I don’t think it will sell that well, people don’t like him.
And with that, the group of four retailers moved on from this stand offering coronation memorabilia at the Spring Fair in Birmingham yesterday.
There were several stands with products. The displays did not appear to attract people from what I could see as I walked past.
In the group of four I overheard there were 2 girls and 2 guys. The age range of this group I eavesdropped on was from 20s to 60s. They all agreed as to popularity, or not as it was in this case.
I’m aware of a couple of Australian importers pitching coronation memorabilia. It will be fascinating to see the interest in Australia.
I think there is a big difference between the pitch cushions, mugs and similar and commemorative mint coin sets. I suspect 2023 will offer us some good opportunities with the latter.
I didn’t come to Spring Fair to look for or consider coronation related products. On first glance I was surprised to see them, but it makes sense here in the UK.
