importance of Black Friday and Cyber Monday

- Average Order Value similar to 2013 (+1.1% YOY)

- Overall mailing volumes were down -8.1% YOY
