Incredible to believe but according to Experian there were 107 million visits to websites on Christmas Day, which is up 86% from the previous year. This is down to the big high street names starting their online sales earlier than ever before.
And Ofcom says that internet shopping is more popular in the UK than in any other major country, with Google claiming in the summer that mobile devices had led to increased spontaneous shopping.
As a wholesale jewellery supplier, we are more than happy to hang up our keyboards before Christmas and enjoy the break but it seems that for the retail industry there truly is no respite.

The new Spring launches have got off to a cracking start
The new Spring launches have got off to a cracking start with retailers keen to get their hands on the latest stock of Miss Milly wholesale jewellery as well as the brand new Annanova designer purses.We've received great reviews for the new Floria and Elodie pieces, and are delighted to welcome so many of Annanova's customers to the Miss Milly family.
As part of our Spring campaign, we are featuring new lifestyle shots of the gorgeous UK wholesale jewellery worn by Eloise.
Sitting here in the wilds of Worcestershire with the snow starting to fall, these images make the Spring seem just that little bit closer!
Miss Milly is a new UK wholesale jewellery supplier and exclusive distributor of Annanova purses and notebooks in the UK, Ireland and Europe.

Business Relocation & Office Clearance
We
will be moving premises over the weekend of 12 January. Our new address
will be: Unit 16N, Top Barn Business Centre, Worcester Road, Holt,
Worcestershire WR6 6NH. Our phone number will remain the same on 01905
612955. We will continue to welcome customers to buy at the office with a
pre-booked appointment, and there is plenty of free parking available. When
the weather improves, you’ll be able to combine your visit with a drink
at the cafe by the lake and taking some PYO berries home for tea.
As a result of the relocation, we have jewellery, scarves, furniture, baskets and display items (paper twine, metal and wooden) to clear from our old Worcester city premises, including a 12 shelf Apple glass display cabinet with integral lighting and five lockable drawers in a wooden base. If you are interested, please call 01905 612955 or email hello@missmilly.co.uk for further details.

New stock available online now!
It is here and looking gorgeous. The spring & summer 2013 collections are now live online and available to order. Go straight to the New Arrivals section on the Miss Milly website or browse through the Harmony, Floria and Elodie Collections as well as our stunning new Annanova designer purses and notebooks.
This is the perfect opportunity to refresh your stock and displays for the new season with on-trend colours and styles. Our minimum order of £50 and no minimum quantity applies to both the jewellery and purses so you can make your orders up exactly as you wish.
We will be exhibiting at the Spring Fair on Stand C18 in Hall 19 so you can also come and see the new lines then. The minimum order and carriage costs (£6.95 for orders under £250, carriage paid over £250) are the same for both the show and the website, so there is no disadvantage in ordering online and getting your stock earlier.

A Harmonious Balance
The Harmony 1 necklace and bracelet (pictured above) introduce bright, bold colour through dyed jade, offset with accents of shiny
stainless steel. The benefits of using stainless steel over silver are the
lower cost and that it doesn’t tarnish or require polishing. The brain quickly
reads and passes over symmetry so with these pieces, and others in the range,
Miss Milly focuses on asymmetrical design, which catches and holds the eye.
Other jewellery in the Harmony Collection is carefully crafted with agate, cubic zirconia, Brazilian crystal,
pearlescent rose quartz and freshwater potato pearls. And where possible, each
piece of jewellery includes a beautiful Miss Milly engraved stainless steel
brand tag.
If you are looking for a high quality
range of jewellery at reasonable prices and to inject some colour into your
display, this is a great collection to try out. With trade prices from £3.50,
the Harmony Collection is available online at www.missmilly.co.uk
with a minimum order of just £50 or call Miss Milly on 01905 612955. All items
can be ordered in singles or the quantity that best suits your requirements.
Miss Milly focuses on affordable,
quality jewellery and accessories, and the full range can be seen online at www.missmilly.co.uk. Retailers need to
register online to view trade prices and, once verified, they can
add products to a wish list to share with colleagues or order at a later date,
as well as having access to previous orders.

New year review
A new year is the perfect time to reflect and since our launch of Miss Milly, a UK wholesale jewellery supplier, just four months ago we haven't had the chance to stop and review our progress until now.
For me, personally, breaking away from a company I'd founded and starting again in the middle of a recession may have seemed madness to some but despite the huge emotional and financial obstacles put in my way, I would not change it for anything.
The opportunity to start a wholesale jewellery UK company again from scratch has been fantastic, allowing me to immediately implement the positive lessons I've learned from all my experiences in the last 20 years as well as minimising the start-up risks. And now as we begin 2013, I have taken the time to evaluate how the launch of Miss Milly has worked and what the key focus for growth will be for the coming year alongside highlighting where we need to improve. So we're evaluating, for example, which marketing is most effective at bringing in new wholesale jewellery customers and which areas of the UK have the least retail customer coverage.
And we have the launch of our gorgeous new jewellery range, the Harmony Collection, to look forward to on 11 January, as well as our first collection of Annanova designer purses. There is definitely something about a new year to focus the mind!
