Bhubaneswar: 2020 will be over in a few days. The year 2021 will come. People will wish each other a happy New Year. Will give gifts. Will express the feeling of love. The gift market is booming. Crowds of customers have been spotted on the market, including diaries, expensive pens, greeting cards, chocolates, flowers, toddlers, cakes and sweets. Gifts and card shops are especially popular. This year, however, the corona epidemic has affected the market to some extent. The gift business will not be the same as last time, according to traders. People are reluctant to come to the store for Karona. Sales fell by nearly 50 percent. In some offices, there are still fewer employees. So the business of diaries, pens, etc. is not the same as before. But traders are of the opinion that the sale of such products as Crackerie and Thermoflask remains the same. The main reason for the slow sales of diaries and calendars this New Year’s Eve, according to the capital’s leading fashion retailer, is Corona. According to him, the lockdown began in March. The supply chain was disrupted. We have not received orders from customers to sell new items. That’s why we can’t order buyers. We were wondering what the market would be like on New Year’s Eve. If the diary is printed, the money will fall into the water if they are not sold. Therefore, a large number of notebook notebooks have been issued, with no date written in place of the diary. But it is difficult to say exactly how big the New Year gift market will be in the state, but it will be more than Rs 100 crore, a trader said. They are excited to have so many business opportunities for businessmen on New Year’s Eve.
