When Queen Elizabeth died in September, Carl Hulme happened to be in England – the perfect spot to scoop up commemorative fine bone china, tea towels and canvas bags to stock his Blimeys British Store and Gift Shop in Essex, Ont.were arriving at his shop about 30 kilometres from the Windsor-Detroit border.
Joanne McNeish, a Toronto Metropolitan University professor specializing in marketing, suspects the array of products will delight Canadian monarchists, royalists, memorabilia collectors and many who just want something to mark a historical moment. Between celebrations, memorabilia, books and tourism, the Centre for Retail Research in Norfolk, England estimates more than £1.4 billion will be spent on the coronation by U.K. consumers.
It’s hard for McNeish to predict how strong Canadian sales tied to the King’s coronation will be or how it will compare to interest in memorabilia tied to his mother, Queen Elizabeth.
