The short answer is the actual holiday is FEB 7th and everyone will be back at work on the 14th of February. Then the factories will gear up and start producing again.
However, don’t wait to put in your orders as the system is first order in is first out.
when is chinese new years over
More interesting is of course the whole impact CNY has on the world economy.

Chinese New Years 2019
The reason and facts about Chinese New Years are unknown to many of here in the West…so this blog post will give you a simple explanation which might help you to explain to your customers why the holiday is so disruptive.
China direct product promotional products from promo motive. Get your logo on unique promotional products. ASI and PPAI promo.
1) China is the most populous country in the world with 1.25 BILLION people. That is 4 times the population of the USA living in about the same area as the USA. It is 40 times the population of Canada!
2) Most people in China work in TRADE ZONES….these are large industrial areas (such as Shenzhen) . A TRADE ZONE is where cities and areas were built 30-40 years ago by the Chinese Govt to concentrate certain types of industry in one area. Shenzhen is electronics.
3) 35 years ago Shenzhen had a population of 100,000 people, mostly farmers. Now, Shenzhen is a city of 25 million with 100 Million living in the surrounding area. The total area of Shenzhen is about the size of Southern California from Los Angeles to San Diego!
4) Most people living in Shenzhen (and the other major centers) have moved there from the country-side of rural China…… If you were to look at Miami on a USA map…think of that as Shenzhen….Everyone comes from somewhere else!
5) Come Chinese New Years…(or close to the actual holiday)….100’s of millions of people (yes 100’s of millions) get on the train or in their cars and go home……most cannot afford to fly home (domestic airlines are expensive) so they drive for 2-5 days or train for the 3-4 days….just to get home for New Years.
6) The best way to think of this is imagine EVERYONE in the USA leaves work and gets in their car or takes a train to travel a minimum of 500-1000 miles. That is a pretty close idea of the chaos!
7) Once they get back home, (after 2-5 days of travel) about 15% of the all of the people who went home for the holiday…DO NOT RETURN…..they don’t phone in and say they are not coming back…they just DON’T RETURN!
8) So….after the holidays…employers are scrambling to get new employees to fill the roles of those who did not return. There is even a NEW business that has cropped up after the holiday to capture the returnees……Job Catchers…these are people who stand at the train stations and ask returning workers A) What do you do?..and B) How much do you make?…..They then offer these returnees (right there and then) another job at a better wage..(and then drive them to the new factory or place of work)….a full 5-7% of people returning back actually start a NEW JOB!
9) The actual holiday is Feb 7th in 2018, but it effects are felt well in advance and well after the holiday….and oh yeah…almost forgot…
10) In September and October (9 months after CNY) there is a baby boom….spouses who have not seen each other except for CNY get pregnant and then in the Autumn the woman goes home to have the baby….
So…..next time a client asks you why………send them this blog…..and it will help….

We have been in the supply side of the promotional products industry since Clinton was President. During that time we have travelled to China multiple times to visit factories and attend product trade shows.
In our travels we come across a whole host of products that we are asked if they could be sold into the American and European promotional products world.
Some of the items we see are absolute home runs and we offer them on Promo Motive.
Some are massive fails.
The following are our Top 5 Fails for 2019.
Finger Cards. I personally think this is hilarious but when we offered it to our focus group of distributors there was a giant “ewwww” from the ladies in the crowd and a few chuckles from the guys. FAIL!
the worlds weirdest promotional products
Splash Guard. We actually did this one for a distributors client who is a RAMEN Noodle company. The factory samples I got originally all had the Pay Pal logo on them. Not sure what they thought Pay Pal would use them for? FAIL!
splash guard . Noodle splash guard one of the worlds weirdest promotional products.
Smile Enhancer/Wrinkle Relaxer. The factory I visited in Shenzhen promised me that everyone would be using them and that they would be big in Promo. FAIL!
weird promotional products. the top 5 for 2019
The Plopper. I showed this to a distributor who sold it to an eye glass company. I never heard anything more. FAIL!
the worlds weirdest promotional swag.
Ketchup and Mustard Gun. There are very few gun murders or handgun use in China as the society is just not of the gun culture. Also because the use of handguns in even the smallest crime in China gets an automatic death penalty. FAIL!
the weirdest promotional products for 2019 are found here.

Every year I take a 3+ week vacation during the Chinese New Years.
Sun, Sand and Product Research. Yeah right!
You may be thinking as you read this..”BS…product research on the beach in Mexico!” If you do think this way (ie BS) you are wrong (in a nice way).
“Yea Right…you call BS…product research on the beach in Mexico!”
We work very hard 11 months of the year trying to stay on top of the new trends and ideas. We are very quick in recognizing new ideas that work for logoing, sourcing them in China and around the world and adding them to the site making them available to you and your clients.
However, our best product research and testing is done during the period in China where everyone at the factory is on holidays. Chinese New Years.
Where I go and What I do?
For the last few years I have gone to a tiny Mexican fishing village on the west coast called La Manzanilla. I stay in a great place called Casa Maguey.
tonight la manzanilla mexico
During the next 4 weeks I will be shooting images of new products and updating Sage and our web sites. We will be testing out the products looking for advantages and decorating options that will make you and your clients happy in 2019. Stay tuned for updates.
I will be answering emails but your main contact will be Emily who is forcibly tied to a desk back at the home office. She can be reached toll free at 1-888-908-1481 or email Emily
Day 1
I arrived and checked into my Casa. The town is La Manzanilla and is a fishing village of about 2500 people located on a soft white sand beach about 5 miles long. About 4 hours south of PV.
I am on the end, on a cliff overlooking the beach. Looking forward to product research….soon, real soon.
House on the beach
Day 3
Went for a long walk today to scope out locations for the photoshoot. It’s nice and hot 80 plus with a nice breeze.
La manzanilla
Day 4 First New Product Shots.
Yes I know it sounds like a ridiculous idea but I truly do go to a remote location each year and shoot the new products. Here are the first raw images.
The first is the folding coffee cup shown both collapsed and open…how freakin’ cool…see product page

Yes I know you hate the word SWAG (Stuff We All Get), however the end user is calling it swag so maybe we should too? Wouldn’t want to seem “out of touch” now would we?
Each month we take a tally, a survey of the top 3 items viewed on our web site and each month we let you know what are the top 3 promo ideas for January 2019.

Number 2 Custom Socks
The #2 top trending item is our Custom Socks. These are also huge at retail and command a great reseller price. Special DEAL Just for you! Order any sock (sublimated or knit) for only $2.98 NET (based on 500 pairs) including FREE SHIPPING/NO SET UP!
The world’s best custom socks for your logo. Custom socks for less!
Why are you paying so much for custom promo socks?
We have been in the factory direct business in the promotional products world for over 20 years. 2 or 3 times a year we travel to China on factory visits seeing 4 or 5 new factories each visit. In total I have probably been to 80 factories or more.
I also like socks…weird I know!
In my experience in the Promo Business some products are WAY OVERPRICED in relationship to what it costs at the factory level.
The one that has caught my eye in the last year is custom socks. Custom socks for the usual suspect suppliers are way too costly. There is no good reason for this!
