New Dollar Store Items
Dollar Store Merchandise offers customers the perfect balance of new dollar
store items and old favorites. Since we don't sell closeouts, we continue to
carry items for as long as they are manufactured. If an item does well in your
store, you can reorder it through Dollar Store Merchandise. This may sound like
a given, but in the world of dollar store warehouses, it's an anomaly; many
dollar store warehouses only sell closeouts, making reordering impossible.
In addition to old favorites, Dollar Store Merchandise also sells plenty of new
dollar store items. The balance of new and old items we carry can serve as a
template for your own store. To ensure your dollar store's success, be sure to
continue with those items that continuously sell well--but always offer
customers lots of fresh, new items that you promote and position well. It's not
just enough to carry new inventory items; you also have to make your customers
aware of these new items through product positioning.
The solution may be as simple as printing up signs that read New Item. Group
your new items according to product category, tape up the appropriate New Item
signs, and track what happens. If a certain item doesn't sell as well as you'd
hoped it would, try placing it in a more favorable part of your store, like the
end of an aisle.
Chances are, many of your loyal customers visit you regularly simply to see what
new items you have in stock. Customers love novelty, and the more novelty you
provide, the more regular customers you'll have who pop into your store to
browse. To see our stock of new product items and old favorites, visit
