Simply Brands Top Travel Essentials
An important factor in retail is being one step ahead of the game. This means a whole lot of forward planning, forecasting and ensuring your business is well-prepared for the seasons and trends to come. Many of our stockists and distribution partners work to a 6-month lead time. This of course isn’t suitable for everyone, and all of our clients have their own successful way of working to order their stock and get it off those shelves. However, as we are now a few months away from the height of travel season, we thought we’d put a spotlight on some Simply Brands travel essentials our stockists need to be ordering, and consumers need to be buying!
So, the seatbelt sign is on. Prepare for take-off…
The essential product list
Memory Foam with cooling gel neck cushion
Starting with the absolute travel essential; the travel pillow. Nothings more important than remaining comfortable on longer journeys but that’s easily the hardest part. The cooling gel helps relieve any neck ache and strain, whilst the high-quality memory foam provides long-lasting support and comfort for your neck and head.
Wireless Bluetooth Eye Mask
If you’re trying to catch a few ZZZ’s on the plane, or just after a decent night’s sleep after a long day of sightseeing and exploring, our Wireless Bluetooth Eye Mask is THE perfect product. By blocking out unwanted light and masking the drone of cabin noise, it enables the user to sleep faster, and deeper. Play soothing sounds or your favourite tracks all whilst remaining extremely comfortable; and machine washable. You’ll find it’s just as great at home as it was on holiday.
Rechargeable Bendy Fan
We have a huge range of fans in our Simply Brands collection, but the Rechargeable Bendy Fan comes with a flexible and versatile tripod, making it lightweight and portable; perfect for keeping cool and the move! With its adjustable legs, it’s the perfect accessory for wrapping around push chairs and handle bars to keep the kids cool too.
Phone Chargers
This of course isn’t just for those long-haul travel adventures. Extra phone chargers are handy to have in a number of locations. In a bag, in the car, at work, at home… It’s safe to say most consumers don’t just rely on one charger. And so, having a high quality, great value charger to use wherever, whenever is an absolute essential. That’s why we launched our Simply Power brand, spanning everything required for the home, car and on-the-go, including our highly popular Sustainable Edition chargers. They’re made from recycled plastic bottles, and come in a fully recyclable cardboard packaging. Or check out our Premium Edition range for super-fast charging and syncing, a tangle-free design and our 12-month guarantee.
Chargers are a great addition to a POS display too. Perfect for boosting those basket values and capturing those shoppers whilst picking up their holiday essentials.
EV Chargers
The open road awaits! Holiday season isn’t just about boarding flights anymore. Many consumers are looking for ways to reduce costs as well as their carbon footprint. But with the increase of Electric Vehicles on our roads, road trips aren’t the same. With a long journey ahead, drivers don’t want to be caught off-guard with no ability to charge their car, So, if they’re going on an EV adventure, they’ll need a high quality, reliable EV charging cable. Our charging cables offer fast charging, they’re lightweight and flexible and ensure drivers can relax, knowing they’re ready to charge up and take to the open road in no time.
Motoring abroad
One of the greatest ways to explore somewhere new is to drive it. Motoring abroad is exciting, thrilling and enables tourists to take their exploring at their own place, stop off anywhere they choose and see a great range of places in one easy trip! However, it is something that can require a little more organisation and planning to create a comfortable, safe trip. That’s why we have developed a dedicated area to motoring abroad, which includes UK magnetic plates, Ratchet Tie Down kits, Universal Bulb kits and more.
Plus, for travelling in Europe, we created our specialist Euro Travel Kit. It includes an adult safety vest, hazard warning triangle, a universal bulb kit, two Eurolites headlight beam converters, a magnetic self-adhesive UK plate and standard first aid kit all in a handy zipper carry bag!
And, when those long days on the road start to take their toll, we have an easy way to make driving more comfortable. Our D-Shaped Lumbar Cushion is great for supporting the lower back with easy installation in almost any vehicle. And, our Black Beaded Seat Cushion has a padded surround for added comfort and wooden beading to help with air circulation.
So there you have it! A great range of products to help make travel that bit easier, more comfortable and more enjoyable. The only question is… Where are you going?
