Wholesale Dollar Items
There are two primary considerations to keep in mind when
stocking dollar store merchandise. The first is to have the widest possible
variety of items in stock. Successful dollar stores owners know that "the more
you have, the more you sell." You should also be aware of the effect of your
location on the demographics of your customers and select your merchandise
accordingly.
Impulse buying is key for a dollar store's success. The low prices, plus a wide
selection of goods, make it likely that the average customer will purchase
several more items than originally intended. The more items you have on display,
the more likely that something will catch a customer's eye. He may have come in
for sandpaper, but when he sees your displays of key rings, flashlights, potato
chips and work gloves, you've made several more sales.
What's the tone of your neighborhood? Who lives there, and who passes through
every day? If you're next door to a high school, for instance, you'll sell more
glitter nail polish than lace doilies. The opposite is true if there's a senior
center or retirement home in the area. If you're near a gym, stock energy bars
and power drinks. If you're near a playground, stock toys and candy.
