get with Cap, maybe u can stock his bennies
Should be here this week!get with Cap, maybe u can stock his bennies
From walking the same path....
lemme give you some advice: Always remember that what interests you may not interest others.
Keep in mind that "uncommon" products may/may not sell. It's also very hard to get folks to switch from what they know. This includes coming into a new store and trying uncommon products.
Focus on what will sell first. I know that isn't much fun, but it's a tough business and having 10 uncommon products on the shelf will do little to get your name out there if you don't have the ONE common product folks came in for. It's truly tough to figure out what to stock...and sure as you think you have it dicked folks will come in asking for something you don't have. then..you buy that product....and nobody comes in to buy it. yikes.
A few ideas. Some of these may not be practical...dunno what yer set up is/locale is/capacity for butt-busting work is/time constraints are...etc. or what products are going for these days too discern profit margins.....but maybe it will foster thought:
Bulk soils- brought in by the truckload.....sold back out by the pound. Folks could custom mix
Bulk amendments- Possibly rebagged/branded as your "Store line" -
ACT brew kits....also branded through your store
I made 11 site cloners from 5 gal buckets while trying to pass time in the store and sold more of them than EZ-cloners/etc. with a better profit margin.
again though..... keep costs in mind. How much cash will you be out if you can't sell the item? And...keep that "just because <I> think it's cool...will it really sell? This is key!
Stay away from hyped trends... HG Roots Excelurator , Sure to Grow off the top off my head. Like Sky said, soil amendments. Get some bulk bins sell by the pound. Have some good base soil ingredients/recipes (coco, peat, perlite, worm castings, pumice, compost, humus for custys to use. Similar to a brew store, walk in and say I want Mirror Pond, they will have it almost prepacked for you. Get a vortex brewer. Brew batches. Give away a gallon of concentrate, then $5 for next. to name a few
Watch out for specials from distributors.
Vortex brewer would be dope! Especially displayed with ingredients for different brews.
Bioag fulpower and some of there other dry products. They have very good humic and fulvic acid products and I rarely see em in stores
Sea Green
Banana Manna
Sorry But Roots E works, plain and simple.
Caps bennies or the like.
Earth Kelp
Earth Syrup
Just a few I have that are tried and true.
sell act tea from your store display vortex brewer.:D
oh, u have a method of top dressing a hydro system?:rolleyes:There is insufficient evidence that ACT and vortex brewers are more effective than a simple top dressing. imho they are a waste of time and money.
