March opens with spring wedding season building steadily and St. Patrick’s Day just over two weeks out.
Earnings commentary: still being digested
A week on from Goyal’s first substantive public comments as CEO, seller discussion has been thoughtful but measured, generally aligning with the wait-and-see approach we suggested rather than dramatic reaction to any single piece of commentary.
Wedding season momentum building as expected
Sellers in relevant categories report steady early activity consistent with the timeline we’ve discussed, couples planning late spring and summer dates actively researching and ordering now.
St. Patrick’s Day: modest activity, as expected for its scale
Consistent with our guidance on keeping investment proportional to this narrower category, sellers who carry relevant inventory report modest but real early traction, nothing dramatic, which tracks with how we’ve characterized this category all along.
Wedding vendor scam: no further reports this week
Following the pattern we flagged in late February, we haven’t heard additional reports this week, though we’d continue to encourage caution for anyone in wedding-adjacent categories fielding unsolicited partnership offers.
What we’re watching
St. Patrick’s Day’s final push over the next two weeks, and continued wedding season momentum as we move deeper into March.
Back next Sunday.
