Snow globes

Wholesale officially licensed snow globes

At ERIK, we create and distribute wholesale Christmas snow globes with official licences for specialist stores, stationery shops, gift shops and fandom retail. Our catalogue brings together designs from Disney, Harry Potter, Star Wars, Marvel and other licences, designed to complete the Christmas assortment with a decorative product of strong visual impact. They work both as gifts and for consumers who want to decorate their own homes at Christmas with their favourite characters and universes.

A campaign product: Christmas decoration and gifts

The snow globe is a campaign product, not a year-round rotation item: demand is concentrated in the fourth quarter of the year, when two equally relevant purchase motivations come together: the Christmas gift and home Christmas decoration with a recognisable object.

• Demand concentrated during the Christmas campaign, as a seasonal product.
• Two purchase motivations: Christmas gift and home decoration.
• High visual value in shop windows and displays.
• Collectible and emotional component linked to the licence.
• Ideal for completing the campaign order without the need for permanent stock.

For the professional buyer, this seasonal concentration makes it possible to plan stock clearly and use snow globes as a complement to other Christmas decoration, gift and merchandising categories. There is no need to keep them all year round: their main function is to enrich the fourth-quarter assortment and increase the appeal of the shop window.

Officially licensed snow globes: chosen for emotion

Consumers choose a snow globe because of the licence and design, not because of the product’s technical features: the purchase is driven by the emotional connection with that licence, not by a functional need. As buyers are fans of the universe represented, the purchase decision is simpler and more impulsive than with a generic decorative item.

It is also increasingly common for consumers to buy them for their own homes, looking for a Christmas item that is different from generic decoration and linked to their favourite characters.

• Differentiation from generic Christmas decoration.
• More and more buyers want to decorate their own homes with a personal and recognisable touch, not only buy gifts.
• Licences with the strongest Christmas and family appeal: Disney, Harry Potter, Star Wars, Marvel.
• Additional fandom licences: Minions, Shrek, Snoopy, The Lord of the Rings, The Simpsons.
• Works especially well in fandom stores, stationery shops with a seasonal section and family gift shops.

The purchase does not depend solely on the intention to give a gift. Many consumers look for pieces with which to personalise their Christmas decoration and express their tastes, which means a Harry Potter, Disney or Star Wars snow globe also works as a self-purchase and collectible item.

What types of stores add snow globes to their campaign?

Our catalogue is designed for retailers looking to expand their Christmas offer with decorative products and recognisable licences.

• Stores specialised in fandom and pop culture.
• Stationery shops with a seasonal section.
• Gift shops.
• Bookshops.
• Home and decoration stores.
• Concept stores.
• Retail chains.
• Stores specialised in official licences.

Thanks to their volume, decorative finish and visual recognition, snow globes work especially well in shop windows, themed tables and campaign displays. Even when unit sales are not as high as in other categories, they help build a more attractive Christmas presentation and draw attention to other items from the same licence.
