Random Inspiration for Your Store
By businessbroad | December 2, 2007
I like to brainstorm about what products might work out in my store. I don’t always end up carrying the things I think of, but it’s definitely a good exercise to consider new avenues for profit. I look through catalogs, watch commercials, read trade publications, and ask the people I know. Lately, I’ve given some thought to food, diet pills, jazz music, coffee table books, and kitchen gadgets. Of those, I have been testing coffee table books and kitchen gadgets most recently, with a reasonable amount of success. Things don’t always work out, but it’s worth testing, especially if you can find vendors with small minimum orders.
What odd or previously unfamiliar items have you decided to carry lately? If the answer is none, perhaps you should be brainstorming, too
