It is important to know what your competition is selling and think outside the box, or bag if you will, on what "you" want to offer your customer...
Hold a brainstorm session with your team members to gain additional product ideas your customers just may be craving...also ask your customers.
A recent testimonial from one of our customers demonstrates this well.
"WRA Winter Seasonal Products saved my business; we were the only store in the area offering such items. Boutique Retailer, Brentwood, CA"
In this retailer,s case, they never offered winter products before. And, our low-no-minimums allowed them to experiment at first and then move into a total winter product set.
Product Challenge: Shop you competitors with your customer's mind set. Then shop your store with the same mind set...any new ideas??? I bet!!!
