Stationery bestsellers & emerging trends

When looking to bulk buy stationery for your store, it’s always helpful to understand what’s trending, and what’s popular at different times of the year. Here’s our take: 

Planners & diaries: new year essentials

There’s something about turning the first crisp page of a notebook that gets the new year off to a great start. Stock up on dated journals and planners from our stationery wholesalers in time for the festive and early January peak. 

Bullet journals remain on-trend

We’ve written a beginners’ guide to bullet journals which documented how this type of journal became so popular, and how to ‘bullet journal’. While some of the hype has since died down, these are still a really popular style.

Greeting cards: a great stationery starter

It’s estimated that 811 million greeting cards are bought in the UK each year; that’s around 12 per person. Greeting cards are also typically fairly high margin, with many cards on CREOATE having a margin of 60% or more. 

And what you’ll often find is that people will pop into your store for a greeting card, and end up leaving with one (or several!) things they didn’t even know they needed. And while you can tap into seasonal events and specific occasions, there are also plenty of lovely ‘neutral’ options if you just want to keep it to a few options. Who can resist a colourful 

Washi tape: the ideal impulse purchase 

Who can resist a colourful and highly appealing reel of washi tape? They make the perfect little countertop or tabletop display, and are perfect for eco-conscious shoppers. 

Bold colour

We’ve noticed bold colours dominating stationery designs, and underpinning the most impactful stationery displays in store. When it comes to colour and stationery, it seems more is more! 


FAQs

What’s important to keep in mind when stocking wholesale stationery?

Clever merchandising can really bring your stationery stock to life, and brighten up your whole store. Let customers leaf through the premium paper of your journals by displaying them on a table, and leaving one unwrapped to ‘sample’. Display your brightly illustrated wrapping paper on a ladder shelf, and let cards sing by spreading them out on shelves.

Besides merchandising, remember you might see more damage with stationery products (crinkled wrapping paper, scuffed notebook corners, pens used as samples), so be sure to allow for this when ordering stock.

How profitable is stationery as a category?

As we mentioned above, a lot of stationery products are high margin (60%+), and many stationery products are evergreen rather than seasonal, so you don’t have to worry about things becoming out of date. Even seasonal stock like wholesale Christmas cards can be brought out year after year if they’re kept carefully, making stationery a generally simple and profitable category to stock.

The exception here is dated diaries, journals, and calendars. Sales for these will peak between November and early January, before drastically dropping off, and leaving stock that’s hard to shift. So it’s important to plan more carefully when buying these types of items wholesale, as well as giving them pride of place for those key buying months, and going for a higher margin here where possible.

Where are these wholesale stationery suppliers based?

The brands on CREOATE are based all over the world. So whether you’re looking to find a stationery wholesaler near you and keep things local, or want to branch out with global brands, you’ll find plenty of bulk stationery options for your store.

Can I use CREOATE to bulk order stationery for myself, or my office?

CREOATE is only available for retailers shopping wholesale for resale. Our products have a wholesale price, and our customers then sell them on to the end customer for the retail price. So if you’re looking for a stationery bulk buy option for yourself, or for use in an office, we’re not quite the right fit.

Do you work with many stationery wholesalers in the UK?

Yes! A large proportion of our wonderful suppliers are based in the UK, including hundreds of brilliant UK stationery wholesalers. If you’d rather buy from UK wholesalers, simply use the ‘Country’ filter at the top of this page to narrow down your bulk stationery search.
