Port Washington, NY—Mother’s Day in particular, as well as the dads and grads gift-giving season, is traditionally strong for camera sales, notes the NPD Group’s Stephen Baker. And this year, Mother’s Day didn’t disappoint in terms of camera sales for mom, he notes.
In fact, sales of detachable-lens cameras and digital point-and-shoot compact cameras saw their best sales week year to date corresponding with the week leading up to Mother’s Day. That was the week ending May 12, 2018.
