With Christmas just over 10 weeks away, retailers are starting to gear up for one of the biggest appliance sales periods of the year. One of the major categories to see a boost over Christmas is the coffee category – sales of fully automatic machines in last December alone were more than double the average for the previous six months.

With such a big sales period around the corner, Philips Saeco has announced a cashback promotion to help push sales of its machines in the lead up to Christmas.
