Things I Won’t Carry
By businessbroad | June 29, 2008
Sometimes in business, knowing what you don’t want is as important as knowing what you do. For instance, I’m open to a lot of diversification in my stores, but you’ll never catch me stocking knitting needles, incontinence supplies , or udder cream. Those items might be useful to someone, but they’re just not appropriate for what I hope to achieve in my retail spaces.
When you have sales people coming in and trying to push their latest lines on you, it can be easy to lose site of your vision for the store. It’s their job to do that, you know. If you spend a little time thinking about what you don’t want to carry, though, you’ll find that it’s a lot easier to get what you DO want.
